For the Pancakes:

- A pinch of salt
- 500ml milk
- 250g flour
- About 200ml sparkling water
- Oil for the pan
Additional Ingredients:
- 200g ground walnuts
- 180g sugar

- Butter for greasing
Preparation:
- Lightly whisk eggs and salt. Add milk and whisk again. Sift in the flour and mix until smooth. Optionally, strain the batter for extra fineness.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, then stir in sparkling water. Lightly oil the pan before cooking each pancake.
- Once the pancakes are ready, mix milk with sugar and vanilla sugar, heating just until the sugars dissolve.
- Grease a baking dish the size of the pancakes. Layer a pancake, a tablespoon of walnuts, and repeat until all walnuts are used.
- Carefully cut the layered pancakes into pieces, pour the warm milk over them, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes.
- Once the pancakes absorb most of the milk and are warm, serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
