However you like your pancakes, thick or thin, round or misshapen, white flour or whole wheat, Pancake Law dictates that the last of your batter MUST be used to make an extra large pancake the size of your cooking pan
Period
Usually for me it ends up being a tiny one
@supraguy4694 I love the tiny pancakes.
So tiny so crispy and buttery.
Amen or alternatively always, ALWAYS, accidentally make too many 😂
Just make every pancake the size of an extra large pan
Just made pancakes yesterday and assumed I did something wrong (as usual) because they didn't rise much. Decided to check my baking powder at Babish's suggestion; expired February 2023🙃. This video is already paying dividends!
If I can't remember how long I've had baking powder, I just toss it and by a new can. Even if it's not expired, it can go stale after a while.
let that be a suggestion to actually check your used by or best before dates
This reminds me of when I bought fresh baking powder when making peanut butter cookies, and I thought they looked more flat than usual, so I checked the old can and it had expired 20 years ago.

Jake’s song about bacon pancakes is still catchy to this day, even now I sometimes sing the song even when I’m not making pancakes.
saaame i was microwaving oatmeal singin it lol
He should have inserted the meme of Jake singing bacon pancakes bro 😭
[Jake voice] Botchin' pancakes, Babish botchin' pancakes.
@@spramazd 😂 lol that’s something Jake would say 💀📈
Bacon pancakes bacon bacon pancakes make some bacon and put it in a pancake BACON PANCAKEEES
I've been making pancakes since I was around 10. Most of the stuff you show here I've learned from experience over the years, and I still learned a thing or two from this video. Thank you. I was already the master of Pancakes by the time I hit 20 but this video practically broke the level ceiling of what I can do with pancakes. Thank you.
Cool. You’re now cooking pancakes with ultra instinct.
Me too! I’ve learned over the years to not over-mix, to not put any butter or oil in the pan, and the proper time to flip. But the game-changers in this video are bringing the buttermilk to room temperature before adding the melted butter and resting the mix for 30 minutes. Those steps made my pancakes near perfect!
I feel like this format is one of the most helpful cooking formats I’ve seen on UA-cam. You are actually teaching us to fish rather than fishing for us!
Yes! I completely agree!
yea!! recipes always say, dont do that, dont sub this, and its like... but why?? i need to know how dire the consequences are :P
Not me thinking at 6:16 that he was going to say "pre-heat your cast iron in the oven", which is also useful for even heating of cast iron. Also, electric griddles can often have hot spots as well, but you can't really "move" it around for even heating
Pancakes are one of the cheapest and easiest foods to make from scratch. Potential cheaper than ramen, and every college student should learn to make it.
Bold of you to assume I like pancakes
(just joking, I love pancakes)
While I may agree, there’s also the convenience factor to consider.
@@DuJonTHomas as long as you have premixed powder, it is so easy and fast
Nah I think I'll stay with ⅕ USD instant noodle
@@itsFnD, for five dollars you can get a 5lb sack of flour and a container of baking soda and make about 75 pancakes, pending pancake size. For six cents a cake.
6:56 In case you were serious, it's a safety plug my dude. It's meant to pull out easily in case someone trips or yanks on the cord. That way you don't have lava hot food flying all over the place and a scorching hot hunk of metal rocketing off the counter top.
It also shouldn't be submerged or doused in water, while the rest of the griddle is washed.
I take a stick of butter, take half the wrapper off, and rub down the entire electric griddle. Basically, fry the pancakes for an extra crispy ring around it.
Same! I can’t give up the crispy ring for anything
@@SpArK4GrL same, the crispy is the best.
Yes! That crispy part is undeniably the best part of the whole pancake!
26:12 That excited "Pancakes!" was so cute! ♥
"Do all kinds of pleasurable activities. Not those."
that seemed like an challenge, I will not do it, but someone might
OwO
Not with that attitude you won't!
this is your reminder to stay sober :3
Taking an Arabic class because you wanted to be a journalist is almost as “post 911” as TSA 😂
I'm trying to figure out why if he failed Spanish, why did he think Arabic could be any easier?
