Can You Make Doughnuts With One Hand? | Sorted Food

[@MiguelGarayStarty]

Ok, I'm peruvian and let me say: congratulations Ben. You're a amazing chef. Those are very immpresive picarones right here.

[@smrastorne]

Typically, you'd flavor the syrup with fig leaves, or some people throw in even some figs, orange peel, cinnamon, cloves and sometimes anise. Also, as for the sugar, traditionally, chancaca (aka panela) is used, but it's just slightly less processed brown sugar. Other than that, it's pretty much spot on for one of our dishes, thanks for spreading our cooking guys, greetings from Peru!

[@alonso1288]

Feedback from a Peruvian: The recipe is correct, the technique for the frying is also on the point. However, for the syrup... you don't use the juice of orange and lime, you boil the peel of an orange, fig and pineapple plus the sugar and others. Loved the video, thanks for letting everyone know the wonders of Peruvian food.

[@gabrielleomalley8217]

I love this. My best friend is Peruvian and her grandmother would make these one a week as a snack. We loved them. I will have to show her this video and see what she thinks!!!! Awesome recipe guys!!

[@SortedFood]

Be sure to let us know what she says

[@manonvanvliet1956]

I think Mike deserves a brownie point for doing it with one hand👏

[@nataliavillavisencio1707]

Hello! I am from Perú and these Picarones look just like the real thing!!! Please do more typical peruvian food like: causa, papa a la huancaina, ceviche, lomo saltado, etc... i'd love for everyone to know more about our delicious cuisine and also see what your take on peruvian must-have food!

[@indiumsodium]

BARRY'S ???? HAIR ???? is he part of a new british boyband or did i miss something

[@everygenreofmusic7414]

diannaliamzon It looks good!!!!

[@LiquidDIO]

I was gonna say 80's pop singer. Lookin' like a tiny George Michael.

[@Annie1962]

His hair looks better with a little length. It's really short now. I prefer it a little longer, softens his face

[@rafaelmc90]

Im so happy you guys are making a peruvian episode, im peruvian and i love my home country food! this is why im following you since the last 2 years, thank you so much for this!

[@SortedFood]

Excellent to hear. What did you think of the Picarones recipe?

[@rafaelmc90]

it was pretty good! although the best way to eat it is to squish a bit the picaron on the chancaca syrup so it gets as much syrup as possible

[@rose_1238]

I'm Peruvian I loved this video!! Please make more Peruvian dishes love you guys!

[@aliciaquispecullen8371]

I'm from Perú and picarones are so difficult to make. my family once made it with only sweet portato and it takes a lot of time to get the dough (by hand). Ben is right, as a street food they use one hand for dough and one to serve. You should try others recipes.

[@gab.lab.martins]

Tip: put the batter into a piping bag, chill it thoroughly, pipe circles onto parchment paper, thoroughly freeze those circles, then fry them in not-so-hot oil. Like, 10 or 20C less than what you did with these, so the outside doesn't burn before the inside is defrosted and cooked. Not authentic at all, but it'll make the whole process so much easier.

[@Missing58]

Thank you that is what I thought. About the piping bag. I didn't think about the freezing but that should work and will make an excellent doughnut.

[@abouttime837]

that sounds great for less hassle at home but it wouldn't be that street food-y

[@cmendoza1094]

Don't they make single handed batter dispensers ? That make rings.

[@lukef3792]

I was thinking the exact same thing! You know, especially with the piping bag.

[@rchhcsupernova]

Peruvian here, So happy to see you try making peruvian food. It is tricky indeed, specially picarones.

[@sashaw4903]

Mike just proving he isn't the weakest cook, I'm still salty

[@SortedFood]

He has a lot to prove after the 'weakest link' comment

[@BadriKid]

Idk which is the pun here... Proving? (Doughnuts 🙄🤣😂🍩) Or Salty?(Salted Baked Chicken🍗 from last week from Jamie) [{Edit}Or probably no pun at all and I'm just stretching it...]

[@sashaw4903]

Muhammad Badri haha it wasn't my intention but I'm now proud of myself for that

[@ninipookie]

he was never the weakest though :D

[@Dceb241]

sasha w he was the only one who made the donut(besids ben). As u said: just proving he ain't the lesser cook but the best one.

[@adolfobriceno1635]

Awesome. Kudos for all. Cheers from Peru

[@stephaniemarshall-white5359]

I love how you are bringing in personal experience travels, great job Ben!

