These fluffy yeast pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, offering a light and airy texture with a hint of sweetness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed to avoid clumps in the batter.
Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter consistency.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free area to help the yeast activate.
Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat.
Test the griddle's heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
Use a ladle or measuring cup for consistent pancake sizes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Avoid pressing down on the pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
