Dissolve the yeast in a warm water. Combine all the dry ingredients for batter. Stir in the yeast and cold water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I usually left it overnight
Combine the brown sugar, melted coconut oil, baking soda and hot water. Pour into the batter that you've prepared and stir to mix well. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes. The batter should be airy and light
Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray. If you want to make mini pancakes, drop about 1 Tbsp of the batter onto the pan or griddle and cook for about 1 minute or less and flip over and cook for another minute. Continue with the rest of the batter until you're done. Serve with maple syrup and butter if you like.
