Tips for the Best Pancakes
The container size can’t be any smaller than a 2-quart because the yeast will make the pancakes grow. You don’t want them to lift the lid and start growing outside of the casserole dish.
If you don’t have any instant nonfat dry milk powder in your pantry, you can substitute two cups of warm milk instead of the 3/4 cup of powdered milk and replace the 2 ½ cups of warm water with ½ cups of warm water.
Proof the yeast to make sure it is still good or the water wasn’t too hot or cold to make the pancakes will grow.

Overnight Yeast Pancakes
1 tablespoon of dry yeast
2 ½ cups of warm water (not hot)
1 tablespoon of sugar
3/4 cup of powdered milk
1/3 cup of canola oil + 3 tablespoons for frying
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
3 cups of sifted flour
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water with the sugar. Let it rest to proof for about five minutes to give the yeast time to feed off of the sugar. The water will have a bit of foam.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat with your electric mixer until the batter is smooth.
- Place in a 2-quart-covered container or casserole dish and refrigerate at least eight hours or overnight.
- The next morning, mix the batter with a whisk or fork before measuring out by tablespoonfuls or small measuring cup to desired size.
- Heat the three tablespoons of oil first before frying.
