Pancake Recipe Testing

[@SecureBread]

demerara sugar and lemon juice was the pancake toping of choice when I was a kid

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

Great combo!

[@jb7753]

A fried egg with a runny yolk!!!!! Eat the yolk and pancake in one bite!!!

[@CrimeVid]

granulated sugar and lemon juice on pancakes (and fresh cos lettuce leaves) when I was a kid. But the pancakes we made were not those thick things you are making there that look like scotch pancakes. Ours were more like thicker crepes,with that sort of texture. That's what my (very) English grannies used to call pancakes.

[@wineforthepeople]

@33:52 My goodness! Thank you so much for the shout-out (and for bingeing our stuff!) - for what it's worth - your vids have become the background music to our office now haha! Big loves!

My younger sister had dyslexia. I read her books to her all the to high school. I asked her if she was having problems with math she said no. One day while she was in high school I saw a book of unsolvable theorems on her bed. I asked her if she could solve them she said yes and she found an error in the book. As it turns out my sister was a math savant.

[@loganclark3545]

I just recently finished recipe testing pancakes too. this was my favourite: 1kg flour, 10g salt, 500g sugar, 40g baking powder, 10g baking soda, 8x size 7 eggs whole, 200g melted butter, 200g canola oil, 1200g buttermilk. 1. mix wet together, 2. mix and sieve dry together, 3. make a well in dry and add all of wet, 4. mix until just combine but still slightly lumpy. 5. cook with clarified butter

[@alexandragrace8164]

When I was a primary school teacher I had a student with dyslexia in my very first class. In my first day, several other kids told me (out loud in front of everyone) that this girl wouldn’t ever be able to answer a question or write properly, so not to bother asking her any questions or setting her work. 😢 Naturally the little girl was very embarrassed. By year’s end, this girl had become so much more confident and happy and relaxed in class, regularly answering questions and succeeding in her written work. In my experience, all she needed was patience, kindness, and options for doing things slightly differently in a more dyslexia friendly fashion! ❤

[@LisaF-up5zr]

These videos are my Sunday comfort, love them! Andy, what are some great must need kitchen tools for home cooks, ie good quality knives - which brands etc? Katelyn, as a West Aussie I'm curious to know what your fave wines from over here are? 😀🍷

[@ercedwrds]

That pancake flip at 23:35 is perfection.

[@sing2me]

Favorite pancakes... pecan with large flake coconut. Favorite topping... butter, then peanut butter and maple syrup. We used to stir the syrup into the PB to make a topping.

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

yummm!

[@sing2me]

@@andycooksbackofhouse thank you so much! I ordered PB with my pancakes all the time at a restaurant that I used to frequent, so my server decided to try it for herself... then she started telling everyone about it... I could even hear her at other tables 😆

[@Sifaka1104]

So cool to hear someone mention Mauritius ❤ beautiful place and people if you can visit when you're next travelling! thanks Babe for asking my question in the last video 😀

[@alexandragrace8164]

I’ve been asking Chef Andy to make Mauritian Rougaille, maybe a seafood one, with achard on the main channel!

[@Sifaka1104]

@@alexandragrace8164 yum! I would love for him to make dholl puri as well ❤️

[@BarraCartel]

Crispy bacon with maple syrup whipped butter. Stunning!

[@roberthughes3682]

Love the back of house videos don't stop doing them cheers

[@AliCousins-uu8xm]

We cannot buy butter milk it is not available in Cyprus. So we use Greek Yogurt. We think it is better.

[@ThexImperfectionist]

You can make butter milk by adding a small amount of vinegar to milk. I would look up the right proportions because I always eyeball it

[@AliCousins-uu8xm]

@@ThexImperfectionist Thank you but as I have said we prefer GY

[@timnieuwenhuis]

32:40 My wife has the coriander/cilantro soap gene. What I use as a substitute is flat leaf parsley with a little mint. Chop them up together and it makes an acceptable substitute. Its not the same, but better than leaving it out.

[@terrysaini3648]

Yes! This works great. Not the same but close.

[@mobes8876]

I had no idea this channel existed!! Time to binge this channel

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

Welcome!

[@kamoteking37]

Okay i'm gonna continue my trend of cooking along with Andy while listening to it ala Podcast style. Had waffles instead of pancake, and used my espresso machine for a flatwhite with oatmilk! Loved you guys interaction, and the stories you tell on the table

[@kathleenmayotte6856]

Love this format!

[@nootynoot6637]

I made your French onion soup last week and oh my god it was absolutely amazing only con was I almost cut the tip on my finger off with my knife but hey I’d be all good with that. This week I’m going to be making your pumpkin soup I’m so keen for it.

[@Tyler_Mayhem]

Woo new video, I liked the fried rice one on the main channel

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

Love that you watched both!

[@JasonSchmidt]

As always great format with you two.

[@alexandragrace8164]

Hi Chef! I was the one who asked about Mauritian food! Mauritius is an island off of Madagascar - an African island. You will love Rougaille - give it a try! It can be made with sausages or beef or whatever, but seafood is best! ❤ And Mauritians make pickles called Achard to put on top of curries. ❤ There are loads of Mauritian Australians in South Sydney and some in Brissy!

