Pancakes with milk and yeast without eggs

First, let's "wake up" the yeast. To do this, put milk in a saucepan or a small bowl and heat it until warm. We spread the yeast into the milk, also a teaspoon of sugar from the total amount and mix thoroughly until all the pieces of yeast dissolve.

We leave the mass in a warm place for twenty to thirty minutes, until foam appears on the surface. The volume of the mass should also increase markedly - this will mean that the yeast has been activated.

Sift flour in the specified amount into a volumetric bowl, add the remaining granulated sugar, a pinch of salt. Pour the milk-yeast mass, vegetable oil into the dry ingredients and knead the dough. First with a spoon, and then with your hands.

To prevent the dough from sticking, you can grease your hands with vegetable oil. The dough should not be too tight, it turns out to be soft, pliable. Tighten the bowl with the kneaded dough with cling film or cover with a clean kitchen towel and put in a warm place to rise. In about an hour and a half, the dough should double.

Pour such an amount of vegetable oil into the pan so that it covers the bottom with a layer of one and a half to two centimeters. If there is not enough oil, then there is a risk that the pancakes will not bake. We heat the oil until hot and put the pancakes in it. We form them with our hands, greased in vegetable oil, rolling small pieces of dough between our palms. Leave enough distance between the pancakes, as they grow decently in size during frying. Maintain the temperature of the stove medium-low, close the pan with a lid. First fry the pancakes on one side, until the crust is browned from below. Then turn over with a spatula to the other side and continue to fry without a lid, until the pancakes are browned from below.

We remove the fried products from the pan and put them on a paper towel: it will absorb excess oil after frying, and the pancakes will not be greasy. Then we put the crumpets on a serving plate and serve hot with sour cream, jam, honey, just with powdered sugar.