[@LindaGina]

I'm currently living en Perú, I've lived in Perú most of my live. I have no Idea how the batter is made,but the result seem very acuarete to Picarones. And i also call any ring-shape sweet food a Donut

[@ketodiana]

This is VERY similar to our Sweet potato puff balls. The only differences is we actually press the balls in oil and let it become nice and crispy, and it is almost nothing in the middle but chewy on the same time, try search "地瓜球" on google!

[@DrKlebsiella]

The recipe is right! I'm peruvian and we LOVE picarones

[@SomeOtherSon]

Mike deserved a brownie point for that one handed doughnut!!

[@mickeymartinez7323]

I make doughnuts for Krispy Kreme lol I saw the title and instantly replied "yes, I can do it in my sleep as well." out loud....my mother is so proud.

[@TheDoctorWhoGuide]

Hi Sorted! You've probably had this mentioned in the comments of this video but you don't appear to have any mobile end screen elements at the end of your video. You might just not have imported the template from your last video. Sorry if you've heard this before, but I thought I'd let you know! Love your videos! Keep up the amazing and inspiring work!

[@elenita9328]

I am from Peru and I'm so happy for this week! I'd love if you guys also included the syrup recipe since here sometimes is made w the leaves of figs and it gives a completely different taste to this dessert. :)

[@zenviel]

Doughnuts with one hand so you can "jerk it" (totally innocent, I meant it as in poking holes) with the other one!

[@colinslade2861]

Zenvielix best comment ever that only fans of sorted food will get.

[@hannahdancy4508]

When I went to primary school with Ben, he always tried to jerk the pencils. We would try to cuff each other and he kept breaking us and ruined our satanic rituals. That was the first time the teacher whipped him

[@zenviel]

I heard Tyrone has started acting the same. You know what they say, like father like son! I just wish Ben would be more considerate when it comes to a few things. I visited him the other day and he didn't even bother hiding all of his bondage kink toys..

[@BeccaMoses]

thats a non-sequiter

[@lukef3792]

A sticky mess, but turns out well

[@christian17li]

I'm from Perú and its mixed with your hands, you have to hit it while doing it to activate the lifting process and then wait some hours till the mix doubles it size.

[@Sheuto]

Try Polish "pączek"! (plural "pączki") I think they used to have a hole, but modern pączki are round and always have a filling. (Usually filled with jam, I think the most unique and iconic is rose petal jam, but can use strawberry or vanilla cream etc.) They are served sprinkled with powdered sugar or glaze and orange zest. They are usually eaten for Fat Thursday (holiday when it's okay to eat sweet and unhealthy food!) along with angel wings (deep fried, crispy, flat pieces of dough that easily fall apart when touched, also very good to try)

[@sadiyashaikh399]

The method of preparation is similar to Nepal's Selroti. Though Selroti made out of fermented rice, banana, sugar and butter

[@shreyabarsaiyan4823]

to shape them easily, take a bowl cover with muslin cloth and hold it tight from the bottom, it will kind of be like a drum. now brush some water over the hollow part on the cloth piece and then spread the batter like a pancake with hands and make the hole... now slide it off onto oil :) not sure I described it right. We(Indian-> Bundelkhand region people) make something similar, its called Bara, my mum does it too well. I will post a picture next time she makes them with help of a bowl and muslin cloth. Or you can pipe these like JALEBI's!

[@valliarlette6596]

Thanks for the demo. I'll head to Peru if I want to try them myself....

[@fleurpomponne9905]

Baz's hair is just amazing, very new and different, love you all boys

[@juliat.9880]

Hi guys, my mom make the dough without the egg, and for the syrup she add panela, apple, quince, fig, pineapple peel, fig leaf, cinnamon stick, clove, sugar and water.

[@Yasakami]

How come I never knew Ben was here!!? DANG IT! Actually they're not doughnuts. As Ben said, they're picarones, just that. They're made with smashed sweet potatoes and also some kind of pumpkin (zapallo) and served with fig syrup. They're delicious ^^

[@vaniacc99]

I was cringing at the ingredients like "how northern hemisphere these ingredients are" until Mike and Ben started talking about the accuracy of the recipe lol The picarones are even better if you eat them on a rainy day ✌🏼

[@joycetam3947]

Everyone is commenting on Barry's hair but I think it is so artsy and actually suits him

[@niseplank4527]

It was glorious and I miss it.

