Preparation

Mix the egg yolks, agave syrup and yoghurt. Add the flour, Cinnamon and yeast. Gradually stir in
the milk. 

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff with the salt. Gently add them to the dough.

Put a cookie cutter of your favourite shape into a hot buttered frying pan.

Pour a ladle of dough into it and cook until bubbles appear. Turn the pancake over and let the other side cook. When the pancake is a golden brown, remove from heat onto a plate. Continue until the dough is all gone!
