Add the sparkling water to the batter and mix through. A few lumps are fine, if you overmix your pancakes will be rubbery

Measure half a ladle of batter into the frying pan. When the bubbles start forming and bursting on top of the batter take a peek underneath to check the colour is a nice golden, even brown. Your first pancake is for testing the time and temperature of your stove. When the colour is good turn the pancake over and brown the other side

Repeat until the batter is all used up. Everytime you make a pancake transfer it to a baking tray in the oven to keep warm until all your pancakes are done

You should get 8 gorgeous fluffy pancakes to cover in syrup. Enjoy warm!
