For me, crepes ain’t worth the stress to make fresh. Just buy a little pack from store and focus on filling is my go to.
I’m with you on this one. It’s one of the few things I refuse to make from scratch on Thanksgiving. I don’t know how or why, but every time I’ve tried to make them from scratch they get fucked up and turn into an inedible mess. I consider myself a decent cook and so does everyone else I’ve ever cooked for, but I cannot make mashed potatoes from scratch.
That was one of the first things I learned how to cook that wasn’t between two pieces of bread.
I’m not a good cook by any means – it just surprises me that mashed potatoes would be one of “those” foods for someone who can actually cook!
It’s probably how you mash them, if you over mash them they get gummy. It’s really easy with a mixer or blender to overdo it.
