How to Make 49Er Flapjacks

  1. In a small saucepan, warm 1 cup of milk to 110°F (43°C). Remove from heat.
  2. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the warm milk and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter to the yeast mixture.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Gently whisk to deflate the batter.
  7. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest overnight in the refrigerator (or at room temperature for up to 8 hours).
  8. In the morning, gently whisk the batter again to deflate. Whisk in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. The batter should be pourable and slightly runny. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
  10. Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  11. For each flapjack, carefully pour 1 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Immediately remove from heat, then tilt the pan to evenly spread the batter.
  12. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look set.
  13. Do not flip until the bubbles have popped and the top appears mostly dry. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  14. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Serve immediately on warmed plates, stacked 2 or 3 flapjacks high. They cool quickly!
  16. Serves 3-4
