What is a simple thing that you should be able to cook but find impossible to do? For me it’s caramel.

I still struggle with omelets, most of the time they are scrambled eggs with toppings. Wife likes those nicely folded and good looking omelets, I just want to eat it

Do you use baking soda(instead of salt)? It makes them fluffier and thicker, which makes them easier to flip/fold

Rice. It is simultaneously mushy and crunchy, even using a rice cooker. Good thing I don't like rice.

I can't for the life of me bake anything. I can cook really, really well but as soon as I have to combine sugar, flour, eggs and butter it will end up in an unreversible chaos and probably will be inedible

Homemade biscuits. Anything bread really. But, those giant cathead biscuits my grandmother use to make allude me. I would love to whip up a fresh batch in the early mornings during winter to greet my family. Instead of big, fluffy pillows of yummy bread, I create medium size, hard hockey pucks!

If your biscuits are hard, you've played with the dough too much. Don't fold the dough, don't knead the dough, don't stretch the dough.

An over easy egg. I've worked in almost every position in restaurants, and when I was training as a 2nd cook, they was the one thing that took me the longest to master.

Folding something with beaten egg whites. I generally overdo it which causes me to under do it the next time. I gave up years ago.
