Pancakes 101

***BASIC PANCAKES, FEEDS 4-6 PEOPLE***

2 tbsp (28g) butter
2 tbsp (25g) sugar
1 egg (just use the yolk if you're making a half-batch)
2 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
1 3/4 cups (400 ml) milk or buttermilk
1 tsp (6g) salt
1 heaped tbsp (16g) baking powder [or 1 tsp (6g) baking soda + 2 tsp (8g) baking powder if using buttermilk — this is different from what I say in the video, but it's better]
1.5-2.5 cups (200-300g) all-purpose flour
Additional butter for the pan

Melt the butter without getting it too hot, mix in the sugar, then beat the egg in thoroughly. Mix in the vanilla, milk/buttermilk, salt and baking powder/soda. Start mixing in a conservative amount of flour, then keep mixing until you get the thickness you want. The thicker the batter, the thicker the pancake. Be sure to not over-mix — the batter should be full of small lumps. Let the batter rest a few minutes while you heat up your pan.

Heat your cooking surface of choice (I use nonstick) to a low-moderate heat and smear it with butter. When the butter is just starting to brown, pour on the pancakes. When there are lots of bubbles on the surface, flip the pancakes and cooking until they look cooked, then cook them another minute before removing to a cooling rack.

Me: So he seasons his syrup, not his pancakes?

Made this for my mom this morning. I’m 12. They came out so fluffy and tasty. Thanks Adam!

"Why I flip my pan, not my pancake"

Adam is the kind of guy to throw sugar at his burning house because it will “enhance browning”

I love Adam's anecdotes about what his dad taught him- so sweet

I recommend simply safe. Everything, except the lock. Last thing you want is someone silently hacking your door. If someone tries to lock pick your doors, they will look suspicious and be loud. Not to mention a bump-key safe lock will keep you protected from most thiefs.

I'm 16 have have just started learning how to cook. I just made my first batch of pancakes! You just earned a new subscriber.

For anyone wanting an even coloring on the pancake with no "leoparding", use a very light brushing of vegatable oil or olive oil on the pan. Butter creates lighter spots while a thin coating of oil creates the look of a perfectly brown pancake.

You dont know me and you're not my dad!

“Sodium bicarb at the brits would say” nah, we say “bicarbonate of soda”. We enjoy all the extra syllables.

I’m 12 years old, and as a kid, this recipe is suuuper simple and easy for me. I made pancakes for my parents and they really liked it. The trick for checking if the pan is too hot or not works really well! The pancake tasted really good! Thank you for the recipe, I really like your channel!

Here is the dutch way of keeping your pancakes warm: you get a pan and fill it halfway with water. Bring to a boil and put a flat dinner plate on top of the pan. Keep the water simmering inside the pan. This plate will get very hot. You just layer your pancakes on top of this hot plate and put the lid of the pan on top of the stack of pancakes. When you are done you just take the plate with the hot stack of pancakes and put it on the table!

Hearing a grown ass man genuinely tell an entire nation "don't @ me" really warms my heart in the strangest of ways

As a British person who has never made american style pancakes before, this was very helpful. I was surprised by how much the lumpiness of the batter turned out to not matter at all, and how completely different they turned out from what I'm used to. I probably prefer them if anything.
