To a bowl add one egg and sugar.

Whisk the egg and sugar together until well incorporated.

Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt.

Gradually add in water while whisking until you achieve a liquidy consistency.

Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 1 to 2 hours to develop gluten.

Prepare a mixture of 1 teaspoon of baking soda and about a tablespoon of water, then stir this into the batter.

Heat a 10-inch heavy bottom non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Splash some water in the pan to check if it's hot enough; it should evaporate easily.

Pour the batter into the pan, swirling it to form a crust.

Cook for about 5 minutes until lots of bubbles form on the surface.

Lower the heat and sprinkle sugar all over the pancake to help create holes.

Cover the pan with a lid and let it steam until the surface is completely cooked and dry.

Gently slide the pancake out using a flat spatula.

Slather the pancake with butter to melt into the holes.

Cut the pancake in half and add toppings of shredded cheddar cheese and Nutella.

Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.

Sandwich the two halves together and slice into pieces.
