Gather @all-purpose flour{300%g}, @dry yeast{1%tsp}, @chocolate sprinkle{60%g} and @cheddar cheese{80%g}.

Whisk the flour, @sugar{60%g}, yeast, @egg{2} and enough water into a thick, smooth, pourable batter.

Cover and let it rest in a warm spot until the surface looks slightly bubbly, about 20 minutes. ~{20%minutes}

Stir the @baking soda{0.5%tsp} through the rested batter — this is what pushes the holes wide open once it hits the hot pan.

Heat the skillet with a little @butter{80%g} until hot, pour in the batter, and swirl it partway up the sides so the edge cooks into a lacy crust.

Cover and cook over low heat, without flipping, until the top is full of open holes and just set. ~{8%minutes}

Butter the surface generously while it's still hot, then load with the chocolate sprinkles, grated cheddar and @condensed milk{4%tbsp}.

Fold the pancake in half, press gently, slice thick and serve warm while the fillings are still melting.
