Mark: Do you have a collection, somewhere, of your suggestions and guides for visitors to Japan? My niece and a friend have vague plans of going there next year or maybe 2023.
Re the t-shirts: what's the mystery, Mark? They say "the Magnet" right on the guy's shirt. And I look forward to mine arriving in heather grey -- thanks!
The recipe came from a Youtube video – which is very entertaining in its own right. The pancake was a little more dense than I expected, but still very good . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BqRSpJCEWo
Fun! Will have to try these soon. They look at least a little similar to Eierkuchen--German egg cakes. All the photos of Eierkuchen I could find online are of depressingly flat pancakes, almost crepe like. Boo. But my mom makes them super light and fluffy, 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Super simple, and delicious. Here's the recipe:
DIRECTIONS: Separate egg whites and yolks. Yolks will go with the flour and milk, so choose appropriately-sized bowls. Mix yolks, flour, milk, and salt. Whip egg whites until stiff and then fold in. Fry in a pan (2 at a time) in butter until golden brown on medium-ish heat so they fully cook. Should be light and fluffy, about a half-inch thick (don't mash them down with the spatula!). Sprinkle with a little sugar and enjoy! Makes 6 or 7.
Thanks for this! I just watched the whole video. It looks like the secret ingredient is egg white powder, and the trick is to bake them in an oven, not fry them in a pan.

That looks amazing! I'll have to try it.
PS I am a proud owner of a gray Magnet t-shirt!!
Thanks for getting one, Steve! I really like the quality of the shirts made by Bonfire

Thank you, Chris - this sounds great!
