Ingredients
Instructions
- Soften the yeast in warm water.
- Beat the egg and add the milk.
- Beat with rotary beater until smooth.
- Stir in the yeast mixture.
- Allow the batter to stand at room temperature for 1 to 1 1/2 hours without stirring.
- Bake on a hot, greased skillet or griddle until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, you can use whole milk instead of low-fat. If you don’t have Bisquick, substitute with 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure your yeast is fresh for proper rising. You can also add vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these flapjacks warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. They pair beautifully with fresh fruits like berries or bananas for a wholesome breakfast. For a delightful twist, serve alongside yogurt or a dollop of whipped cream. They also make a great addition to brunch menus alongside dishes like 'Streusel Pumpkin Pie'.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover flapjacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster for a crispy finish. You can also microwave them for about 20-30 seconds if you're in a hurry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these flapjacks gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or use gluten-free all-purpose flour. Be sure to check that the yeast is also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
How can I make these flapjacks sweeter?
To increase sweetness, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or honey to the batter. Alternatively, serve with sweet toppings like syrup or fruit preserves for an extra touch.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). This will help bind the ingredients while keeping the flapjacks moist.
