Project Mille Crepe – Step 5 of N

This is attempt #2!

I managed to find some time after work yesterday to prepare the crepes batter and vanilla pastry cream. There is probably nothing much to improve on the crepes batter. I was yawning non-stop while mixing the eggs, flour, sugar and salt. The challenging part this time was to ensure that the vanilla pastry cream would taste and look like vanilla pastry cream. When I was almost done with the pastry cream, I was quite excited as I could smell vanilla (duh!). I mean, I could sense that I am going to make it this time!

I was supposed to fry the crepes today but I had to stay back after work. Pei Yee agreed to help me, yay! I didn't want to leave the crepes batter and pastry cream overnight for another day. I told her that we should use the wok this time, instead of our good-old-sticky-pan. As soon as I got home after badminton, I rushed to the refrigerator to have a look at the finished result.

Tadaa!

Vanilla Mille Crepe

Thanks to my crafty sister, the crepes are not out-of-shape now but I think it's still a little thick. I was the first to taste the cake and hmmmm... I would rate my vanilla mille crepe at 5/10 this time, hehe. Should I make another Chocolate one next? Or should I wait till next Thursday to make two final vanilla mille crepe cakes? Hehe. I'll sleep on it tonight.

Good night, folks!
