Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. This helps prevent lumps and ensures a smooth batter.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and sparkling water, and whisk until smooth.
3
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Stir it into the egg mixture to distribute it evenly.
4
Add the wasabi paste (10g) and mix thoroughly to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly with a whisk to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
6
Lightly grease a skillet with oil and heat over medium heat.
7
Pour a small ladle of batter onto the skillet, spreading it in a circular motion. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges set and bubbles appear on the surface.
8
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute, until golden brown.
9
Repeat the process until all the batter is used. If necessary, re-grease the skillet with a little oil from time to time.
10
Serve the wasabi pancakes with fresh greens, cream cheese, or soy sauce for an exciting flavor experience.
