Wholesome Pancake

Thanks to Blue Jacket sent me a box of their premium flour for my baking! Blue Jacket premium flour origin from Taiwan. Their products received many good reviews from many bloggers & bakers. Their flour is well know for their good water absorption & stability to achieve soft & yummy bakes. Blue Jacket flours are close to Japanese flour. We can easily get their flour in Singapore at a more competitive price. Do check out their Facebook page if you are interested.

Today, I am going to use their Whole Wheat flour to make my pancake. Look at their super fine whole wheat flour. Last time, by adding whole wheat flour into my bakes give me the idea that the end product will be hard & heavy BUT after trying it today, it changed my understanding. We can enjoy nice, soft & nutritious pancakes easily at home now. Will I use Blue Jacket whole wheat flour for my future bakes again? It is a YES! I will use it for my bread making especially!
