This is the first time making Chiles Rellenos.Sad to say I was very disappointed.On step #9 when you mix the dry ingredients with the gee yolks it turns into a thick paste.I think you need at least 4-5 more egg yolks.The stiff egg whites did not stick to the peppers, it slid off as soon as it hit the hot oil.Sorry for the review it was my first time making them, I will try another one someday.
