Whiskey Cinnamon Pancakes on the Griddle

[@rjmaloney7295]

"that's not as good as I expected" I almost spit my coffee out. I dont think I have ever heard a cook say that on KZbin. Great Vid

[@TheFlatTopKing]

That’s exactly why I didn’t want to refilm. No way everything everyone makes is the best ever. Just doesn’t happen like that. Thanks RJ.

[@kurts7268]

Lol my thoughts exactly. His brutal honesty is worth the price of admission.

[@christopherlarson7743]

Mr.Neil u have a problem this is your cooking intervention u r way to awesome never a dull moment keep up the great work

[@ChiefTags]

singing at the end? who do you think you are? grill Collins? 😅 I'll show myself out 😂 great video and my wife and I appreciated the honest review. never see that on these vids. 👊👊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Now that a great one....Grill Collins literally laughing out load....Much appreciated. Just try to be honest..

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome video, thanks ❤️👍❤️👍❤️

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thank You

[@tammyalaliey6308]

I LOVE that your opinion of the outcome is completely honest. I watch a lot of cooking shows and none of them are completely honest. We can tell by the way it looks that it may not be that great, but they don't say it. You did and that is awesome! It looks amazing and I assume the smell is amazing also. Maybe it needed extra drizzles of the sauces to be what you were looking for? Either way, great video!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

First thanks for the comment...and you are 100 percent correct. It wasn't that it was bqd it was just not great....and it was missing that extra drizzle...

[@DouglasUphoff]

The true mark of a great chef is that you never stop learning. Thanks for the honesty.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You bet

[@mikej9564]

Going to try this for Sunday breakfast. Add cinnamon to mix and syrup. Chop pecans fine and add to syrup, then pour (not just drizzle) over pancakes. And maybe a touch more whiskey.

[@beauK2166]

Knocked this video out of the park!! 😋 🥞

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Beau

[@JGill0124]

I’m not going to lie. I loved the idea of this but when you said it wasn’t as good as you expected, my head snapped at the screen. I appreciate the honesty because I was thinking of things I would do differently as you were cooking. Your honesty just confirmed I need to roll with my idea.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

TO me thats the best comment...I always try to be honest...regardless of the outcome..What are you changing,..I agree with you as soon as I tasted it I knew where I could fix it..

[@JGill0124]

@@TheFlatTopKing For starters, I would reduce a cup of whiskey by half to burn off the alcohol, concentrate the flavor and use it to make a caramel. Make the caramel in advance and cool it so it’s thick. Add some cinnamon sugar to the batter when mixing. Then add the caramel to the batter like you did. I do like the cream cheese glaze idea but pump up the cinnamon.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

@@JGill0124 agree to all.

[@JGill0124]

@@TheFlatTopKing Thanks and keep up the great work. I bought my Camp Chef because of your videos. It’s still in the box, but I plan to setting it up and cooking on it soon!

I'm glad you didn't re-shoot the video. It's fun to watch you explore and learn too👍😊

Dude love how you cook from the heart... This still looks awesome! Just save some Jack for my coffee!

Straight after that video...hahhahha TY

[@stonerscravings]

I’ve said it before. I’m a savory chick like Amy. But I’m willing to make these for my husband ❤️. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You are so welcome!

[@andreweliason4658]

Looks amazing!

[@kaazbah]

LOL I do the exact same thing when I cook stuff... I'm like "that could be better" all the time....

[@bobEreels]

I hit the like button 2 minutes in! I want to make this next time i go camping but my concern I won't have any Jack left over the next morning

[@TheFlatTopKing]

AHHAHAHAHA we can always buy in bulk.....

[@mikej9564]

Going to try this for Sunday breakfast. I believe the brown bits on the pan are milk solids, not the fats in the butter.

[@kenyott9169]

I’m gonna try it with cinnamon whiskey.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Let me know how it turns out. Im curious

[@bradcampbell624]

"You can eat your mistakes" - Love it! I do a lot of that. The candied nuts are a great idea, but I would also add Bacon. Do you ever use pepper jelly on pancakes or biscuits? So good, too.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Typically over cream cheese and crackers.

[@markduree7132]

I think this actually may be the best video you’ve done (that I’ve seen anyway). Personally, I think I’d thin the glaze a bit more with maple syrup, and maybe skip the whiskey so it was more family friendly, and maybe candied bacon instead of, or along with, the candied pecans. I love the idea and might try it for Easter brunch tomorrow. Good job.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Mark….the temp was hot enough to technically burn the alcohol so my kids actually eat some. Not a big deal just leaves flavor it that matters

[@richg.8092]

👍👍👍👍 Another video to try to make it better.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Rich

[@carlbeaver7112]

Like so many things in life it's not what you do, cook or make... it's what you wrap those things around.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Respect.

[@tonybean5162]

Have you or will you write and release a breakfast and dinner cookbook? Still waiting for the scallops lol . All the best to you and yours.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We will be working on it soon. It will take a while but I will keep everyone updated. I still have the scallops frozen.. Any idea what to make with em. Maybe a seafood Alfredo from scratch .... Send some off the charts inspiration.

[@tonybean5162]

How about bacon wrapped or cheese covered asparagus? Your seafood Alfredo sounds good too.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

@@tonybean5162 my only concern with bacon wrapped is the scallops over cook because it takes so long to cook bacon. Lets keep brainstorming. I was thinking fried but nope. Then in a spicy tomato sauce but….. hard to in a griddle. How to mix them with something like shrimp. Any thoughts on cajun scallops

[@tonybean5162]

Cajun scallops will work with a steak topped with sautéed shrooms and a fresh garden salad.

