Crepes? Jesus, they're one of the easiest things you can cook. Anyway, to answer your question: croissants! I've made them from scratch before and it definitely wasn't worth it. Took half a day and weren't a patch on the real thing

Even I can make crepes lol. Have one of those small pans. Make the batter, open the butter, get cracking.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Let the batter sit for 30 mins in the fridge

I have a mental block against making things one by one that have like 20 calories in them.

Brain says small things bad unless can make a million at a time.

And yeah screw making those things from scratch.

A crepe is like 100 calories and you can pour like 5 in less than 10 minutes. But anyway, to reach their own. personally I hate chopping stuff even if it takes 1 minute.

yeah it is annoying when using a small pan/stove as opposed to a giant griddle where one crepe is actually a lot

I was surprised by this too! I mean I can understand thinking that crepes will be hard because they’re pretty dainty and might be delicate, but they’re surprisingly easy to do.
