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 2 points 11 months ago

Let the batter sit for 30 mins in the fridge

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Included in "make the batter" but yep, important step not to be forgotten 👌

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.

Do you means from absolute scratch? Here in the Netherlands it is common to buy a can of pre-made dough for croissants. You have to roll and bake them yourself, and adding some egg is also a great idea. But it is technically not entirely from scratch.

They taste way better than the pre-baked ones that you have to re-heat. Absolutely worth the minimal effort.

[-] june@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

What you describe is not making from scratch at all. Those are premade save the final couple of steps, no different than a frozen pizza from the grocery store. No one gets a frozen pizza and says they made it from scratch.

What do you mean re-heat? Are you heating the ones from the bakery before you eat them? Are they not eaten cold in the Netherlands?
