Pancakes

Make the fluffiest pancakes of your life by using sparkling water! When the pancakes are sizzling on the griddle, the bubbles from the water will help it rise, and that means fluff! The same goes for crepes, so go ahead and give it a try!

Vegetables

If you are looking to make some healthy switches, boil your vegetables in sparkling water! This will help them keep their color better than regular water because of the sodium bicarbonate in it.

Cake Batters

The same principle that goes for pancakes and crepes applies for regular cakes! If you have trouble making your cakes light and fluffy, try using sparkling water to give it a better rise. This works especially well for gluten-free cakes since they can sometimes become dense. Just make sure to adjust your salt levels since the sodium bicarbonate does carry salt.