[@Kitkatrey]

I enjoy this channel so much, love the banter. My MIL would have called the pancake “mellowly brown”! LOL, you never threw food away and sometimes you had to eat mellowly brown toast or pancakes! I do need to say though, I have never seen anyone cook pancakes so slowly! I’d have had all of the batter cooked by the time you got 2 done! And they’d be big and fluffy.

[@loclinhemsley538]

Any plans of a Tassie trip? Sooo many cool spots to check out down here!

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

Hopefully! Would love to get there later in the year.

[@Kake-ko6xl]

As a coffee person I have to know, what set up do you have? Also wanted to say great work I've been loving all of these and i've caught myself integrating little techniques and such into whatever I cook for my family. >

I get both as a Brit who has lived and worked in Germany for 31 years. Almost all the waiters here in Irish bars are Australians back-packing around Europe :-) Aussies/Kiwis are some of my fave people in the world.

[@adriannarodriguez7138]

😂😂😂 I AM one of those who has the gene. As a hispanic, it gets laugable as I get the funniest looks. Cilantro/coriander is not too too prevelant in Tex mex cooking, but some places use more.

[@Feebeeee]

Favourite topping for pancakes would be sliced Bowen mango & ice cream, or a mixture of strawberries & blueberries, or sliced banana (lightly fried in butter or just fresh) with golden syrup. My Andy loves his pancakes & I just realised I don’t make them enough…will get on it this weekend 💗 🥞 oh & love my solidteknics skillets for pancakes

[@jaketheevans]

May I add my pancake recipe? One ive created myself. Makes 6 pancakes 1 C flour 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 large egg 1/4 cup vegtable oil 1 C milk 2 tsp Vanilla Mix dry together, Mix wet together then mix wet into dry, dont mix too much make sure its thick and lumpy. Cook on a non stick griddle or pan No butter or oil needed for cooking Topping with butter and maple syrup.

[@isabelgueren666]

Love you guys ❤🥞

[@barbarawood-mf5fo]

I have a couple of questions, in the cookbook are the recipes in European measures? Couple of recipe ideas-chicken Marsala or something with a Marsala wine also I am in Western Montana and would love to see you do Indian(native american) tacos which is done on Indian fry bread. I'm not native and only get this during the summer from a food cart. You guys are awesome, love watching!!

[@gregholding9483]

Fav pancake toppings are honey, walnuts and ricotta. But my son loves poached pear and caramel. Vanilla custard and berries is pretty good too

[@kenroberts5]

For us in Arizona (tons of Mexican food), coriander is the seed and cilantro is the plant. Heavily used in a ton of dishes, as you would expect

[@84Zanie]

Thank you! Always wondered what the difference is!!

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. It’s the same all over the country. Apparently not overseas.

[@xReDRaDiAtIoNx]

Instant munchies, thanks guys !!!

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

you're welcome 😄

[@tzTalesandtails]

I just love watching this laid back format. Y’all should make a Bolivian Silpancho. I love Maple and bacon on my pancakes. Question is: do you refrigerate your eggs?😅

[@MamitaClaud]

My favorite topping for pancakes is either latik (coco jam) or honey. I also put our own keso puti (white cheese from carabao). Yummm craving now. Kesong puti and honey on toasted bread is DELICIOUS!❤

[@DerekBolli]

Love making pancakes. Favourite topping is two rashers of crispy bacon on blueberry buttermilk pancakes and too much maple syrup 🥰👍

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

so good!

[@benjaminscheperle9536]

My favorite pancake topping is my grandpas homemade liver sausage with my grandma’s homemade cherry jelly. Lots of great breakfast memories with them!

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Interesting, what’s your heritage? We used to make our own maple syrup in Ohio, mom would make pineapple/walnut pancakes.

[@kristie-leathompson74]

I love the combination of sweet and salty. So pancakes with maple syrup, bacon and scrambled eggs is my go too 🙌🏻

i have no idea why, but when you guys started talking about the kitchen, i thought the sink was my FAVORITE set up. it's in a perfect spot and it's just so smooth looking and blends so well. to me the kitchen is perfect. sorry about your stove though ik how much you love it. but it's glass and easy to fix/repair. so that's good. and i can't wait to listen to the podcast. should be interesting!! i can't imagine how dyslexia is. but it's good that the formats and technology are better.

Big fan and love the content, can you do some content on winter warmers, be awesome to learn some good soups

Hey Andy, I am new to AUS and came from a place with much less humidity. I am having a terrible time with ground spices and seasonings clumping in jars and bottles. Do you have any tips or tricks to try and help mitigate this? Thanks!

Favourite pancake topping is definitely lemon and sugar! Cheers.

[@lesanelms7939]

Sourdough discard pancakes are amazing! Try them, there are hundreds of recipes on line, almost identical. Bloody Mary's. 🙂 Thank you for the fond memory of early mornings sailing to the start of a morning race. That was breakfast. It had vegetables so it was better than a donut. And usually bloody mary's were reserved for race day 2. Race day 1 was margarita's, so there is a lot of truth to the bloody mary hangover drink theory. Great video, kids. Thanks for entertaining us!

