Caraway Mini Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon whole caraway
Instructions
- Mix the yeast with warm water and sugar in a bowl and stir. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Combine the warm milk, egg and melted butter in with the yeast mixture, making sure to mix well.
- Add the baking soda and flour, stirring only until incorporated. Don’t over mix, as it will create too much gluten and make a dense pancake.
- Rest the batter 30-40 minutes in a warm place. The batter will grow in size and look bubbly.
- Heat a buttered griddle over medium-high heat. Scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
- These mini pancakes also make the perfect foundation for a poached egg for a savory Benedict or garnish with creme fraiche and smoked salmon for a tasty brunch appetizer. The possibilities are endless!