@@animesoul167Maybe he failed Arabic first, then thought Spanish would be easier.

The age old complaint: Two tablespoons of WHICH kosher salt? Salt needs to be by weight. Diamond Crystal vs Morton's are a huge difference in density.
Always diamond crystal. Always.
I demand salt standardization
@@theguywhosright9110 you could also just switch to the metric system
@juannaym8488 measuring salt in mL solves nothing
@@rosalie.e.morganI'm willing to bet they meant grams
Kenji’s pancake recipe is absolutely fantastic (from The Food Lab). Whips the egg whites separately and uses butter, buttermilk, and sour cream (I swap it for vanilla Greek yogurt). They manage to be simultaneously fluffy and rich.
sorry i always put butter in the pan instead of at the end, i love the buttery pancake edges
im loving these botched episodes so much. i didnt just learn how to make pancakes today, i also learned why every ingredient and step in the recpie is important.
i also love how much personality is in botched episodes haha
Thick Pancake superiority
9:11
911 was bad
Thin pancakes are better
@@8leggedsquirrel521sure if you like expired ingredients and overmixed batter. Do it right and they're extra thick and fluffy.
I actually really like making crepes and putting syrup on them like they're pancakes. The texture is really nice, and I prefer them to the more standard tall fluffy pancakes
Can we talk about the ice cream scoop? Game changer.
I mean, a ladle would be out of the question..
The ice cream scoop offends me. Ladle4Life
Babish: "it's sunday morning, I'm your dad"
everyone: "yes Babish, you are"
Now we need an episode of Andrew trying all the pancake mixes
The combo of unhinged Babish and editing is S tier.
As a very wise kid once said: "Pancakes. Pancakes! PAAANCAAAAAAAKES!!!"
Chocolate Pancakes for the ultimate SpongeBob meme
@@JorgeLopez-qj8pu White chocolate pancakes for that extra conflict..
We like them crispy, which seems quite rare. The best we've had is Soumi in Houghton, MI
The best we've done at home is a Chez Ma Tante recipe, but make sure to use aluminum free baking powder
❤
3:30 "If you make pancakes in a non-stick, they're gonna do exactly what the name of the pan says. They're NOT. GOING. TO STICK."
THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED F***ING NON-STIIIIIICK!!!
15:44 Trying to pass off a pocketcake as a pancake, Andrew? For shame.
This is extremely useful, as I have had several of these problems, especially the "over mixed" one. Thanks!
The only way I mess up pancakes is by making waaaay too much batter 😂😂 But hey - more batter, more pancakes!
Botched by Babish is absolutely my favourite part of the BCU. The editing, the title cards, the fever pitch energy... Keep 'em coming!!!
"Butter my pancakes or don't butter me at all" - me
4:56 ITS RAW -Gordon Ramsay, probably
Did you mean Ramsan Gordy?
plain yogurt works as buttermilk sub, can add a bit of water for thinning
Huh I never would have thought baking powder actually expired and that it can expire in premade pancake mix
This video is the epitome of why babish is the man. Vital and helpful tips conveyed in a direct and humorous manner. I will be practicing my pancake skills this weekend!
If you don’t like the idea of adding lemon or vinegar to you milk for the buttermilk sub, then I’ve found that adding plain yoghurt to you milk and mixing it in till you get a butter milk likeness looks, tastes and works much better too in my opinion. 👍🏻
Watching Andrew scuttle to the side like Zoidberg definitely made my night
Nobody ever sees the pocket pancake coming.
Pancakes and the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. Two of my three favorite things.
This is probably my favorite episode. I’ve learned so much helpful information.
I like the first 'weird' pancake... I think.
There's not a single one of those I wouldn't eat in this video.
