  • Here's how to make them: stir a pinch of salt and the sugar into the warm water until fully dissolved. Crack in the eggs and mix well, or beat with a hand mixer. Add the flour—you can swap the pancake flour for any good all-purpose flour, and it's even better to use two kinds, such as wheat and buckwheat. Whisk again until there are no lumps. Add a spoonful of vegetable oil and stir. The batter should be on the thin side; if it comes out too thick, loosen it with a little more water. Fry the pancakes until golden on both sides in a hot skillet greased with a little lard or oil. Serve these simple water pancakes with any filling you like, or with none at all. Enjoy!
