In Jamaica we simply call these "fritters."
Many households will eat these as is, add codfish, escallions, banana or simply salt and nothing else.
Char Wright that sound delicious.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
That's what we call them in the U.S. at least the poor folk, anyway. My mom grew up eating them with ketchup! Glad to hear someone else knows of fritters!
Is it good?
Sophie N we're Jamaican, of course it's good lol
My children are allergic to dairy and eggs. So I modified a depression-era pancake recipe and now it's my go-to recipe. Much easier than attempting to use egg replacer in other recipes. A depression-era applesauce cake recipe has become my go-to quick bread recipe so one day it's banana bread another day it's pumpkin bread without having to feel like a potions master modifying a recipe too much.
My daughter is also allergic to the same things! As soon as I saw this I thought it would be great quick breakfast for her .
Oh! Applesauce would be good with these.
I didn't think ground flaxseed was that hard to use as an egg replacer. I use it just for the fiber boost, I'm not even allergic to eggs. It's a good binder and you need so little it's cheap.
Can I have the recipe please?
J K The ground flaxseed is really good for a binder. Doesn’t work well as an egg replacer if you are look for a fluffy texture or a rise.
I never knew it was considered as “poor”. I do it because I’m allergic to eggs 😅
I'm allergic to eggs too! 😞
Awww i feel so sorry 😞

Forced catch phrases are sooo cringe.
Please stop being cringey, it makes you dumb
and uses a T-shirt what does it say "i like you just the way you are"
Looking through the replies, misery does love company huh? Imagine just trying to make someone feel better to have people be rude over the littlest things.
humans are always rude, thats why we deserve to be extinct.

Lol me too!!
Same! 😂

same lol everyone knows THAT song
Sigh. Guess I'm having pancakes for dinner tonight. Can't wait to try this out.
Please, don't forget that Honey or Syrup..///
@@-amosc.presley-7192 Making them now. Using a lot less sugar and definitely planning on trying it with different things like maple syrup and another with ham and cheese.
@@grat2010 ,Why do I think you is making me so, hungry? It's all in my head. ha!ha!ha!
Amos Presley or jam and powdered sugar

My 92 year old grandmother has Recipes and memories from the great depression. The one that she still makes regularly is called One and One and it is a frozen fruity dessert. I have sent an image of the handwritten recipe to your Instagram.
I hope she features it in a video someday!
Thank you! I'll look for it. 📝
Was your granny a 2livecrew fan by chance? lol
Would love to see that Emmy!
@@mitchellgardner2193 - LOL you stoopid for that. 😂🤣 that song too nasty for granny.👵
When my son was young and we didn't have much money we'd buy the big bags of frozen half dollar pancakes, and eat them sandwiched with peanut butter and jelly. One bag lasted well over a week and back then a big ol' bag was like $1.50 (now they're only about $3.50). Really cheap and tasty quick breakfast with an egg if you've got it 💜
@Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen so cool 💜 great minds think alike, lol 😆
@@teridoster5840 my mum used to cook these pancakes up a lot when we were hungry water sugar and flour no milk powder like what Emmy used
Yeah, we've been thru 2- or 3-ingredient hard times. When in a pinch flour and water make a lovely unleavened flat bread that you can season with any spice you may happen to have... even if just salt and pepper. Bread, no matter what grain cooked with and whether leavened or unleavened - is certainly the "staff of life". I'm pretty sure there's a type of flatbread for every culture on earth. Humans are very resourceful when we need to be
Yes! In India we have "flatbreads" in every range of the budget, they can be made with whole wheat or regular flour, or even ground rice and mung beans.
Bread is cheap filler food with low nutritional value. It's a staple because it's historically a last resort.
That unleavened bread has many names. Roti/ Chapati, Lavash, Tartan, Tortilla, Lagana, Pita, Piadina etc.
It's your basic flatbread enjoyed throughout the world.
