Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned fruit?
Yes, fresh fruit can be used instead of canned. Just chop it into small pieces and consider adding a bit of juice to enhance the flavor. Keep in mind that fresh fruit may not provide the same sweetness as canned varieties, so adjust your other ingredients accordingly.
How can I make the flapjacks fluffier?
To achieve fluffier flapjacks, try adding an extra tablespoon of baking powder to the pancake mix or letting the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This allows the ingredients to blend well and creates air bubbles that result in a lighter texture.
