Can I use whole wheat flour instead of regular flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour. It may make the hotcakes denser, so you might need to adjust the amount of water.

Can I freeze these hotcakes?
Absolutely! Let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container. They can last up to two months in the freezer.