@@lauren8627 You are wrong, ancient wheat and grains used to have loads of protein and were generally far more nutritious. Other grains were also used in addition to wheat. It's why people could actually live off it for a long periods of time.
@@Nikki_the_G yeah, modern white flour wasn't the norm in early agricultural society.
I feel like they’d be really good as a wrap for something else. Like some spicy slow cooked pork to offset the sweetness
Mmmm sounds nice....
Or some good spiced up chicken
Nice idea sounds yummy.
Disgusting
@@nowonmetube what is
Thanks for this Emmy. My Mom used to make grilled cheese sandwiches, even when we couldn't afford cheese or the gas money to stand in line for it. It was just miracle whip between two pieces of toasted bread. She had a great name for them also. She called them toasted nothings...
Mamas are clever. 🧡
😢😢😢
Jonathan Taylor
Well she obviously wasn’t making grilled cheese sandwiches when you couldn’t afford cheese then...
One of my best memories of my asshole middle brother is him making me a miracle whip sandwich when I was about 3. It was nice to get positive attention instead of him literally trying to kill me. I actually can't think of another positive moment I've ever had with him in 44 years.
Government cheese! It was actually really delicious in cooking.
I looovvveeee the 'Hard Times' series! I always talk to my 93yo Grandpy about you, and your videos. He loves to hear about it, and so do I.
Aww...I'm happy to hear that my videos are a worthy subject for Grampy's discussions. 🧡
Just wanted to say that I learn just as much from comments as i do from these videos. I would never think that a bread/pancake could be made from plain flour & water.
This information is very valuable because we never know what the future holds. Thank you to everyone who comments. 😊🌺
You make dumpling shells with a humble recipe of flour, salt, and water. Mix ratios and knead until you get the consistency of a supple earlobe, flatten tiny balls of dough, fill with whatever filling you have, close up the dumpling and pan fry/boil/steam them and you have nice delicious comfort food
@@Call-me-Al would that work with cream cheese? Because there's various flavored cream cheeses you can get. I used them to make cream cheese wontons that I then deep fried.
I like these "hard times" recipes because they remind me of my grandparents' stories of life during the Depression. These recipes would be great for beginners, since they use minimal ingredients, and no specialized equipment...
Also great ways to learn to cook. They’re all such basic recipes that they leave room for you to explore different modifications. More complicated recipes are intimidating for beginners, but something as basic as this is easy to experiment with. For this recipe in particular, I’d try maybe filling with lemon curd and marscarpone cheese and rolling it like a cannoli, and dusting with confectioner sugar.
These “Poor Mans” pancakes are what we used to just call pancakes. Lol
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your content Emmy. I absolutely adore watching you experiment in the kitchen whilst giving us all ideas.
😍😍😍
I’ve been watching your videos all day. I haven’t been feeling/ doing well lately, you are so comforting to watch. You remind me of when my grandma and I would watch cooking shows together. If she was still here I would show her all your videos.
I'm glad my videos can offer some comfort to you. 💜
Hard Times is my favorite series
Mine as well. I save every video to my favorites because I plan on eventually making them all.
I like the army rations and tasting food from around the world

Mom use to make something like this. But just flour and water. Sugar was used with water and mapleen flavor to make syrup. This was during the 1960s .
It's not easy to find but I've bought mapleen
In Ecuador, they make these too. Except without sugar. Just flour and water. Called torrejas
I have a friend who lives in Quito, he's told me so much about the food there. I can't wait till he comes back home to Scotland for a visit, he's going to cook for us!
@@cherade99 that's cool! I wouldn't call torrejas exactly a delicacy though. Lol
woahhh my middle name be torrejas guess im bread
That sounds like paratha in India
I'm experiencing this weird mix of being thankful for your *Hard Times* series,
and hoping it doesn't become too relevant to more people in the near future...
Truly. That's such a somber feeling and one I share.
Me too, my friend,... me too!
Unfortunately, I'm not feeling too optimistic about that last part...
