Just because everything has to be near perfect, I would say a truly good cheese souffle.

For me it's Beef Wellington. I have to work real hard on the puff pastry and sometime have to make 2 or even 3 batches to get it right. Where I live there are no truffles so I have to buy them over the web and hope they're decent. The time spent dicing mushrooms and all, that's okay, the cost is fine since I only make it once every 2 years or so, but getting the final product out -- bugger!!

Oh goodness, believe it or not, I have so much trouble making pancakes. I can never seem to get the batter a right consistency then I can't ever seem to flip them so they are at least somewhat round. I always burn one side while the not cooking the inside all the way, especially if I add blueberries. They are so good though, but I always suffer through making them!

Polenta requires way too much stirring (I refer to it as the angry whisk)
Homemade butter cream frosting has a huge tendency to "break"
Anything with a sauce that requires many ingredients and a lot of time to reduce
And don't get me started about Risotto.....

Strudel. You are supposed to roll the dough so thin you can read a newspaper through it. If you don't get it exactly right, it tears.

Preparing fugu (that's puffer fish). You really have to know what you're doing otherwise someone dies. It took me a few tries to get it right.

Believe it or not,,,it's a plain egg omelet; no joke. You have to be able to make one to pass culinary school.
