Default Crepe Recipe Ingredients

Dear Friends:

My friend, (a fellow chef), and I were discussing crepe ingredients the other day.

I discovered that we use the exact same recipe with one exception:

In his recipe he uses whole eggs while I use only egg yolks.

I was wondering what you guys thought about whole eggs vs. egg yolks. What are the pros & cons? Is one better than the other or is there no big difference?

Mark

The recipe using all yolks would yield a more delicate crepe because of the omission of whites.

...and the one with the whole eggs would be more flexible, and less rich.