I stocked up on flour because of the virus, so I'm going to be using this recipe to make sure I have enough food. We have no idea how long this will last so I'm watching these videos to be prepared
The foresight in this post is astronomical
You are seriously one of my favourite youtubers right now. So full of love and personality, never stop doing what you’re doing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!

I am always amazed by the comments of these videos talking about their own hard times. I am so privileged to have fresh food and a warm home.
I remember having those when I was a kid in the early '60's. Parents couldn't afford much but Mom did the best she could. When we did have real pancakes (When the money was better), one of the best toppings I ever had was brown sugar spread on the pancake and then lemon juice squeezed over it all. It was so good. I still like making it like that once in awhile.
I'll give that a try tomorrow, sounds amazing!
Brown sugar spread? How is that made?
@@setomie996 I assume just by whipping together softened butter and brown sugar, I was planning to add cinnamon too.
@@SilverHawk214 Ooo that sounds good! I'll try that, ty!
@@setomie996 No Problem!
These pancakes look like the moon!
AJ I like your profile picture of skeletor 😃
Hehehe me too since i was a child
While I'm saying this my mom made this pancake
Give them to kids and call them "astronaut pancakes," they'd go nuts lol.
Ah! I remember having these. I grew up in a family that didn't have a stable income and later on, no income at all. That, and I made a simple "recipe" for what we called pita bread, but it was more of a.. wierd flatbread. we ditched the sugar and just put flour and water until it reached a thick, plyable consistency, patted them flat, and put them on a fire! They're really good with cinnamon sugar 😋
That truthful story of yours is making me so, hungry to be exact..///
My grams used to make hers that way for us grandkids but instead of over a fire she would fry with a little fat and serve them with butter and cinnamon and sugar. Reminds me of elephant ears.
@@Artistichobbitt that's what they tasted like! Heck, I could never put my finger on what they reminded me of.
@@ClowncarSupreme I'm glad you recognize it too. It's just me and a couple of cousins that remember them like that and it's nice knowing others out there who share that experience and memories. That's what I love about Emmy's hard times episodes. Connecting the community on here even more. I love seeing the different things she makes and go "yeah, I remember those times" to learning about others experiences and recipes.
@@Artistichobbitt it was a really hard time in my life and there was so much that made everything seem inescapable and depressing, but I'm also glad that someone else remembers this o: I honestly thought I was the only one who knew about it lmao 😂 everyone else I've talked to has never tried it.
I'm pretty sure we used Bisquick to make our pancakes, but I do remember my dad making "sugar water" to use instead of syrup. I don't remember it being thick, so I think he just boiled up some sugar in water. It tasted good. But anything sweet usually does.
Well, syrup is just very thick sugar water.
oh wow, my mum used to make these pancakes for us. yep, we didn't have a lot of money but we never went hungry...and actually we loved this
Those are delicious! When I have nothing to eat in my home in hard times I used to make those pancakes but without that much sugar, just 2 tablespoon
I’d make these when I’d run out of eggs in grad school. I found a recipe for “vegan crepes” that called for using soy/oat/nut milk but I’d use cows milk or water. I’d fill some with cheese and put butter or powdered sugar on others. Basically whatever I had on hand.
Tea Jay
I just bought some strawberries on sale today to make my famous swedish pancakes (crepes) with cut fresh strawberries rolled up inside of them, topped with powdered sugar. Sooooo gooood! They are fabulous just to eat by themselves even, but the strawberries inside truly make it taste like a gourmet desert. :)
I also bought some oat milk to make them with haha. I normally used dairy, but I have been trying to make the switch to oat milk since dairy isn’t good for us. I was shocked how good the oat milk tasted too!
It is just milk, eggs, flour, granulated sugar, and a bit of butter for the crepes! That’s it. :)
Years ago my mom found a recipe for pancakes using:
1 egg 🥚
1 spoonful of peanut butter 🥜
1 banana 🍌
They tasted more like pancakes than I had expected. 🥞
You can also do it without peanut butter! I regularly do a 1 egg, 1 banana, chocolate chip pancake
@@nathanasher1945 Same, I love making those, they pack alot of protein and are quite healthy for a sweet treat.
