Oma's Authentic Pfannkuchen Recipe (German Pancakes)

Ingredients
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth with no lumps remaining.
Add the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
Add the sugar, salt and sparkling water and mix until you have a smooth, even batter.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and gives the pancakes a better texture.
Heat a little butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter starts to sizzle, add a ladle of batter and swirl the pan to spread it evenly.
Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip and cook for a further 2 minutes on the other side.
Slide onto a plate, add more butter to the pan and repeat until all the batter is used up.
