[@IlsaFireswan]

Fun facts for those who dig through comments: the oven is “moderate” because this cookbook was written when gas stoves were still only a decade or so into common use! Many people would have still been using a wood fired oven, which doesn’t have temperature controls (but you can still gauge temperature ranges when you know what you are doing.) Slow/moderate/high as temperatures would have been understood by the original readers. Also, baking chocolate squares were 1oz by weight until the early 2010s when they switched to 1/2 oz squares. Personal note, I am fascinated by the way cooking changes with the advance of technology and the kinds of things one needs to know in order to use a recipe older than just a handful of decades. So impressed with Mr Hollis here! Looking forward to more of these videos.

[@inc3843]

@@spamspace6878 I know what you mean but their referring to squares of chocolate like surface area of a flat side of a Hersheys, not volumetric amount

[@glossaria2]

The Baker's Chocolate brand goes back to the 1780s and pretty well dominated the home baking market-- Fanny was probably using that brand in her own kitchen. Their baking chocolate originally came in an 8-oz. box (now I think it's 4 oz.) containing 8 individually-wrapped squares that were molded with a groove in the middle, so you could chop them in half as necessary. (And I do mean "chop" not break-- those suckers were HARD.) When you see Fanny (or any 19th or 20th c. American cookbook) call for "a square of bitter chocolate," they're asking for a 1-oz. (28.35 g) piece of unsweetened (NOT bittersweet!) chocolate-- 99-100% cacao. (As a note, "fanny" also a cute way to refer to one's backside in the U.S.-- it's not considered vulgar or offensive. In the 19th/early 20th c. it was also a nickname for Frances, but it fell out of fashion quite some time ago.)

[@donb7519]

i'm not sure if dylan is from a part of the world where this is true but he may be referrering to how some places use fanny as a slang word for a woman's private area

[@glossaria2]

@@donb7519 Yes, I recently learned about that for the UK! That's why I specified what the slang was in the U.S., because that's also where Fannie was from (I realized afterwards I'd spelled her name incorrectly-- just to confuse matters, there's also a confectioner in the U.S. that goes by Fanny Farmer).

In the early '90s, my college housemate's British friend came to visit, and she giggled with delight every time my boyfriend referred to his belt bag as a "fanny pack." She would goad him into saying it as often as possible.

Cool on wire rack. 2 For the Filling: In 3 separate large bowls, whisk each box Jell-O with 1 1/2 cups boiling water until dissolved. Pour into 3 loaf pans or pie plates and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours. Once Jell-O has solidified, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and keep chilled.

its the way he understands the assignment 😌 like with youtube, he knows there is practically no time limit but with tiktok he has to grasp the viewer's attention the second they click into the video. was really taken back at how chill he seems to be here!! rlly love his narration and enjoying listening to him talking abt the beloved recipe

[@purplepimp2006]

This man is an absolute joy to watch, so glad I came across these videos.

[@eston3418]

I could listen to this man talk for hours without tiring. His shorts have a wonderful chaotic energy that gives me life, but in this video it shows more of the man himself, in a more natural environment without the 60 second restriction. And it's great. It's calming, it's easy to understand, and it's overall just a very different, very nice feeling.

[@McSquiddington]

I'm an oldie in his late thirties so I'm kinda partial to the KZbin format, but the TikToks were insanely fun to watch. Bottom line is it's your channel, your TikTok, your content. Do whatever strikes your fancy; I'm like a ton of others who appreciate both formats.

[@owenweatherbie9938]

As soon as you said Fanny Farmer, I realized why this recipe works out so well. She's quite the famous cook/author. She's also one of the first proponents of using standardized measurements (like Cups, teaspoons, etc.) in recipes, switching away from the previous practice of things like "butter the size of an egg"

[@jweg4051]

Love that your videos are longer over here! I enjoy hearing some of the backstory on these old recipes too!

This was absolutely delightful. The genuine humility and friendliness is like a ray of sunshine on the soul.

Thanks Dylan for trying something new. I laugh hysterically at your TikToks, but I also enjoy your insights into how the ingredients and techniques work together to produce a particular result. Both styles are wonderful.

[@Fennetic]

The fact that he already made it 6 times is proof enough that it's good.

[@bunker8digitallabs]

When they talk about natural charisma, charm, and the “it” factor, they clearly had Dylan in mind. The embodiment of all of these things, plus a wicked sense of humour and timing. Dylan in short or long form is a complete delight.

In all honesty, I love your videos for several reasons. Love the energy, and the way you present these recipes. It really shows how the people struggling through the Great Depression, the World Wars, etc found ways to feed their family regardless of everything going on in the world. One of my favorites you did as a short tic tock video, was the bacon fat/grease chocolate chip cookies. Fun fact: during World War 2, the housewives often saved the bacon fat in lieu of even having butter. They would even use it to butter the bread. These recipes that you share, are truly like you're digging up a time capsule with a bit of insight into what their lives were like a little bit, during those times. Thank you.