Sorta sounds like the pancake version of an Elvis Sandwich
(see: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/138045/elvis-sandwich/ ),
but made w/o either bread, flour or bacon there!
Nathan Asher bananas are highly starchy, and quite sweet. I’ve never tried it, but I bet you could use banana as a substitute for flour and sugar for some more recipes too. I bet it would probably work for cookies too.
This is what I used to do when I was younger. Then I developed an allergy to bananas :/
This makes me think of my childhood, we were very “poor” so my mom would make these . She would also make something we started calling mayonnaise bread to go with whatever kind of beans we had. The one thing I still make from back them is pea patties! They are so yummy, everyone I have made them for now eat them the day after they make a pot of black eye peas. I love when you make things like this ! Thank you!
I would love to hear what mayo bread and pea patties are!
@@Inanedata same
Would love to know how to make Pea Patties
Inanedata Same
I'm intrigued by the pea patties. Would love to hear more about them!
Hi Emmy! I love this series because one could argue that we are living in times of hardship in 2020. I may have to add a few ingredients, but I can definitely work with these extremely budget-friendly recipes. Keep being amazing, and blessings to you and your family.
I have made these pancakes many times without knowing it’s a thing because that’s all I had lol
Hard times in 2020? 🤔
Hard times in 2020? Whatchoo smokin?
One COULD argue that but one WOULD be wrong
@@Andovarius You say that like poverty doesn't exist lmao.
I did this all the time staying with my broke mother and her broke boyfriend after my relationship broke down and I became homeless. We literally lived on whatever we could find in the yard and buying lizards or random shut off kids at the side of the road at times. I just rummaged around and was like fuck it, flour and sugar will do without any other stuff.
Thank, the Lord_ that for him you have made it this far & no time for turning back..///
What country?
Can you explain what you mean by "buying lizards or random shut off kids at the side of the road at times" ?
@@BestCosmologist Yeah, I'm thinking she ate lizards or babies or something. Lol so confused
@@niandraladie2953 i thought that too
Emmy, if you get a chef’s ring and use it to make a burger patty from the Mac & cheese then pour the batter into the patty and cook it both sides to bind it together I think it would make a more substantial snack than just placing the M&cheese on the top. Just a simple variation from the UK. Cheery bye and happy eating.
Sounds good, very good.
I love this idea. My kids will go crazy. I just think a less sweeter batter would be better. Could use this for a school snack
I was wondering how eggs would be seen as expensive, since during the poor times, a few chickens in the backyard, provided lots of cheap eggs, for the price of chicken feed, and lots of different little things they like to eat, like any worms they come across, such as when your digging plots for your vegetables...
...then I realized that that most people don't have chickens...and apartment living people, don't have backyards. 😮😮😮😮
Chickens are not giving eggs in winter. :-)
poor pancakes = winter pancakes in the old times.
And you could sell eggs
@W S I think that chickens on Cuba will give eggs the whole year.
@@MilwaukeeWoman true.
@@MilwaukeeWoman As long as the hens are in there production of eggs time of the year. Plus, some hardly produce at all during the year.
I love thin pancakes anyways I’ll need to try this!!
Me too!!!🙌💖💚
I'm feeling the same way you do, also..///
Yes, they're so tasty! The ones i grew up on (crêpes) and still my fave
I think a savory dish with theses would be great.
These are the pancakes I eat everyday-
Your dentist must be happy
They eat better than that in 3d world countries.
