    You never quit. You must be so proud of yourself. That said, I have to add that I love how you edit your videos. But my friend this time was not just the filming and editing it was the MUSIC! How it varies depending on the situation... I was so into music that didn't realized how many times the pancakes didn't flip... Awesome video as always!!!

      I suggest that you use a little more oil. Don't be too hard, on yourself most of us can't get the first pancake right either. I myself have a hard time flip them or an omelet properly. I'd like to see you try making a Dutch baby pancake, they are real easy. You take 4 large eggs, 4 cups of flour and I think for cups of milk. Take a heavy cast iron skillet, add 1 cup of butter and put it into the oven while it preheats to 425 F degrees. While it's preheating you whisk the flour eggs etc in a blender. When the oven is preheated you pour the batter into the pan and bake at 425 f for 30 minutes. It will smoke and maybe set of your fire alarm. It will get golden brown on top and puff way up then collapse like a souffle. You traditioly serve it with powered sugar dusted over it and a squeeze of lemon. Of course you can top it any way you want. I like sweet not salted riccatta, with molasses, ricotta and fresh or frozen fruit. Also almond or peanut butter and maple syprup.

  • @chienchiaowang1300
    @chienchiaowang1300 3 роки тому +23

    I recommend you add like a couple teaspoon of water to the frying pan, because the steam will help cook the pancake entirely, so when you flip it to brown this other side will be much easier.

    Your channel popped up in my algorithm couple days ago and I've been binge watching...I'm newly subscribed, smashing the like button for each video I watch because they're all worth it. The dedication and perseverance you have is inspiring. I love your videos recreating Julia Childs recipes. I remember watching her on TV when I was a young girl back in the 1970's. My Mom had some of her cook books, but I could never follow them (too many references to other recipes to create 1 recipe).
    You've really done such a great job, 👏👏
    I only wish we could all sample those recipes 😋
    Looking forward to more binge watching your videos 😊

    I’ve never heard a Canadian swear so much in my life… It’s hilarious 😂 😂😂
    ( I’ve been to Calgary ( Banff actually) and never heard anyone swear, I also have a Canadian mate here in the UK and hardly ever heard him swear.
    A real potty mouth, but I can’t get enough of it.
    Please don’t stop, it has me in stitches.
    PS, I love the show.

  • @FelisTerras

    Again, I am amazed by your persistence and dedication. There are two things most recipes will not tell you, however. 1: you need to add some kind of raising agent, like baking powder, to the egg white. Second, it takes a slightly larger amount of fat/butter, to properly conduct the intial heat and seal the bottom. This way, you can cook it longer on a much lower heat, ensuring that they will cook all the way through without burning. How I know this? I adjusted about half a dozen recipes, until I found the one that worked with my type of pan. So yes, I can feel your pain and frustration

      @markntexas8265 8 місяців тому

      I had no problem but I used a ton of clarified butter in a Calphalon non stick griddle the comercial stablizer is only needed to keep the batter from collapsing waiting for orders or large batches corn star h will do the trick just like we used for soufflés hope that helps

    Jamie, just came across this old video having been watching many of the more recent ones in your wood toned kitchen. This is such a wonderful example of the persistence you bring to your task of mastering cooking skills. Even when completely frustrated, you are back at the task in the morning with three more ideas of what is causing your "flipping" project. (Pun intended).This look back shows just how much you have developed over the ensuing years. Keep the shows coming.

    more hilarity ensues at your mishaps, your editing was masterful and the musical accompaniment on this one was just a little short of genius, Jamie 😉👍...(the mournful music at the next morning failed flipping made me burst out laughing!....and just a tip, Jamie?...any recipe I have ever done where the yolks and whites are incorporated with separate ingredients in a recipe, it's really important to gently as possible, fold in the egg white mixture with the yolk mixture (no whisking at all, at all, not even a little bit)....I think that's why you were having such a hard time turning the pancakes...with the egg white mixture gently blended in but still kind of distinct from the rest of the mixture, the exterior of the pancakes would have cooked and set much more quickly when exposed to the heat in the frying pan (the white of an egg always cooks the quickest)...might want to try that the next time....and not trying to be the boss of you, or anything!...just being helpful ☺)

    I tried these recently and had some moderate success, however the amount of effort and general "babying" the cooking process required vs the reward of eating them did not align AT ALL. They tasted pretty underwhelming, and they also deflated quite quickly after removing them from the pan so you still didn't really get to enjoy a fluffy cloud-like pancake. I applaud your perseverance though - 7 rounds is a goddamn impressive marathon.
