Last time I posted a Japanese crepe recipe which I found from youtube. I tried it but it didn’t come out as in my expectation. I didn’t use egg white only but with egg yolk too as I didn’t know how else could I use the yolk but I felt wasting food if I discard it. The recipe didn’t mention whether whole milk should be used or whatever, I use 1% low-fat milk.

The outcome was not really crispy, except the edge. The edge was as crispy as wafer and it broke easily (which resulted in a mess on the countertop), while the main part was soft. I suspect it was because of the egg yolk. Also, I think I could be able to make it crispier if I cooked it longer. Anyhow, the main problem was that there were a lot of holes on the crepe, since it was made with pancake mix. There was air inside the batter, and it bubbled out while being heat and resulted in holes. I think maybe I can press out the air with the crepe scraper, but I have not master the skill in using the scraper that Brian made for me yet.

Holes on the crepe is not a big problem while making savory crepes. However it is not suitable for sweet crepes as the chocolate sauce or the ice ceram will come out of the holes and it is pretty messy.
