Yup! I am hooked on whole wheat pastry flour ever since I saw Ellie Krieger use it in her baking all the time. I stopped buying whole wheat flour after that. I love the way things turn out when I use this flour. As usual, I let 2 banana's turn very yuckly ripe and I decided to use the brown sugar in them to make the appam. I just love using the appam vessel because, it is so simple to work with and does not require a lot of oil. I am constantly thinking of ways to use them constantly.

ReplyDeleteGreetings. I am new to your blog. Enjoyed all the recipes, simply wonderful. Can I use Self raising flour instead of the pastry flour? Thank you in advance. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you can use SRF, but this recipe is mostly prepared with wheat flour. Please give it a try, I am sure it cannot go wrong, the baking soda and powder would only make it puff up a lot more.
