The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a leading producer of water-soluble flavourings.
Pancakes delivers fresh-off-the-griddle pancakes: buttery surface, tender crumb and mild vanilla with a subtle maple/caramel nuance—ideal as a breakfast/dessert base with berries, cream and syrup. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol.
