Did You Know?
Puffs made of whole-wheat flour instead of white flour are also an example of a thin batter that is made light by aeration.

If desired, graham flour may be substituted for the whole-wheat flour, but if it is a coarser bread will be the result.

This coarseness, however, does not refer to the texture of the bread, but is due to the quantity of bran in graham flour. Whole-wheat puffs are attractive, and besides they possess the valuable food substances contained in whole-wheat flour, eggs, and milk.