I love thin stretchy pancakes for wrapping bacon in
@@robertstuckey6407 crepes? crepes are made for rollin
I got my favorite pancake recipe from Alton Brown and he says if you dont have buttermilk, use regular milk and vinegar but you have to let that sit for 5 minutes or so before you add it to the recipe. Dont forget to stir it. But ive been doing that for years, with buttermilk or the milk/vinegar mixture and have gotten beautiful thick fluffy pancakes which are my favorite.
pancakes that are not fried in melted butter are no pancakes at all..
In my experience, the best pancake mix is the ridiculous "pancake and waffle mix" which makes no sense.. it'd make terrible waffles. waffles need a totally different mix
but because of the extra protein, they get sooo crispy. Best thing to avoid accidentally getting crispy crepes is to add extra baking powder to the dry, and lemon juice to the wet, so it foams.
Crazy you uploaded this video while I’m eating pancakes
Yeah idkkk soundin like there's a whole lot of ways to make a pancake incorrectly
Lemon juice is the superior buttermilk alternative additive.
I don't believe in buttermilk alternatives in my house. We always keep buttermilk in our refrigerator. Of course we are in the south
I ❤ thin and crispy pancakes, cooked in melted butter. Great crispy edges, and adds a fantastic browned butter flavor.
as a kid, no one taught me about the “overmixing” rule, so all of my pancakes were like rubber. i thought it was due to the vanilla essence
This is the most ive ever learned about pancakes. Thanks!
My mom got a pancake recipe from our old swedish lady neighbor. They are a bit thin but just heavenly! Egg/ salt/ buttermilk and flour. Add the milk and flour/ baking soda alternately to the beaten egg till your desired consistency. Perfect! One sentence no commas indeed!
Electric griddle for temperature control and area. Also...yeasted pancakes
PANCAKES!!!
This is so delightfully unhinged and I’m all about it.
I wish I could see the dynamics of a cooking show with Babish and Ryan Reynolds
Hey Babish Culinary Academy as a new dad this video is extremely helpful thank you
I’ve learned and laughed so much during this video!!
10/10 stars
My brother makes great pancakes. Once done he puts a pat of butter on the top of the first then continues buttering as he stacks the pancakes on the serving plate. Then the authentic maple syrup. Add the bacon and that is breakfast
You have helped me pinpoint exactly what I'm doing wrong, thank you!!
I'm still figuring out how to make my perfect pancake. I want a cake that is thin and spreads quite a bit on the griddle, not crape thin but not more than 5mm thick but still airy with open crumb and well browned. More experimentation is required.
Thanks so much for the 'Science of the Perfect Pancake' I have always failed so i will be trying this way in the future. I didn't realize how easy it was to mess them up until i had messed them up. Also the baking powder thing i didn't know they actually can expire thanks for sharing that info too.
Gluten free family here. We modify a mix from Pam's. Add some baking soda, mix it in with the dry. Moments before we put it on the griddle we add some vinegar. Get some awesome bubbles.
I feel like Andrew does things like this when he's having a manic episode
8:56 - chef's kiss edit. Classic 🔥
One of my favorite videos you've done Andrew, loved the knowledge, loved the edits, and humor. it was very fun to watch and i plan on using many of these tips when i make pancakes!
a wide but somewhat thick pancake is perfect
There is a powdered buttermilk called Saco that makes an excellent pancake. Saves buying a carton of buttermilk and throwing most of it away.
Why did I keep seeing Leopold’s Farmers Bounty butter commercial every time Andrew said Danish Creamery.
That Shatner-esqe.....pause....is fire!
This is by far my favourite type of babish video long live botched
This is legitimately one of my favorite Babish videos in years ❤
2:20 I use the round pan and make plate/pan sized pancakes lol
I love the evolution of Babish throughout the years. From primarily low, headless angles and a fairly serious and no-nonsense tone, to a fun yet informative approach with touches of dirty humor.
These videos are hilarious, and also very helpful. I am adjusting my pancake recipe as I watch. Thanks!
