The last time I made this, I was running low on white flour, so I substituted in 2 cups of whole wheat flour along with 1 1/3 cup white flour. They tasted a little different. I noticed a little more of a grainy texture to them, but the definitely held their shape better while baking--they were nice and thick and still super moist.
Also, I heat the Tbsp of water in the microwave for 30 seconds (until it is steaming). I have tried using hot water straight from the tap, but it doesn't seem to work as well.
Enjoy!
