Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
4 cups (sifted)
fast rise yeast
1/2 ounce (instant or quick-acting)
sugar
2 teaspoons (granulated)
salt
2 teaspoons (fine)
warm milk
3 cups (heated to 120-130°F)
eggs
2 (beaten)
butter
1/4 cup (melted)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, fast rise yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
2
Slowly add the warm milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat the batter on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
3
Cover the mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm environment. Allow the batter to rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes.
4
Once risen, preheat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter by 1/2 cupfuls onto the hot griddle, ensuring to leave space between each pancake.
5
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, indicating it’s time to flip them. Carefully turn the pancakes over and cook on the second side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes more.
6
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
