Instructions: Heat milk in small saucepan over medium heat until lukewarm. Transfer milk to a large bowl, and stir in the sugar and yeast. Let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes.

Whisk in the flour, salt, butter, and egg yolks until smooth. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Transfer bowl to a warm place; let dough rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Heat griddle to 375 degrees and oven to 175 degrees. Using 2-ounce (1/4 cup) ladle, pour batter onto griddle, creating several pools 2 inches apart. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the top and the edges are slightly dry, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the pancakes; cook until golden on bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a heat-proof plate; keep in warm oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm.

Makes 2 dozen pancakes.

Yield: 2 dozen
