How to cook Yeast pancakes

Step 1

Warm the milk to room temperature, skim off any foam if necessary. Add dry yeast to the milk and mix thoroughly. The milk should acquire a characteristic creamy hue.

Step 2

Add eggs, salt, sugar to the milk and beat slightly.

Step 3

Sift flour into the milk and egg mixture in a bowl and knead into a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise and become fluffy.

Step 4

Heat a frying pan with a little oil and start baking the pancakes, spreading the dough with a spoon. Fry each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side over a slightly higher than medium heat. The dish is ready!

Yeast pancakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast for these pancakes?

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for dry yeast. Use the same amount, but you can mix it directly with the flour without needing to dissolve it in the milk first.

How can I make these pancakes dairy-free?

Replace the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk. Ensure it's warmed to room temperature as instructed.

Can I make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it?

Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to reactivate the yeast.

How do I store leftover pancakes, and how long do they last?

Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.

Can I freeze these yeast pancakes?

Absolutely! Freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven.

What’s the best way to serve these pancakes?

Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, jam, or sour cream. They’re also great with savory toppings like smoked salmon or cheese.

How can I make these pancakes lighter and fluffier?

Ensure your yeast is fresh and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot. Don’t overmix the batter—gentle folding keeps the texture airy.

Can I make smaller or larger pancakes with this batter?

Yes! Adjust the portion size by using a smaller or larger spoon for spreading. Cooking time may vary slightly based on size.

What can I use instead of eggs for a vegan version?

Replace each egg with 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, or use a commercial egg replacer. The texture may be slightly denser.
