Recipe Notes

*You can use all cake, all-purpose or wholewheat flour instead of a blend. If you use all cake flour or all all-purpose flour, the ackee flavour will be more pronounced and you will use less milk. If you use all wholewheat flour the ackee flavour will be muted and you'll have to use more milk.

**You can use whichever sugar/sweetener you like. If you like a less sweet pancake you can reduce the sugar to 1 tbsp if you prefer them to be sweeter you can increase the sugar to 4 tbsps.

†To measure the milk less 1 tablespoon, I usually pour the tablespoon of vinegar into the measuring cup then fill up to the mark needed.
