Steps:
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the lukewarm water.
- To the same bowl, add the flour, the salt, and the egg. Mix well to combine to a smooth batter. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set the mixture aside for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, and if you are making savory pancakes, gently incorporate the crumbled Feta cheese.
- Heat a 12"non-stick skillet and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, spoon about 2 TBSP. of the batter into the pan, forming about a 3" pancake. When the pancakes get a nice color, flip them over. Cook them in batches, about four at a time.
- When they are ready, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and continue cooking the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of warm honey. If you make the sweet version, add some chopped walnuts too. My kids like to top these with Nutella or jam as well!
