I have some yeast in the fridge with an exp. date of Apr 12. I did not know if it would work so I put it in some warm sugar water and waited. IT GREW! After a big blob formed, I went ahead and added it to the fixin's for raised waffles/pancakes and it's popped the top of the Tupperware mixing bowl twice already and it has reached the top. It is actively bubbling like something at a slow boil! It is rising in my over-the-range MW oven. With the lights over the cooktop on, the inside of the oven is the perfect temperature for making yeast work.
It's Alive!

I made some dessert pancakes and they are to regular pancakes like raised doughnuts are to cake doughnuts; delightful light texture. I dusted them with powdered sugar and allspice. Yummy. I was sort of afraid to leave all of it in the fridge overnight even though it has slowed down somewhat. The recipe had to have more sugar added; the yeast ate up all of the sugar.
For dusting the pancakes with powder sugar, I used my Tupperware powder sugar sifter that looks like a little cone inverted over a larger cone, or a figure 8. It has a crank handle on top with a shaft connecting the handle to 4 plastic blades over the sifting grate in the bottom. There is a seal for the bottom for storage. It sifts powder sugar beautifully, but is probably something that remained on the fringes of the product line. A much simpler one came along in the late 70s.
