Really tasty! However instructions say 1/2 in thick. Mine crumbled at that thickness. Looking at your pics…they are barely broken. That’s what I will do next time. So delicious.

Steve, unless you are a brand new cook without a clue, you could have figured all these things out for yourself and not felt so obviously frustrated. After you smashed your first one to 1/2 inch per instructions and realized it wasn’t working for you, why would you continue? At that point the intelligent, common sense thing to do is to smash the rest to size that makes YOU happy.
If you knew, or suspected ahead of time, that a ridged pan was going to be the better choice, why didn’t you use one? Again, common sense can prevail if we just let it.
As for “serving them right away”, that is a no-brainer. If you have a large batch, then I think even the most feeble-minded among us would know that you keep the first ones warm while you finish the rest and serve them all together.
I get the feeling from your post that you just wanted to complain instead if figuring out these things and doing them and chalking it up to being a seasoned cook and someone who can figure things out and move forward.
All recipes are starting points. Most of us tweak to meet our particular style and tastes. That’s all you had to do and your dish would have turned out delicious and you wouldn’t have brought your cranky self here to make an unnecessary fuss. Maybe there’s a lesson in this for you for future recipes you try…
