Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

- 3 fresh eggs
- 2 - 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 liter of sparkling water
- Flour as needed (about 300 g) to achieve a batter similar to thin sour cream
- 2 - 3 tablespoons of oil
- Jam or preserve for filling (preferably homemade for a more authentic taste)

Helpful tips for ingredients:

1. Eggs: Use eggs at room temperature to achieve a more homogeneous batter. They will integrate better with the other ingredients.
2. Sugar: If you prefer a less sweet taste, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener.
3. Flour: You can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, but make sure to adjust the amount of sparkling water according to the type of flour used.
4. Jam: Choose a fruit jam that you like the most – apricot or raspberry jam are excellent choices, but feel free to try unique combinations!

History of the recipe:

Pancakes have deep roots in global cuisine, appearing in various forms and preparations around the world. From thin French crepes to thicker American pancakes, they have evolved over time to adapt to local preferences and ingredients. In our version, the use of Doubletta adds an extra crunch and unique texture, turning pancakes into a true delicacy.

Step by step to success:

1. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Use a whisk or mixer to achieve a homogeneous and fluffy mixture. This will add an airy texture to the pancakes.

2. Add sparkling water: Continue by adding the sparkling water gradually. This secret ingredient will give the pancakes a slight effervescence, making them fluffier and easier to digest.

3. Incorporate the flour: Gradually add the flour, constantly mixing with the whisk to avoid lumps. The batter should have a consistency similar to thin sour cream. If you notice it is too thick, add a splash of sparkling water.

4. The oil: Finally, incorporate the oil into the batter. This will help achieve a crispy and delicious texture.

5. Let the batter rest: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the batter rest for 30 minutes. This will allow the ingredients to blend and develop flavors.

6. Heat the Doubletta: Place the Doubletta over medium heat without adding oil, as you have already included oil in the batter. Wait until it is well heated.

7. Bake the pancakes: Use a ladle to pour the batter into the Doubletta, making sure to form an even layer. When the edges of the pancake start to lift and the surface becomes matte, it is time to flip the pancake with a spatula.

8. Fill and serve: After you have finished baking all the pancakes, fill each pancake with your favorite jam. You can roll them up or fold them in half, depending on your preference. A creative idea would be to serve them with a little whipped cream on top or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an extra freshness.

Serving suggestions: These pancakes are wonderful alongside a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. You can also add some fresh fruits to complete the meal. Additionally, if you enjoy unusual combinations, try serving them with chocolate sauce or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use milk instead of sparkling water?: Yes, but the taste and texture will be different. Sparkling water brings a slight effervescence that enhances the texture of the pancakes.
2. How do I store pancakes?: If there are leftover pancakes, you can store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. I recommend reheating them in a pan to regain their crispiness.
3. What else can I use for filling?: Instead of jam, you can try sweetened cottage cheese, melted chocolate, or even a savory filling, such as feta cheese with dill.

Nutritional benefits: Pancakes are a good source of energy due to the carbohydrates in flour, while eggs provide essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Adding fruit jam will give you antioxidants and vitamins, especially if you choose fresh fruit jams.

Personalized version: If you want to give a twist to classic pancakes, you can add a few drops of orange or lemon essence to the batter before letting it rest to achieve a fresh flavor.
