👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Activate the Yeast

Crumble the yeast into a small amount of lukewarm milk.
Add a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2️⃣ Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.
Add the eggs, oil, and the activated yeast mixture.
Gradually pour in the milk and sparkling water (half milk, half sparkling water), whisking continuously until you get a smooth, slightly thicker-than-crepe batter.

3️⃣ Let It Rise

Cover the bowl and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30–40 minutes, until slightly puffy.

4️⃣ Cook

Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat.
Pour in a ladle of batter and gently spread it.
Cook until golden on both sides.