[@sebastiangrahamchavez8412]

You nailed it guys! Can't wait to see what other thing you got in store, saludos desde Lima!

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

0:12 ok the fact that y'all have the 11th doctor, Will from the Inbetweeners AND Schrotty from Traumschiff Surprise as pictures of Ben just made my day

[@teriebella3614]

Doughnut lovers ain't doughnut lovers till you have had Sfinci... (Sicilian Street food at its peak) come on guys I don't see enough Sicilian food on cooking shows... mainland, shmainland. Be my heroes and make a little Essex girl happy! x

[@andrea_horna]

Hey guys! I'm from Perú. The syrup is made with "chancaca" (panela) and the secret ingredient: fig leaf ;)

[@AllTheArtsy]

Barry's new hair style with those curls is KILLING ME ughhh yaaas

[@oldasyouromens]

You should make loukoumades. They're kind of like this, crispy on the outside and airy in the middle once fried and covered with honey syrup, only I don't think they have potato and are made into balls ("holes") instead of rings. They're soooo good and I only get them once a year when the church by my house has a fundraiser.

[@Nebbyboy]

Donuts , ah I won't click on this video I'm staying healthy .. "With one hand" .... *with recently sprained wrist* ITS A SIGN

[@shirldayneee]

you guys don't know how much i love your channel. ALL OF YOU ARE AMAZIING even the guys behind the camera :*

[@sabinemoss3795]

Love the recipe! Barry's hair evolution is hella entertaining too

[@imannurhanise6714]

lol Malaysia has something similar to this, but wayyyy easier to make. it's called kuih keria and it's delishhhh

[@AishahJaffar]

We have sweet potato doughnuts in Malaysia, called 'kuih keria'.

[@radsical1392]

I suddenly have faith in Ben's capabilities as a lover. Good for you Ben!

[@apmtc4159]

If Ben likes that much peruvian food he should check out the food festival called Mistura.

[@BorisAriay]

Mike's face in the background is hilarious. Just staring at the camera. 😂

[@letterheadloyalty]

You guys are the best. Now if only I could get over my fear of frying! After one big splash of a burn up my arm I'm still a little hesitant.

[@aprildevies4031]

Peruvian ceviche!!! Best I've ever had.

[@gaiaang8112]

AHHHHH NEW EPISODE FOR A NEW DAY

[@Cipher8721]

Peru food is the best!

[@lunavee23]

"The water isn't too hot so it won't kill the yeast" Ben has officially lost the right to have the super geek song as his theme tune 😆😂😂

[@1Dahcmp]

When my mom makes the syrup she uses fig leaves and a sweetener called chancaca and it gives it a much different taste to other syrups

[@SammiFXS]

That little collage of "Ben" 😭😂

[@tabaratalib9792]

Barry, your shirt is AWESONE

[@Lenaxiss]

I think, you should rename the video, because I thought these were doughnuts, and I skipped it. But On facebook I saw these were "some peruvians treats" so I decided to "give it a watch". Moreover it will be very informative for people who would look on youtube or elsewhere for the recipe of "picarones". "Peruvians picarones - Can you make doughnuts with one hand?" (do as you want though)

[@antonellarodriguez2980]

the syrup is made with chancaca & figs leaves and the dough is missing the anis that show tru the ring ! Peruvian viewer here!

[@taubergine1719]

What about a normal vs cook challenge? Mike, Barry or Jamie choose a dish (beeing able to research at home etc.) and ben or james have to make up a recipe on the spot (Beeing provided with various ingredients). The better/ more accurate meal wins

[@andreapadilla4853]

You HAVE to make papa rellena and anticuchos ( with the corn leafs and the traditional method , and the outfit 😂)

[@aljr357]

They look really good

[@mrjafroman17]

cool video guys any chance you can use an air fryer i have one and i find it hard to make sweet stuff in it i tried doughnuts but personally i think the batter was wrong , keep up the great work guys.

[@superemillita2710]

Yay I loved picarones when I went to Peru! They are like nothing I've ever had ❤️

[@jimjimcherie]

I just found your channel and I love how you dedicated a week to my country 💜💜💜 Lit my favourite thing about my country is the food. 😂 I don't like picarones all that much, but my dad loves them. I prefer "mazamorra morada" and "arroz con leche" (you should try making those!). You should try "papa a la Huancaína" too. Your channel is great.

