1 00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:06,030 Welcome you all to this new video tutorial. Today we're going to learn how to prepare the 2 00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:12,990 best pancakes you've probably ever eaten from scratch. They can be eaten for breakfast or for 3 00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:19,949 brunch with as many syrups and toppings as you're able to come up with. These are some examples 4 00:00:19,949 --> 00:00:29,260 but try to be as creative as you can. Pancakes are an American classic. They have been cooked 5 00:00:29,260 --> 00:00:36,780 since the stone age 30 000 years ago researchers have even found pancakes inside the stomach of 6 00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:44,939 odd city icemen which are human remains dating back 5 300 years so now we know a bit of their 7 00:00:44,939 --> 00:00:54,560 history we are ready to start cooking for this recipe we just need six basic ingredients 8 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:09,560 200 ml of milk, 1 big spoon of sugar, a bit of salt, 1 egg, 10 grams of powder and 150 grams of flour. 9 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,560 We are gonna begin by mixing the solid ingredients. 10 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:24,060 We've got here in the bowl the flour, we add the powder and then 1 big spoon of sugar. 11 00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:27,420 Once we've got them all together, we are going to mix them. 12 00:01:28,379 --> 00:01:35,000 I recommend you that when you are finished, you make a little hole in the center in order to drop here the egg. 13 00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:39,480 Once we've got it, it's time to open it. 14 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:44,540 Blend it with the previous mix. 15 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:51,840 It's a common mistake to add first the milk, and this absorbs the flour and the egg doesn't mix completely. 16 00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:02,069 so I recommend you to follow this order. Add the milk and then the salt. The 17 00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:06,629 quantity of salt and sugar depends on how sweet tooth you are or the topping 18 00:02:06,629 --> 00:02:11,330 you wish to add them. Keep mixing until you have a homogeneous lump-free dough. 19 00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:16,689 Make sure that you mix all the flour on the sides of the bowl. If not we will 20 00:02:16,689 --> 00:02:24,639 find flour bubbles while eating. Now that we have it ready we are going to get 21 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,620 them cooked in a frying pan or a friddle. Make sure you don't forget to put a chunk 22 00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:36,520 of butter over the surface, like this we ensure they don't get sticked. We wait a 23 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,620 few seconds for it to melt and then spread it through all the surface. 24 00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:49,620 Having got a level, put up dough and put it on the pan. I recommend you to use a 25 00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:55,199 big pan so that you cannot do several at once. Repeat the process as many times as 26 00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:57,139 as you have got space to. 27 00:02:57,139 --> 00:03:00,919 In this case, I'm going to do two at a time. 28 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,259 Let's just wait. 29 00:03:02,259 --> 00:03:04,500 In the mid-time, did you know that countries 30 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,659 such as the United States, Australia, 31 00:03:06,659 --> 00:03:08,919 or the United Kingdom have a popular day 32 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,819 called the Pancake Day or the Fat Tuesday? 33 00:03:11,819 --> 00:03:14,960 Yeah, it takes place the last day before Lent, 34 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,879 the traditional 40 days of abstinence 35 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,520 before Easter by Christians. 36 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,860 Huge supermarkets, as CVS or Walmart, 37 00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:30,120 affirmed that the previous day their sale on pancake doubled its size. 38 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,180 Coming back to our pancakes, when you see they have these bubbles on them, it's time 39 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:36,139 to turn them over. 40 00:03:36,139 --> 00:03:42,360 Now just keep waiting again for the other side to get this appealing golden color. 41 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,780 It's time to bring out our most creative side. 42 00:03:45,780 --> 00:03:50,180 We are going to turn our brown dough into colorful pancakes. 43 00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:52,520 For this we just need food coloring. 44 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,139 I'm going to use pink and blue in this case as an example, but do it with as many as you 45 00:03:58,139 --> 00:03:59,139 want. 46 00:03:59,139 --> 00:04:01,240 I'm sure Kit will love it. 47 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,099 The amount of edible ink we add determines the color. 48 00:04:05,099 --> 00:04:10,580 If you want it to be bright and intense, add more than if you want them to be pale. 49 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:13,840 A common mistake is not to blend enough. 50 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,040 This is because the surface quickly gets colored, but the one deep inside doesn't. 51 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,500 So please make sure all turn the same color for them to be perfect. 52 00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:30,120 Oh, something I should have mentioned earlier is that getting them color does not change 53 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:36,939 at all the taste of our pancakes, they will be delicious regardless the color they have. 54 00:04:36,939 --> 00:04:41,920 Now let's come back to the ones we had left on the pan. 55 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,079 Here we've got them. 56 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:49,399 When they have the same color on the back and on the front, they mean it's ready to 57 00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:51,459 be taken over. 58 00:04:51,459 --> 00:04:54,759 Now we need to repeat the process with the colored ones. 59 00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:00,300 There is no change, the texture keeps equal and so does the final result. 60 00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:05,120 If you feel that they are starting to get stuck to the pan, you can add more battery 61 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,980 as we did in the beginning. 62 00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:10,399 In my case, I'm not going to do it. 63 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:13,800 Meanwhile, let me tell you an anecdote. 64 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:20,680 In 1994, did you know that a British company created, in Manchester, the biggest pancake 65 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,199 ever seen? 66 00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:27,199 It had 2.5 centimeters deep and 50 meters of diameter. 67 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:32,399 Imagine, more than a hundred eggs were used to prepare it. 68 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:37,019 And finally, here we have our fancy pancakes. 69 00:05:37,019 --> 00:05:42,300 If you had followed carefully this recipe, in the end you should have something like 70 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:43,639 this. 71 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:47,639 I hope you have liked the video and that it has been useful for you. 72 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,639 See you soon with new recipes!