[@brianbrinegar6086]

Now we need a repeat with an "updated" recipe

[@onlyychevys]

The alcohol cooks out very fast, your girls could eat that. Love the honesty of your video's!

[@jamesmiller805]

Awesome video! nothing but the truth got to respect that. got to say it looked pretty damn good though.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yeah no doudt....I just think it was lacking that intense taste I was expecting

[@1someoneelse]

Lol, lol at the end!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

ty just being honest....

[@earlkramer1965]

Hey Neil or Amy where do i find your recipes at ??? I can't find them !! Love your videos !!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We have a website specifically for them...not all videos translate to recipes...just not enough time... theflattopking.com

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Your expectations are quite high, good for all of us and it shows even the best must experiment to find the new "upgrade" to any recipe. First pass, some of the best taste of the pancake is the fresh, real, maple syrup dripping all over. That not being there may affect what you expected from the taste bud tango with the syrup, my guess.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Just a touch of more cinnamon.....maybe to reduce the sauce a hair more...its was good just not great

[@GaEt60]

Have you tried Crown Maple Syrup? It's syrup aged in whiskey barrels, awesome stuff.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes I have....Great stuff. I like the peach as well. Just happen to have this and had two excuses to use it for reason to get a new bottle...

[@mikebruce2758]

Mama used too tell me, don’t play with your food……very interesting variant!

[@frankmarullo228]

Neil do you wash that down with a ice cold moose drool ? Or a fat tire ?? Thanks for a quick response... Frank

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hahaha. Off camera just on rocks. Finished the bottle

[@ragequit42]

Instead of Jack (I don't care for Jack) try Old Forester 86. Similar price point and a much better flavor profile.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I will look for it ty

[@johnnyscott9509]

first time I'm seeing this video now that I have my Camp Chef 600 and was wondering if you go back and forth between the CC and The Blackstone griddles? Also not sure if you are aware of this, might want to pass it along to your subscribers but Camp Chef has lowered the price on the 600 from $599 to $429...$170 off, unfortunate for me since I just bought mine full price 3 weeks ago!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I do go back and forth...I actually just sold my camp chef...Definitely not negative about camp chef just a space issue..we have spoken about this on several videos...just in case you see it..

[@kennystringfellow4923]

No whiskey was wasted during the filming of this video. The pancakes are still in debate till another bottle of whiskey is consumed.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

AMEN>>>>>

[@warrenwest311]

Your pancakes would be excellent on a cold 20° or less morning. On a side note in the Caribbean maple syrup is hard to come by so they make a Pineapple syrup from pineapples, brown sugar, butter and plenty of Rum.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Now that is interesting...love the culinary knowledge..Ty

[@justenward2135]

Bacon would definitely set it over the top

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yes it would....Maybe on the remake...

[@1someoneelse]

Cos of your not liking it I am going to subscribe.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Much appreciated..

[@idonwantella2824]

Try Bailey's Strawberries and Irish cream. Amy will love it since she doesn't like syrup. (I would rather go without syrup myself) Whiskey is disgusting, but you know I don't drink at all.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thats a good idea right there. we are thinking about a lemon blueberry with white chocolate..

[@alpintourer]

Spritz some whiskey on each layer. Sort of like dipping a ladyfinger in espresso when making a Tiramisu.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

HELL YA now thats an idea. Dude ty. keep them comming

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I should subscribe to you..Thanks for real. I love that idea

[@fredt.3530]

One minor failure after all the videos you’ve done well, pretty good percentage. I always look forward to your next video so keep doing what you’re doing, you and your wife make a great team and she does an excellent job behind the camera. I searched for sloppy Joe’s on the griddle and found a few but none from you. Maybe you could consider doing sloppy Joe’s with your twist, hope you’ll consider it as I would like to see what you come up with. I like the way you’re always teaching and will be doing some of your recipes on my flat top.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Much appreciated Fred….she swears she like em. I just thought the flavor should have been more intense.

[@chrismarrow9639]

I wonder if Cinnamon whisky would of made it better.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I had some leftover and was scared it might be to much but after trying it you might be right

[@themeez1000]

So, browned butter rice crispy treats will change your life.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yea they do. Deep flavor. I have but royal crown in the marshmallow mix too.

[@MJ_Lopez__]

Add melted butter to the pancake mix

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well that sounds good….. is that instead of the oil… or extra.

[@warrenwest311]

It would have been better if it was 20° or less as all pancakes taste better. Side not in the Caribbean maple syrup is hard to come by so they make a warm pineapple syrup from butter, brown sugar, pineapple, pineapple juice and lots of rum which is excellent on a cool Caribbean morning.

[@TheBeardedItalian]

I think they looked really tasty. And my guy! Don’t say anything about a marriage being in a rut in front of your wife! 🤣🤣🤣That there is man cave talk only. 😋👊🏻🍻

Thats was your idea....by the way

[@mojofriday5365]

Wanting to make this, but the chef saying it’s not good is a bit of a wet blanket on the idea.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Just make it better. I think its good just not great. I would add more cinnamon and more whiskey. Maybe add cinnamon in the glaze to make it pop. Add buttermilk to the batter and you just upped the game.

[@mojofriday5365]

@@TheFlatTopKing I made it sunday. I did add more cinnamon. We enjoyed it!

[@howardbarlow578]

Maybe you don't need more of everything. Maybe you just need less pancake. Didja ever think about that? Well, didja? I didn't think so.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

HHAHHAAHHA Nope I didnt....I think the cinnamon was just laking....just wasnt intese enough

[@ernestlooker4015]

Sometimes you might be a little too critical of your own cooking I have that same problem everybody was eating at loves it but I think there's something wrong with it