[@MyArmorFlo]

This is the first time I have stumbled upon this guy, first video, didn't even see his tiktok, and yet 3 minutes in and I'm already thinking "this guy is friend shaped. Absolutely delightful." 🥺❤️

[@GaiusMarius65]

I’ve been a pastry chef for going on 30 years, and I’ve made or tasted some of the recipes you’ve done. I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying your shorts, but I’m glad you did this one in a long form. It intrigued me. I’m loving your commentary, and you often have me laughing out loud. “THIS IS A WAR CRIME!!” 😂🤣😂🤣

[@Roguefem76]

Joining into the chorus to say, yes please, more of these long vids please! Regarding production values, as long as I can see you clearly and hear you clearly that's pretty much all that's necessary. With something like this you really don't need whizz-bang special effects or Hollywood studio lighting or anything like that. The interesting, yummy recipes and your warm and fun personality are more than enough to keep your audience happy and loyally waiting for more!

[@matthewpack3170]

You gotta be the Bob Ross of these cooking videos. So calm and soft spoken. A stark contrast to your tic toc. I just recently came across these KZbin videos, but I find them just as enjoyable.

[@chwenhoou]

Again, Dylan is made for a Food Network show. He can do a quick pace version on Tiktok but can perform a mellow version of these forgotten recipes. Folks should check out his non-cooking videos. They're delightful.

B. Dylan you are a treasure. Your humor is delightful. The recipes are quirky. I have only recently found you on KZbin. Keep up the amazing videos. Potatoes are also used in an old-timey candy recipe.

[@ArisimaSpinosa]

It is rare to see someone who can seamlessly transition between two mediums, but I enjoyed both presentations.

[@EssiBunny]

While I love CIMMANIM and EGGIE as much as the next person, I absolutely adore this format too. You're funny and entertaining, and getting more insight to the recipies in a calmer way is wonderful. Also your non-yelling voice is very pleasant to listen to.

[@natsumeohiko680]

It's such a shame he stopped making long videos... Maybe he's busy or none of the recipes are worthy of a full length video in his opinion for now, but I definitely like this format. Funny and calming at the same time.

He did say he's a TikToker, he makes 10 times more revenue there than on KZbin for shorter length content 😎

[@ChonysSmile]

I love these videos, so yes PLEASE keep making them. Your camera quality is actually part of the charm. Its uncomplicated great visual quality, and it feels like when you sit your kid on the bench so they can watch you bake. As fun as it is to watch you "yell" out the instructions for a 30 or so second ticktok (which is highly entertaining), i very much enjoy your quieter humor in this format too. I do love that you keep in a couple of your idiosyncrasies from ticktok vids too (especially "eggies") so keep doing it your way. Love and support to you. Looking forward to your next KZbin video.

[@smg1228]

Back in the 80s and earlier, the Baker's squares used to be 1oz a square. That's why the old recipes call for them by squares. I think they've changed it only in the last decade or so. :) Looks AMAZING!

[@mxkale-k6r]

I think four of the little rectangles is the same as the old square. I wonder if originally it was using bittersweet chocolate instead of semi-sweet and why it had that much sugar.

[@UchihaKat]

All I can imagine while watching this, especially the "now I'm just a college student" moment, is that Julia "Anyone can be a french chef" Child being very pleased by this.

[@Packbat]

This is very belated, but Fannie Merritt Farmer, delightful be her name, is also a pretty prominent figure in the history of cooking! Her earlier 1896 book "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" was credited as one of the first cookbooks to use standard and precise measurements followed by clear instructions - it set a standard for American cookbooks that pretty near every recipe has followed since. It was also just an excellent cookbook. It has continued getting new official editions as "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook" down to at least 1990, and my own mom had a copy in the 1990s in the kitchen for reference. I bet it's still on the shelf there. I'm not even a little surprised that her chocolate potato cake was excellent.

[@mimisler]

My family's most used cook book is our Fannie farmer cook book from like, the 60s or 70s? I hope to acquire a copy of it myself someday, its really one of the best cook books

Heck, I got a whole TikTok account because of that video! I couldn't stop laughing, because, as a Gen-Xer, I was subjected to some of these gelatinous oddities by the grandparent set (and all their friends from the Cribbage and Bridge Clubs) and I'm fairly sure I had that one in particular. It was a real craps shoot, navigating the jiggly end of the potluck table at the retirement center when visiting Grandma and Grandpa. Some were eldritch abominations invoked directly from the deepest infernal abyssal pits, while some were a hidden delight. There was no way to tell by looking. It gave me Jell-O trust issues. I love the stuff plain. I get Feelings and Memories when I see Things Suspended In There.
