My secret recipe for fluffy pancakes

My mother had this secret ingredient which she added to pancakes to make them fluffy. She passed this recipe on to me and I am going to share it with you. Everytime I add this ingredient and in my pancakes people think I'm crazy! however it makes perfect sense.

My pancake mixture is a pretty basic combination of flour, 1 egg, milk and I sometimes like to add some vanilla powdered sugar or extract. While mixing in all these ingredients, I like to add the secret ingredient.... SPARKLING WATER! Yes, thats right! the moment you add this you will notice your mixture bubbling up to an airy consistency, which will create the fluffiest pancakes! I like to make my mixture a little on the thick side, so when I add the sparkling water, I don't need to go back and add more flour as this will get rid of all those perfect air bubbles in the mixture.

Here are a few photos of my fluffy pancakes, paired with some delicious lemon juice and sugar. To make the heart shape, I used a heart shaped egg mould which doesn't stick and is perfect to make these cute little heart pancakes.
