Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make thick fluffy pancakes using yeast? Prepare your food. This amount of ingredients is designed for 7 small pancakes. Take more if necessary. Milk of any fat content is suitable. The oil is high quality, without added vegetable fats.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, prepare the dough. How to make a dough? Take a third of the total amount of milk and heat it to a temperature of 38-40 degrees. It is at this temperature that the yeast is activated; too hot will kill it; in a cold environment it will not wake up. Add a third of the sugar, salt and dry yeast to the warm milk. Stir. Add a couple of tablespoons of flour and mix the mixture well again until smooth.

Step 3

Step 3
Cover the dish with the dough with a napkin and leave for 10-15 minutes to rise. After this time, it should bubble and double in volume. If this does not happen, then take other yeast and repeat the process.

Step 4

Step 4
Take a dough bowl and beat an egg into it. Add the remaining sugar and beat the egg until smooth. Pour the mixture into the egg and stir.

Step 5

Step 5
Sift flour into a bowl. Start kneading the dough by pouring the remaining milk into it in portions. This addition will avoid the formation of lumps in the dough. At this stage you can adjust the consistency of the dough. If you add more milk, it will be runny and the pancakes will be thin. With a thick batter, the pancakes will come out fluffy and thick. Stir the dough until smooth. At the very end, pour melted butter into it.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the dough in a warm place for at least half an hour, preferably an hour to rise. If you are short on time, you can keep the bowl of dough in a water bath. The dough will double in size.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan over high heat. Lubricate it with a drop of vegetable oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the middle of the frying pan, distributing it evenly along the bottom.

Step 8

Step 8
Fry the pancake on one side until golden brown, then flip to the other. Remove the finished pancakes to a plate. If desired, you can grease them with butter. There is no need to grease the pan — the oil in the dough will prevent them from sticking. Or you can not add oil to the dough, but fry pancakes on it.

Step 9

Step 9
Serve pancakes hot, with sour cream, honey, jam, and fresh berries. Bon appetit!