[@victorroa4921]

Love the show. For the syrup you forgot Figo leaves :). They are very aromatic, and imprint a very distinctive flavor. Although, they are very hard to find. So as a Peruvian, I'm fine with your syrup version. Keep the great work!.

[@SortedFood]

Amazing to know. We'll try and source some for next time. Thanks Victor.

[@MS-nf9iu]

Reminds me of gulab jamun which is soaked Ima syrup but gulab jamuns syrup is different

[@chioben]

The dough looks fine, there must be thousand of recipes anyway. But the syrup should be made of cane sugar, chancaca as we call it, or panela more commonly known in the rest of Latin America....

[@zackau9807]

I'm guessing "techers" means technical abilities?... I love British people

[@harrypotter2006]

Mike’s so adorable haha

[@faizanali-khan671]

Can we just talk about how great Barry's hair is

[@HalocraZze]

Oh dear...Matt Smith in a Sorted video. I might just die happily in my sleep.

[@Mattslayba]

They better make lomo saltado...

[@heartbeatzgirl4075]

I rather enjoy looking at and listening to Ben *blush*

[@ignacia1997]

Here in Chile we have something similar called Zopaipillas.

[@chocolatedaisy82]

I'm just gonna call him one handed mike.

[@devangeill]

you know what, we have that in Malaysia as well

[@lis4856]

Great, now I can’t see Ben without thinking about Will from Inbetweeners

[@ScottishWolfLass]

I've been to Peru 😅. But never went on about it as much as Ben 😂

[@suggamama386]

add fresh fig leaves to the syrup while boiling

[@KTRN52]

Who is this hot version of Barry and when did he start making regular appearances?

[@morningcoffee3121]

I guess you can say they use BOTH hands for the *Dough*

[@thatbritchick9695]

I was fully expecting Mike to lambast Ben about the use of the word "techers" instead of "technique" hahaha

[@JavierAlmonacid25]

Jamie is hilarious!

[@pdaniels6606]

I love how people are just now waking up to Barry's beauty because of the new hair. (I've always loved you Baz)

[@RaeBell01]

@SORTEDfood Could just use a piping bag with the batter and pipe it straight into the oil?

[@megs3147]

Did Ebbers ever get the techers? Or was it just Mike?

[@fakeidonthaveahandle]

Idk what filter is being used or got removed, but Jamie is looking better than those doughnuts. Damn😍🔥

[@ariannos123]

Peruvian Captain here: you only need to add a fig tree leaf to the honey! Gives amazing flavour. It is hard to get

[@bcbock]

Holy… I stop watching for a few months and I come back and they’ve replaced Barry’s head with… spaghetti squash is it? Did his wife just graduate cosmetology school or something? All kidding aside, I can’t wait to try those Peruvian donuts. They look fun to make.

[@TheKernowKids]

what did you learn in this video? "that mike is good with one hand." 😏

[@nourah2931]

now put your hands in the oil 😂😂😂 mike's first attempt tho !!!!!

[@lilalebarzic6280]

i miss the Jamie's "did you know" haha

[@EmilyJelassi]

looks yummy! will definitely give these a go. i wonder if i can make them gluten-free...well, i'll try it both ways :D

[@ShimmyShimmyK8]

My friend just went to Peru in July for her 30th bday. She had a great time

[@axer112]

So, after watching some videos, I was reminded... Hey Ben, how's Tyrone been doing?

[@dracarys666]

i'm sorry... i can't hear a thing you are saying. I've been mesmerized by Barry's hair...

[@StephenJ95]

I wonder what other talents Mike has with his hands? 🤔😉

[@rosam.1488]

PI-CA-RO-NES siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. The syrup is not made of brown sugar but of chancaca ... less refinated sugar, and it needs fig leaves, orange peel, and cloves. By the way , we don't blend it in that way but we have to ... have to do it with our hands because it is the only way to get the exact texture later to be fried. And even the way we shake it with the hand is ... gez my arm hurts whenever I make this recipe, and usually we add some anise in the flour and a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar. One more clue... we never use white sugar in Peruvian recipies unless we use it to decorate... powdered white sugar. Y el proceso de la levadura es diferente, es un tipo de levadura y también es un secreto para que salga correctamente. Secreto de familia. I have been helping my momo since I was 8 and now I have to do it by myself.

[@donkosaurus]

can these be baked instead of fried?

[@sogeking3976]

Will McKenzie Hype!!!

[@ning7124]

i like how 8/10 comments are about Barry's hair even though this is a food channel :')
