When we make them here we grind fresh whole wheat, wayyyy better than white flour
Very interesting to see other people make them, but nothing Ive tasted comes close to my mom’s secret recipe she spent a long time experimenting with to make literal perfection.
Both of these pancakes perfectly demonstrate why I prefer waffles 😅
The ring thing was a bad idea. Normally you turn the pancakes when all the bubbles break across the top. If you are not getting bubbles on top of your pancake, your batter is nor right start again.
I've never put butter in the batter, seems like cheating. Also pancakes should be the size of a pie plate
Never butter or grease your pan
Appreciated the technical analysis on the egg white breakdown.
as an american this is not what we do in our house in a blender just flour milk water eggs sugar and we use self rising flour blend it a bit then pour it right in the pan bam pancakes this is the way we always made it and added butter to them after they cooked
Tip: For pancakes, add the dry to the wet, not the usual reverse.
Whipped egg whites? The are pancakes, not waffles.
Emulsify the eggs, sugar and oil, mix the dry ingredients well, use buttermilk and baking powder and bicarb. Flour doesn't matter, take hydration in mind. should be runny not be firm. Promise best pancakes ever
My pancakes come in a box and I just add water. Dump it in a waffle maker until the light turns green then drown it in butter and maple syrup.
"…. a nice simple classic serving would be nice. We have given you some citrus, some rhubarb…" facepalm
Sorry, but I like my pancakes dense, dry, and chewy. With just a heavy blob of butter on top. No syrup, fruit, sugar, or anything else. Of course, I like my oatmeal thick enough to double as brick mortar, so take all that with a grain of salt.
Y'all should not be allowed to make pancakes Jesus Christ
Those are not American pancakes.
My favourite pancake recipe… is waffles.
Am I the only one here that prefers thinner pancakes?!?! I add more milk to the batter than normal to make them thinner. Btw, for Anyone interested here's the classic American Betty crocker pancake recipe: 1 cup flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk (I prefer a little over 1 cup of milk for thinner pancakes), 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Start by beating the 1 egg in a bowl and add the rest of the liquids. Add the dry ingredients. I prefer to slowly add the dry ingredients through a sifter or fine mesh strainer, then afterwards pour the batter through the strainer to make sure I have no lumps of flour and have a really smooth batter. I spread just a little bit of butter on the skillet at the start and not anymore after that. That's all you need so that the pancakes don't stick.
I was unsubed somehow.
Honestly these are baby pancakes. An american pancake should fill the plate and you should have at least 3 or 4. There is a reason why we are so fat.
Dutch pancakes all the way
"American" pancakes are typically the ones Baz made. That said Hwaii is known for souffle pancakes, which is apart of the USA so Jamie's work too. They are less souffle and more whipped. I grew up with the flatter ones but make souffle pancake more often. I'm a foodie and also highly enjoy cooking.
Norwegian pancakes:
3 dl flour
0,5 ts salt
4 eggs
6 dl milk
2 tbls melted butter
Combine all the dry ingrediences in a bowl. Lightly wisk together milk, eggs and butter in a large jug. mix the wets into the dryes and fry in a medium size pan with some butter. One pancake should cover the hole pan. And yes, they are supose to be that flat 🙂
I would say most Americans use a pancake griddle which is a plug in device and has more consistent heating and larger surface area
Barry’s pancakes are the better ones. Add sour cream to the batter to make it better.
They both have the same ingredients "available", but the various pancakes are not "using" identical ingredients.
kinda wanna try jamie's pan-cooked cakes.
My go-to recipe is probably not at all what people would expect and is completely homebrew… It's 100g of silken tofu + 1 egg + a tiny bit of vinegar, mixed until smooth. Then I add 30g of flour with half a teaspoon of baking powder (or self-raising flour – I never have that at home). I use the same batter for waffles as well, that's how I invented it. 😉 I have it with fresh fruit and sometimes a drizzle of golden syrup.
I like either a spoonful of peanut butter or banana puree in my pancake batter. Of course eat while still warm or hot. Berry syrup with the peanut butter pancake or nut syrup with the banana one.
I love this channel. New here but I wanted to know how to cook pancakes and found this lol
My favourite recipe for pancakes is one I found in a cookbook years ago. They’re called, “Little Swiss Pancakes”.
125g self raising flour
¼ tsp bicarbonate soda
¼ tsp cream of tartar
1 Tbs caster sugar
1 large egg
150mL milk
butter/oil, for frying
Sift all the dry together, then add in the egg and milk.
I eat them with butter and maple syrup! Yum!
we always had a container of home-made biscuit mix in the cupboard… good for american biscuits (scones?) or pancakes, or dumplings, or…
Bazzzzzz❤❤❤❤
Lemon ricotta pancakes with lemon curd. You add beaten egg whites to the batter which provides beautiful fluffy pancakes.
Instead of sugar add golden syrup or twrikle
Please tell your viewers to NOT over mix the fluffy pancakes (American style), the batter should not be smooth, you should mix until the flour is just mixed in and stop. Lumps and bumps in the batter will cook out. I am a Home Economics teacher and just shake my head every time I watch the guys mix their pancakes on your show until the batter is smooth. My pancakes are twice as fluffy, and I don't whip the egg whites. Don't be an over mixer! And for heaven’s sake, get a Danish whisk, it makes mixing so much more efficient without over mixing your quick breads! I will even post you the recipe I use in class for the kids if you want.
Barry's are a lot like "Оладушки". Small, random shape, but thicker then crepes.
As a kid in home economics, I didn't know you were supposed cooked them in batches and poured the entire jug of batter into one pan. Took more than 30 minutes to cook through and tasted like donuts. I was 11. It looked like a big version of Jamies 😀
Buttermilk pancakes are an American classics.
Could the chefs give a demonstration on how to make the perfect pancakes, please?
My go to recipe is Bisquick. 😂
No vanilla?
I just need to know that recipe Jamie used for the syrup
Where's the bacon?
Lol 2 is short stack , 3 or more is stack.
Best pancakes are from Matty Matheson. You could invite him but you may have to bleep the whole episode
