FAQ
Can I make apricot pancakes in advance?
Yes! You can store them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container. When ready to serve, warm them in a pan or microwave for a few seconds. They can also be frozen by separating them with parchment paper.
Can I omit the sugar?
Yes, of course. If you prefer a less sweet breakfast or want to serve them with honey, maple syrup, or jam, you can safely omit the sugar in the batter.
What type of flour can I use instead of all-purpose?
You can use whole wheat flour or type 1 flour, keeping in mind that the pancakes will be slightly less fluffy. Alternatively, you can do half all-purpose and half oat or spelt flour for a more rustic touch.