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

love sourdough starter pancakes!

[@rainbowvein]

Definitely a fan of berry compote on pancakes - but I've never made pancakes with blueberries in so I'm going to wait for the recipe and give them a crack!

[@sassall4284]

Love hearing another Dyslexic come up story. Especially from NZ. Chur

[@blayne2029]

Love your channel. Just a thought - most folks are making multiple pancakes at once for more than 1 person. We won't use a recipe where it takes 12 minutes before you can even flip the pancake. Can this (the cooking time) be sped up to be more useable to fit the average busy schedule? Thank you.

[@keithjohnson2476]

Hi Andy and Babe. I live in the Washington State, USA. My favorite pancake is made with lingonberry and Maple Syrup

I am Malaysian, so, its a sweet sauce we make by slow cooking 1 cup coconut milk, some "gula melaka" or palm sugar, pandan leaves for 20 minutes and adding in bananas 5 minutes before turning off the flames.

[@maryherje7120]

Coriander = cilantro in this discussion. In the States we refer to the green leafy part of the plant as cilantro, and we refer to the seeds as coriander.😊

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Grew up in Ohio. Had maple trees that we tapped for syrup, very time consuming, but well worth it. My mom would make pineapple and walnut pancakes! I’ve never had pancakes since.

[@sebastienhaspect6071]

Maple syrup and salted butter for me... Maybe a few berries at times... More of a crepe person than pancakes... Nice and thin, almost lacey type cooked batter...

[@Andy_M986]

Banana, Bacon and Maple syrup, perfect mix.

Howdy from Sunny Coast Florida. Wanted to comment on Canadians moving southward since at least 8 pct of our population seems to be from Ontario. Looks like moving south didn't stop at the border. I believe it helps account for the popularity of ice hockey in South Florida. Keep em coming.

[@cleementine]

I like the way you did it there, EXCEPT: you have to put butter and maple syrple on the bottom pancake, too! 🥞❤ (waving from Canada)

[@Ruirspirul]

very happy that my unico zelo comment was heard and you enjoyed their youtube! lovely😊

[@andycooksbackofhouse]

thanks for the recommendation!

[@ValNaUnd]

i think a bit less baking soda so they brown slightly slower and a bit more baking powder so they rise a touch more would definitely make them better

[@GregNow]

So awesome to just watch along. But I just wanted the pancakes to cook...Yelling hurry up at the screen...😆

I’m from Michigan in the States and I work with a lot of guys from Mexico in construction. I asked them if they have heard of any Mexican people that think cilantro tastes like soap and they said no. And yes a lot of their food has cilantro in it. I trade my fresh veggies for their home cooked food and love it

[@leoniemackenzie8557]

Chef..did you wash your whisk after whisking the egg yolks??? 😮 those whites gave you quite a challenge.

[@nikiredmon1960]

I wondered too….. ! I was told you should never get fat anywhere near egg whites if you want to whisk them. Is this just a myth then?

[@judewilkinson5486]

Great topping, particularly when camping, is crispy bacon topped with kahlua. Breakfast of champions!!!!

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. My girlfriend att used to make bacon interlaced like a pie topping. She’d do it in the pan before going on the fire, three quarters of the way through, she’d flip it and hit it with grand marnier, flambé it, slide it out of the plate and I would make pineapple/walnut pancakes. Espresso because camping in Northern California was always cold in the morning.

[@rietstrijker4828]

I love Dutch pancakes, especially "spekpannenkoeken". Can you make those too, Andy?

Andy, green looks great on you. you either go black or white T's usually. which is awesome and def you, like a signature! but u can def pull off more color and it's nice to see you in green today. go for like turquoise too, i think you'd look great in that. or like a dark blue. you look great my guy.

my favorite pancake toppings are- 1. fresh strawberries with whip and that jammy red strawberry sauce. 2. maple syrup, butter and banana glazed. with peanut butter. that's a badass pancake, elvis style. never had the 2nd anywhere but in my kitchen. i made it up. y'all should give it a try. or maybe people do that too. idk. but yea those two are killer, and with some coffee, fuhgettaboutit. and a cigarette afterward lmao

[@RyanBradley10]

For our three girls it’s sprinkles and strawberries in the pancakes. For me bacon and some chocolate chips in the pancake is top tier.

[@mrm6837]

How do you guys do your coffee? I need to get dairy out of my diet, do I ask for an Americano or a long black at coffee places?

[@Kake-ko6xl]

Obviously I'm not Andy and Babe, in most cafes (in Australia at least) serve Americano's and Long Blacks the same. If you want to try something different quite a few cafes sell batch brews. It's made to be served without milk, at least in most cases. Also to continue the rant, you could look at other alternative milks.

Pancakes with bacon and maple sirup 😮‍💨👌 Also honeybutter with bacon 🤤 Basically anything sweet and salty

Inevitable given how wheat is harvested, stored and milled. I think manufacturers are allowed something like 75 insect parts per kilo of flour from memory.

[@sam8603]

@@DerekBolli that brings me back to the point that Andy needs sift the flour before using it
