Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Sift the flour to remove any lumps.
Step 2
Warm the milk and pour it into a bowl. Add the sugar and dry yeast, then stir in about one-third of the flour.
Step 3
Leave the mixture in a warm place for about 10–15 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface.
Step 4
Add the salt, vegetable oil and egg to the risen yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the remaining sifted flour and mix into a thick batter, roughly the consistency of sour cream.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the batter in a warm place for about 20–40 minutes. Once it has risen, do not stir it.
Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Spoon portions of the batter into the pan and cook over low heat for about 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve with jam, sweetened condensed milk or sour cream.
