How to make perfect pancakes: a proven life hack with sparkling water

Everyone loves pancakes. Some people prefer thin lace pancakes, while others like pancakes.

Today we're going to talk about pancakes, which are thick pancakes that are most often served with maple syrup. The recipe is well known to everyone and is not complicated at all. However, there is one secret ingredient that will make pancakes simply irresistible. Chris Sanders, a hydration expert at Radnor Infusions, told Tyla what it is.

We're talking about regular sparkling water. It's the ingredient that will take your pancakes to the next level, and it's incredibly easy to incorporate into your favorite recipe. Adding just five tablespoons of sparkling water to the batter for one serving of four pancakes will give them a new lease on life.

The bubbles in the sparkling water fill the batter, expanding during cooking to make the pancakes soft. The flavor of the dish will also become lighter and more intense. Carbonated water retains its properties for a long time, so when it comes into contact with heat, small bubbles form. Thus, the dough is naturally aerated.
