Method
- 1
Whisk the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the eggs and about half the milk and whisk to a thick, smooth paste with no lumps.
- 2
Whisk in the rest of the milk, the sparkling water and 1 tbsp of the oil until the batter is the thickness of single cream. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
10 min - 3
Brush a 22 cm non stick frying pan with a little oil and heat over a medium high heat. Pour in a small ladleful of batter, tilting the pan so it thinly coats the base.
- 4
Cook for about 1 minute until the edges lift and the underside is golden. Flip and cook for 20 seconds more. Slide onto a plate and cover with foil. Repeat to make 8 pancakes.
1 min 20 s - 5
Spread each pancake with a tablespoon of jam, roll up or fold into quarters, dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