They look like the usual british style pancake. We in the UK have thin pancakes made with eggs, flour, milk or water. No sugar in the batter. But you add sugar, lemon juice, nutella or golden syrup over them. We also have a thing for tossing them in the frying pan to turn them over, something not everone can do without the pancake folding in the pan or going on an excursion elsewhere in the kitchen instead of back in the pan. We also can use the same batter in the oven to make Yorkshire puddings, which is usually served with a roast meat dinner & gravy although it too can be served as a sweet dish with Golden syrup or jam/jelly. But the thick buttermilk pancakes you have in the sates are not really what we think of as Pancakes, although they are available in the stores more now and the scots have a smaller varient on the US style pancake. Also the trick to making them crispier is really hot pan & grease/oil or butter so the fry in the oil. You can't toss them though if you put a load of oil in the pan. As you'll get hot splattering.
In my family, here in Brazil, we mostly do the savory version when we don't have bread or want to eat something different for a snack! It's really interesting to know that this recipe is known in other countries! I thought it was something my mom came up with lol
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's day emmy!
I've only ever made pancakes with egg, flour and milk. I've never put any kind of raising agent in and certainly no sugar. The batter is very versatile and can be fried into pancakes for sweet or savoury toppings, or roasted in fat to make Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire pudding is traditionally eaten with roast beef, but can also be eaten with cream and golden syrup. The same batter can be used for toad in the hole and clafoutis.
This is the only way I know how to make them too
European pancakes vs American pancakes. They have the same name but they certainly hit different spots
Yorkshire puddings with gravy BEFORE the roast beef. I got caught out years ago when at somebody's house (in Yorkshire)and a Yorkshire pud was put in front of me, and then I was offered gravy. No thanks, I thought, I'll wait until I've got my beef and veggies too. Oops, everyone else started tucking in to their Yorkies and gravy and I felt too embarrassed to ask for the gravy having just refused it. I didn't realise that the beef, potatoes, vegetables etc were still to come. It all seemed really weird at the time. My Dad was a Yorkshireman so he should have taught me better!
@Geraldine Gregory, my dad was also a Yorkshire man and that's how we always ate our Yorkshire puds when I was a child. My own family prefer to have theirs alongside their beef, but it's nice to remember the traditional ways.
Emmy has to be the most loveable person ever
Emmy. My grandfather used to make poormans meatballs. My family are Italian American. They had to do this, during the hard times my grandparents and mom and my uncle had to endure during the great depression. The meatballs consisted of eggs, Italian seasoning, and breadcrumbs. He would often serve them either on their own [fried], or fried, then put into tomato sauce. They were delicious!
We would sometimes have pancakes with cream cheese and jam. I think it's a great combo.
If you have any sourdough starter, that's a good levening agent to add. All it is, is fermented flour and water.
Mary M how much would you add?
would you leave it to stay?
can you make your own sour dough starter?
@@daveabrams4463 sure
MiSaLiAnW how I’m too
Lazy to google it
My mom made these all the time when I was a kid, and I never realized these weren’t a normal food that everyone ate haha
*Dear Emmy,* 😃
Will you please try out the childhood snack that my mom made for myself and my siblings when we were growing up? This was a relatively simple recipe. I am Mexican American so this little snack is reflective of that. Lol.
My mom called them Banderitas (translation from Spanish to English is “Little Flags.”)
They were called Banderitas because the different colors of the condiments reminded her of a little flag.
We often ate these when we were outside playing, and we wanted a hearty little snack that we could run back outside with.
Recipe for “Banderitas”
(Little flags)
1: Flour Tortillas (you don’t necessarily have to make them, but at least purchase from a good Mexican restaurant that knows how to make them right).
2: 2 medium thick slices of all beef deli sliced bologna.
3: Mayo, Mustard, Ketchup
4: Thin sliced cheddar cheese (optional)
*Instructions:*
Heat the tortillas on the stovetop. If you have a comal or a pan it will work.
Put the two cold and fresh slices of bologna on the tortilla and and then add the mayo, mustard and ketchup. Then roll them up like taquitos. The cheese slices are optional. I didn’t eat them with cheese slices too often. Just sometimes. Maybe try both?
