Total preparation time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the pancakes:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla essence
- 250 ml of sparkling water (or milk, as preferred)
- 50 ml of oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 250 g of chopped walnuts

For the Chateau sauce:
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar
- 300 ml of sweet white wine (a quality wine will add extra flavor)

Preparation:

Step 1: Preparing the pancake batter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar and vanilla essence until you achieve a smooth mixture. Gradually add the sparkling water (or milk) and 50 ml of oil, continuing to mix. Gradually fold in the 250 g of chopped walnuts, mixing well to evenly distribute the ingredients. This combination will give the pancakes a crunchy texture and an intense walnut flavor.

Step 2: Baking the pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan and tilt the pan to evenly distribute the batter. Let the pancake bake for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden and the center is firm. Flip the pancake using a spatula and bake the other side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat the process until you finish the batter. You will get about 8 pancakes.

Step 3: Preparing the Chateau sauce
In a heatproof bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the sweet white wine and place the bowl over a bain-marie (a pot of hot water that does not touch the bottom of the bowl). Whisk constantly until the sauce becomes airy and has a consistency similar to cream. This technique will give the sauce a smooth and creamy texture.

Step 4: Assembling and serving
Place two pancakes on each plate. Pour the Chateau sauce over them, ensuring that the pancakes are evenly covered. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added texture and flavor. It is recommended to let the dessert sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend perfectly. These pancakes are served cold, making for a true indulgence.

Practical tips:
- Use a quality sweet white wine for the sauce, as this will significantly influence the final taste. A wine with fruity notes will add extra complexity.
- If you want a healthier option, you can replace the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
- Experiment with different types of nuts (almonds or hazelnuts) to add a personal touch to the recipe.
- Serve the pancakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream for a creamy contrast.

Calories and nutritional benefits:
These pancakes offer a balance of carbohydrates from flour, protein from eggs, and healthy fats from walnuts, making them a good choice for an energizing breakfast or dessert. The walnut meat is rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and vitamins, providing a wide range of health benefits.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I make the pancake batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Make sure to mix well before baking the pancakes.

Cover the pancakes with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Keep them at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
