If you bake pancakes with dry yeast, they will be thinner and more tender than classic ones. The pancakes will be almost lacy. Yeast pancakes take a little longer to cook than regular ones. To cook, you will need dry yeast, which you can buy at any store, premium wheat flour and regular milk. The process itself is absolutely simple. Even a novice housewife can handle such a step-by-step recipe.