This is my moms snack that she made for us as kids. Now that my siblings and I are all grown up, a couple of us still enjoy the occasional Banderita.
❤️☺️
Thank you so much for the great content!
It’s going to be a great 2020! 🥳

Growing up we made crepes with one cup of flour, one egg and one cup of milk. When you double the recipe we always added a tablespoon of sugar and no one in my family knows why lol. Now that I'm an adult I realize how cheap those crepes were.
That would probably be good with some lemon juice & maybe a lil extra sugar to give it the ol dazzle dazzle
Hannah Marie or some sugar and cinnamon on top mm mmmm
In Hawaii we call it " Hawaiian pancakes!" We used less sugar in our recipe, only 1/3 of a cup. My mom also went by "feel" on thickness of batter. She served them with Guava jelly. I never really liked any kind of pancakes, even those. But now being older, I actually crave them from time to time. Mom is gone, so when I make em it don't taste the same. Thanks for the memories Emmy 💖
Im Jamaican my family would mix water sugar and flour with a dash of salt and called them sugar dumplin...the sugar makes them crispy and delicious 😋
My grandmother taught me lately how to make Blini (eastern European "carpe", although these came from eastern Europe), but in a vegan version (the secret ingredient is carrot juice). They are somewhat similar to crepes... but also to this recipe. A cool trick she uses is to put the access oil from the pan to the batter and mix well. I can drop here the recipe if anyone is interested.
Please do!
Ok.
Mix in a bowl:
- Around 30 ml carrot juice (juice from 1 carrot)
-150 ml plant based milk, but water or orange juice. can work as well.
- 4 full tbs of flour
1.5 tbs oil
0.5 ts salt
1-2 ts sugar
1 Ts of baking powder (optional)
Add plant milk till you get liquid consistency, because you want crapes, not pancakes.
Let the mix rest for 15 mins.
In a frying pan heat some oil, and drain the access to the blini batter, and mix well. If needed, add more plant milk, because the consistency may change after 15 minutes due to food chemistry.
Spill some of the better in the pan in a thin layer. When the upper layer looks dry, flip the blin.
Fry till the lower side is golden.
Ahh I love this! Watching Emmy's videos always makes me hungry!! 😋😅
Yes, indeed_
You just step right out there with the food adventures, Missy. I LOVE it. 💕
Man, it's funny how differently everyone views pancake standards. These look a smidge thicker than Swedish pancakes (and way thicker than crêpes). Swedish pancakes also never contain sugar in the batter, so I guess our version of this would be just flour and water, kind of like homemade papier-mâché glue.
A few more weeks and the "Hard Times" play list will just be the current times play list. 😂
Thanks, I'll have to remember this recipe for camping this summer, I think this would make good wraps, and taste better than bannock bread or trail bread I almost always carry honey so that might work. Great video, and a great idea, thanks again.
Love your channel Emmy!!! Thank you for all the love and time you put into your channel
I had those as a kid. My parents grew up during the depression. Loved them.
My grandma makes something similar, but more savoury. She puts in way less sugar, but adds salt and coconut.
I imagine these would be phenomenal with the addition of a little vanilla extract! It is also nice to see someone else who likes peanut butter on their pancakes... that goes well with pancake syrup, too, but I'm gonna have to try it with raspberry preserves next time I do something like this.
Sounds like a good idea but might need to half the sugar first before adding vanilla extract
Or if you want them savory you add leftover cold mashed potato and onion.
@@MilwaukeeWoman Latke territory is a flavorite place of mine.
@@pleyco Thanks, something to consider, for sure! I don't mind experimenting, especially when it involves something this easy to make. :)
You needed to try them with poor man syrup 2 c sugar 1 cup water bring to a simmer and stir till sugar is disolved add water till it is the thickness you want
Whenever I feel down, I watch your videos and I get better. You shine such a positive vibe. Thank you for that!
My abuela (RIP LELA) made me these on the weekends lol
I though she was about to go “peanut butter jelly time “ 😂🤣
Peanut, peanut butter. Jelly!
