FAQS

Can I skip the baking soda?
Baking soda helps make the batter fluffy, but you can skip it if you prefer denser appe.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
You can substitute mayonnaise with hung curd or cream cheese for a similar creamy texture.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, skip the cheese and mayonnaise or use vegan alternatives to make it vegan-friendly.
How do I store leftover appe?
