Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, salt and vanilla to a smooth batter. Stir in the sparkling water. The batter should be thin like single cream. Rest for 15 minutes.

Mix the walnuts with the caster sugar in a small bowl.
- 3
Heat a 22 cm non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and brush with a little oil. Pour in a small ladleful of batter and swirl to coat the base thinly.
- 4
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is golden, then flip and cook for 30 seconds. Slide onto a plate. Repeat to make 8 pancakes, oiling the pan as needed.
- 5
Spread each pancake with a spoonful of jam and a sprinkle of the walnut mix, then roll up or fold into quarters.

Dust with icing sugar and serve straight away.