Back in the day, when canned corned beef was still poor people food, my mom would sauté some onion, stir in the beef, some chili, then add a can of kidney beans &serve over rice. Poor people's chili con carne. I get cravings for it every now & then.
I am definitely trying this in the morning!
So fun fact I'm from Barbados and we call these "bakes" and we fry these in oil. They're alot thicker but crisp on the outside and very chewy and sweet on the inside. I make mine with flour, sugar, evaporated milk and water but most people omit the milk but I think it adds a great flavour and something different😊 oh and the batter is a little thicker too
Cherise Isabella Same! We also fry them and my mom is from mexico and occasionally makes them and she calls them “ke-Kees” (keh-keys). Like you said, they’re thicker and crispy at the edges, that’s my favorite part!
These Poor Man’s Pancakes look 10 times better than my Middle Class Teen’s
Pancakes😭
Those damn middle class teens.
The joy on your face over this simple thing.
Ahhh, this is what life ought to be
These are how my mother used to make them! I always wondered what I was doing wrong, turns out I was adding too many things. Thanks for sharing this Emmy - I'll have to make these soon!
Lmbo!!! This is called Keke vai in Tongan! We eat it for breakfast with jam and butter if you have some lol
We call it “Hotcake” in the Philippines. It’s sold on the streets for cheap 👌🏼
Hey Emmy. Love all you do! When I was a little girl In the early 60's our sweet treat was sweetened condensed milk on bread. We were a large family with little money. My dad would also put sugar in seltzer water and tell us it was cream soda. I'm guessing it was a cheaper way to give us 8 kids another treat. 😊
Very intriguing. Surprised that it came out so good....but guess I shouldn't be. After all it's Emmy making them! Thanks Emmy😜🥞👩🔬
In Malaysia we call it "Lempeng" for these thin batter and if you make it thicker batter then deep fried them we call it "Cekodok" 😂
Ah, crepe pancakes or better known as Swedish pancakes ! I eat a bunch of these with just maple syrup. I like them because they are dense and feel good to chew into. 🤓
Ooh with warm cherry syrup from the jar of cherries.
Swedish pancakes do have eggs and milk in the batter though. The texture is very different
smiles.. real French crepes are made with water instead of milk tho.. that makes them more elastic..
Thanks for the link to 'I like killing Flies'- very enjoyable, what a character.
In the 90s, my mom made what she called “poor man’s hamburger helper” which was a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese with a half pound of cooked and crumbled ground beef. She made this when Kraft would go on sale for 10/$1 because actual Hamburger Helper never went on that low of a sale. Ground beef was much cheaper than it is now.
She made “poor man’s jambalaya” which wasn’t authentic at all but I still make it. 1 sausage link (10-12 ounces) sliced and fried in a pan. 1 can of chili beans poured over. Served over white rice. Simple and cheap and filling.
And finally, she made “poor man’s shepherd’s pie” which was cooked and crumbled ground beef. A can of sweet peas (drained) mixed in. She would put that in a casserole dish and top with homemade mashed potatoes and bake until crispy on top. Or we would just put the potatoes in a bowl and add the beef and peas over (when she was too tired to wait for the oven). My dad and us kids always put ketchup on it.
She was an excellent budgeter and couponer and kept us pretty well-fed on a really, really tight budget. Especially considering my dad being a super picky eater.
My mother made those many many years ago when I was a chils. We called them rushasha. I don't know if that's a real word lol but thays what we called them. I loved them.
I loved watching his documentary "l like killing flies". He had SO many menu items!
Right?!!
@@emmymade making? 📯
Does anyone have a link to his documentary? I couldn't find it in the description box. Thanks in advance

Omg, I love this so much! Yes, I think I would do less sugar, and would put butter in my pan (instead of oil).
When you said "fortune cookies"'. I thought of these being smaller and served with tea?
