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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
those plugs are harder to pull out than your basic cord style that plugs into the back of a monitor or tv. seems to be for washability way more than safety to be easily pulled out.(sorry i can't stop this after finishing the previous sentence) sadly your mom wasn't easier to pull out of either.
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.
@@fanndx, 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.
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
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.
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.
That’s right, and don’t use some weird oil spray, use some real butter. I go as far as to apply butter as soon as I lift and flip each pancake so both sides get the same buttery treatment. I don’t cut my butter, I just hold it by the parchment paper, and peel it back till I get to the end of it that way I can apply it across the entire pan really fast.
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.
16:25 Counterargument, you actually _can_ mix your batter the night before (if you're not using a premix) you just need to leave the baking powder until shortly before frying it up. Then you just need to rest it for 10 or so minutes, which you can use to gently heat your pan. The long rest is more for the flour than the leavener, so it has time to properly hydrate and lose that flour-y flavour and texture. If you're into whole grain pancakes, overnight (or at least a few hour) rest is a total game changer, since the bran takes a lot longer to soak through and soften to keep it from being unpleasantly "scratchy". Always thoroughly soak your whole grains for anything you're making, and your kids will eat it too.
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.
@Agent_MrKrabs buttermilk is the liquid left over after creaming butter. It's more acidic than regular milk, which is why regular milk with vinegar is a common substitute.
Yeah, and I don't put butter in the batter, so the cold milk isn't a problem, and I just use regular milk and it's not a problem, I guess I just use enough leavener and flour. I also don't use egg, it tastes better without 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. 😉
That's so cute and it reminds me of how in my family we call someone's first kid "the first pancake" because the first pancake is always a little weird. And I'm my parents' first pancake. 😂
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
The dutch idea of a pancake is quite different to the american one. The basic concept is the same of course, but ours are very thin compared to the average one you'd find in the US. almost like a crepe to your eyes, probably. BUT, in terms of surface area, they are much bigger. Generally just the size of the pan. That's right, we use regular frying pans and make one pancake at a time, unless we're using multiple pans.
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!
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.
In Czech republic we have two rypes of pancake. One is called Palacinka. Flat wide made on oil, filled wirh jam. It have no brown same collor. We hate those US style ones. And second one we calked Livanec. It is small, round, high and fluffy. Served with fresh blueberries and saur cream.. There is special pan with 7 small holles for Livanec pan cake sryle. Both are much better than rhe flat dry unified brown ones. I recvomed to you to find and check receipe for both.
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.
Oh, hey, Babish has the same griddle as I do. And someone in the studio read the instructions and put foil under it, because the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to put decent heat shielding on the underside!
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!
I always do my pancakes with eggs, flour, milk, sugar and a pinch of salt. They're relatively thin (not nearly as thin as Crêpes, but also not at thick as American ones) and are as big as the pan I'm using.
6:56 you can wash the griddle without exposing the mechanical parts to water. If the rheostat breaks you can replace it without having to replace the entire griddle. There are a ton of reasons that disconnects.
i always use pearl milling (formerly aunt jemima) pancake mix but ignore anything that says just add water. i use the ratio one part dry mix, half part milk, one egg, and one tablespoon of veg oil. generally makes around 4 medium pancakes. fantastic easy pancakes with very little measurements.
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. 👍🏻
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.
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!!!
I don't use either, I just use regular milk. Dunno what he's talking about. If you use the right ratios of flour and leavener you don't get short pancakes.
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!
What about additions to the batter? Chocolate, blueberries, bananas, maybe even peanut butter? I'm guessing the options are find a recipe to work with, or trial and error it.
when adding stuff to my pancakes esp fruit or chocolate chips i just put them in after pouring the batter in the pan to make sure each pancake has a decent amount of stuff in it
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
When I was a kid my parents used to go into the bedroom to make pancakes. I was always really jealous because they sounded like they were having such a great time.
