How to Make Spicy Country Pancakes

  1. Scald 1 cup of milk (heat until it just starts to simmer).
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil to the scalded milk.
  3. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm (about 105-115°F).
  4. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast in ¼ cup of warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  5. Combine the yeast mixture, 2 large eggs, and the cooled milk mixture in a large bowl.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of your favorite spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.).
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Beat the batter until smooth. A few lumps are okay.
  9. Cover the bowl and let the batter rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until doubled in size and bubbly.
  10. Gently stir down the batter before cooking.
  11. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  12. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  13. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
