Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sparkling water, sugar, salt, and oil.

3. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes.
4. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat.
5. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
6. Cook for about 1–2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
