Cooking tips 💡

• Using ice in the batter suppresses gluten formation in flour, resulting in a much crispier texture.
• Gently swirling the pan during frying ensures oil spreads evenly under the pancake, promoting uniform crispiness.
• The breadcrumbs applied just before flipping are cooked like fried crumbs, delivering an intense, ultra-crisp mouthfeel.
