Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Gradually add flour and the yeast mixture, stirring until smooth. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
Let it rise: Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and leave in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, until the batter doubles in size.
Cook the pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour small rounds of batter and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings—honey, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
