  1. I followed the recipe 1:1, but the result didn’t look nor behave like batter. Nevertheless, I tired making pancakes of it and I arrived at browned crumbs. There’s something utterly wrong with this recipe! Need a lot more liquid and something to hold the pancakes together. I added wholewheat flour and a lot more water to be able to form something like a pancake/ crêpe.