I’m hooked on this series! Anytime I see recipe videos from the pa dat I just have to watch them and then I can’t stop lol! I can’t wait to see what you make next! I love pancakes and crepes so this looks pretty yummy! Anything you can put peanut butter on is amazing imo!
I would think Nutella would be a good topping.
Tbh Nutella makes almost anything delicious
Nutella is nasty and totally bad for you. The fats in it turn your liver into pate. If you enjoy that flavor pallet you.should consider a healthier version of it, they definateiy exist. Or consider making your own.
@@akiramado9198 IT TURNS MY LIVER TO WHAT??!!
@@akiramado9198 ok boomer
@@akiramado9198 We know it's insanely bad for you, but like all garbage food, it's usually just a guilty pleasure. We're not drinking it like water😂
You should try making recipes from Clara's Kitchen, she cooks recipes from the Great Depression. RIP Clara 💔
Clara was fantastic. Her videos are a treasure.
First time commenting here. I only discovered your channel about two weeks ago. I've been watching your videos everyday since. Emmy, I simply love how you express yourself!
Em's videos are so peaceful and entertaining.
When I came home from school once, we had corn flakes but no milk, jelly but no bread, so I ended up eating corn flakes and jelly. Too sweet but I was hungry. Also we ate a lot of potato soup growing up.
I remember eating a ketchup sandwich when it was all we had.
Do you edit out your chewing sounds?! Or are you really the worlds quietest eater?! 🤣🤣
Michelle Fleming I can clearly hear them at 05:01 but I'm also using headphones
😂Not at all, I am a normal chewer, but my microphone picks up a lot of the action, so I reduce the volume a tad in post.
alice333 I usually watch on my phone so I really don’t hear her chewing at all, in any of her videos 🤣 or maybe everyone around me just eats super loud?!
emmymadeinjapan Aww, thanks for responding to my comment! :) Super sweet of you :) I think that I’m just used to hearing my hubby and kids chewing super loud that I forgot what the normal level is for chewing food LOL
Thank you for your poor man recipes Emmy. I have been incredibly broke at times in the past few years, not being able to afford to eat. Your videos help a lot. I had the ketchup soup you made a video about and it was pretty good. With milk it almost tasted like Campbell’s.
flour might be one of the most amazing things on the planet. you can do so much with just flour and water. it's so cool
I am always in awe of the creativity that hard time cooks possess.. Their ingenuity allowed abundance in a time of paucity.
2:20 That's not the excess Emmy that's literally all of it 🤭
Your hair looks so cute, and I love the Tee- shirt!! Great video Emmy!! ❤
I have a " hard time" recipe for you to try. Ammonia Cookies! They are made using ammonium carbonate (also known as Hartshorn, or in German it's pronounced hirschhornsalz) as the levening agent. I have a package of the hirschhornsalz I can mail you, along with the handwritten recipe from my grandmother. She wrote the recipe down for me over 30 years ago (she's been gone 20 years) and sent it to me along with a beautiful letter explaining how she remembered making these with her German grandmother in an old cast iron stove. These cookies are a MUST at Christmas! They do bake off an ammonia smell, but turn out with a flaky texture. They are reminiscent of z snickerdoodle, as they are sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar before baking. I'd love to share these family favorites with you. Where could I mail the recipe and ammonia packet? I'm also going to try and send this to you via Instagram, in case you don't see this comment.
If you cut the sugar back much you'd start affecting the texture. More rubber less crisp.
Maybe that's why potato pancakes work because the potato starch crisps up?
My notifications were late😞 Emmy- can’t find the link for Kenny?
She said desc
OwU have you looked in the description? I didn’t see it there
@@Graciesmom-gp5ng I see it there
OwU yep, it’s there now.
You can add some chopped up fruits or some left over sausage. This is really good for like a blank canvas and you just put some toppings.
Those pancakes look wonderful derf il, I love how thin they are and you can easily make crepes with them and add awesome fillings inside.
