FAQs
More commonly, a recipe will translate easier to a half and half flour mixture. Half whole wheat, half all-purpose, and a little extra buttermilk (or milk). If you want to substitute whole wheat flour entirely, you’ll just have to mess around with the proportions of buttermilk because whole wheat will make the batter very thick.
Whole grains, and therefore whole wheat, provide us with energy and fiber. The fiber in whole wheat flour can help reduce cholesterol, but check with your doctor to know if it’s right for you!
