Sift the flour with the yeast and salt.

Beat the sugar and butter together in a mixer, then add the eggs and vanilla.

Add the flour, followed by the crushed walnuts, but do not over-mix.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls on a greased baking sheet, placing a walnut half on top of each.
