In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sparkling water, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, thin batter. Stir in the vegetable oil.
Let the batter rest for about 15–20 minutes.
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small ladleful of batter and quickly tilt the pan to spread it into a very thin circle.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until the edges begin to loosen and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for another 30–60 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Spread your favorite filling over each pancake, then roll or fold and serve.