Kendel at the end made me smile so big
Syruping with Bancakes
Started watching this and wanted to make pancakes. All of your lovely tips came after they would've been useful! Next time though I will have perfect pancakes
I NEEDED THIS SO BADLY
Need what? Panckes?
There are times you do want thin pancakes, such as when you're intending to use them to wrap other foods, like in pigs in a blanket or in strawberry roll-ups.
You mean like a crepe?
@@sabbathjackal I've seen roll-ups with both crepes and full pancakes. Just the pancake version uses thinner ones like the too-much-milk one Babish made.
One way I was taught to get fluffy pancakes is to separate the eggs, add the yolks to the liquid before adding to the dry, whip the whites to the soft peaks and fold them into the batter.
The Danish Creamery packages look like they're for golf balls.
Last time I was this early, she looked at me in shame.
Pancakes are one of the 1st foods i learned to make from scratch and without a recipe. I add all kinds of stuff based on what's in my pantry. Nuts oats spices I will mix in sweet potatoes or pumpkin. I make syrups as well. It's a great way to stretch ingredients
That 9:14 flip was incredible, props my dude
6:12 I fr thought Babish was Edward Scissorhands 💀💯
The content has been A tier! Glad to see you having fun again.
This was one of the best episodes of this series, great work on it.
Idk why but the "I'm not even a farmer" took me out 😂
An ice cream scooper to scoop your batter? WOW MINDBLOWING
Did you forget to show what happens if you just burn them, like in the thumbnail? Maybe I missed it.
I always called that first weird pancake, "The Chef's Pancake" because I would eat the weird one so that I plated normal pancakes for the kids. Source: Me. Dad of 2 kids who are now 23 and 25. I still eat the first weird pancake. 😉
19:45 - I use regular milk all the time and have enormously fluffy pancakes. I use baking powder and baking soda in the recipe, but they're usually 3/8" to 1/2" thick.
Butter in the pan, EVERY TIME BATTER IS POURED!!! You know why? Because it gives it the most incredible crisp rim. "Incredible how?", you ask? Incredible taste and texture, I answer. Dad was RIGHT to grease up the pan like that and don't let anyone tell you not to do it that way, except possibly your cardiologist, but that's between you and your medical professional.
When my dad makes pancakes, they always tasted funny to me. I can’t fully explain what it is but they always taste weird.
However, when my grandma would make pancakes they always tasted great. I think I might also be because my grandma would always make her pancakes homemade.
yeah pancake mixes always tasted weird to me too, almost chemically
@@F0Q5-B312 I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Oil vs butter changes the flavor pretty drastically
Also, packaged mixes, including Bisquick contain shortening, which can definitely take on an oxidized, slightly rancid taste in storage, especially if it's old or its stored warm
Decoding the pancakes, that's detailed inner engineering of pancakes preparation :) 🔥🔥🔥
When I was growing up, we called the spot between 4 and 5 on the dials of our old Viking electric stove "pancake medium".
I just happened to be making pancakes with my daughter and her friends in a few minutes. Hero dad! Thanks.
The Rocks pancakes have been life changing for me. Coconut and banana pancake is insane
Absolutely loved the editing on this. Your editor is very funny
I like to whisk my dry ingredients (even if it's mix) before adding the wets. It makes the wet ingredients incorporate much more quickly and reduces lumps
I tend to prefer the mix which usually turn out pretty thick and fluffy but sometimes turn out thin. I definitely learned the difference between using butter and not using butter when it comes to non-stick pans. Now eggs on the other hand I've still got some work to do when it some to doing omelets without haven't it ripping apart on the first one and stuff.
ok i'm calling you out .... no butter in the pan with the pancake wrong ... then you won't get the edge all crispy and texture difference will not exist meaning boring pancakes ...
I just typed the same thing, pancakes without crispy edges are sad.
Yep, came here to rant about this. Now I don't need to.
