Step 1
All ingredients should be at room temperature – this helps the dough rise better and faster. Use refined, odorless oil. You may need more or less flour than stated, depending on the dough. You can replace dry yeast with fresh yeast (use three times more).
Step 2
Slightly warm the milk in a microwave – it should become pleasantly warm, not hot, or it will curdle. Pour it into a deep bowl. Add the yeast and half of the sugar to the milk. Mix with a whisk and leave it for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3
During this time, the mixture should bubble and increase in volume – this means the yeast is active. If not, start over with new yeast.
Step 4
Sift 2/3 of the flour into the bowl. Add the remaining sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and crack in the egg.
Step 5
Mix the dough until smooth. It should be thick but still flowy. Add more flour if too runny or a little milk if too thick.

Step 6
Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place for 1 hour. It should rise 2-3 times in volume.
Step 7
Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom – a generous amount of oil helps the pancakes rise well. Spoon the dough into the skillet to form pancakes. Do not stir the dough before scooping, to avoid deflating it.
Step 8
Fry the pancakes for 2–3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and fry the other side until done.

Step 9
Remove the ready pancakes onto a plate. Add a bit more oil to the skillet if needed. Spoon out the next batch and fry in the same way. This recipe makes about 12 medium-sized pancakes.
Step 10
Serve the fluffy pancakes hot with sour cream, jam, preserves, or honey. Enjoy!
