The Great Crepe Debate: part 1


Eiko, Lauren and I tried to make some crepes this weekend and were pretty successful. We used the crepe recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance and decided that we would tinker with the recipe if we used it again (it was for savory crepes... they were a little too garbanzo-y to go with the fruit). Next time we are thinking we will cut out the chickpea flour (substituting rice flour for a little extra elasticity); add some sugar and vanilla (maybe lemon or orange zest for color); and use pastry flour instead of bread flour (here in Japan they only have "strong" and "weak" flours - no all purpose, which is what the recipe called for). We will try again this weekend...
