TRYING TO MAKE JAPANESE FLUFFY PANCAKES (GONE HORRIBLY WRONG!)

[vickygonzalezvega]

When baking measurements need to be exact and if it says sift DO NOT skip that part. Makes a big difference.

"we're gonna add half a teaspoon"
adds half the can* 
LMAO TRISHA pls get measuring spoons

[StardustAsia]

If you consider your spoon a tablespoon, why did you measure half of it as a teaspoon. Lol get measuring cups girl! It will eliminate your problem of not measuring correctly

During the egg beating scene my hubby was like "WTF is that sound, are you watching a jack hammering video?" Noooo just Trish baking 😂🥰

Trish do you not realize a regular “spoon” isn’t a teaspoon? It’s a tablespoon. You say a teaspoon of something and put a huge tablespoon of it. Use measuring cups.

Sifting does make a difference. Your pancake texture comes out fluffier instead of hard as a rock

[rosiecarlo]

Mama having the yoke fall in there was 100% absolutely the reason the egg whites didnt fluff. Baking is science and any little ingredient that doesnt belong will absolutely screw up your recipe,

Measuring spoons and measuring cups are your friend in the learning process. I used them until I got used to measurements, now I eyeball 80%of things. It gets easier the more you cook/bake. I also never sift anything. I know, I’m terrible, but my recipes still turn out (the ones that needed sifting and I didn’t) Your pancakes looked good though!

[marciaedgell]

If yolk gets in whites it will not air up like it should. I agree that following the recipe needs to be followed exactly especially for these pancakes 🥞. Good learning process I guess.

When baking you have to use the correct tools, correct measurements and do it the way they show you in the can not wing you bake is very entertaining....when you started cooking it was the same ...practice makes it better....cooking is alittle bit more trying....this was a DIFFICULT RECIPE TO START BAKING WITH 😊💜

u can't use a regular tablespoon like you did, u have to get proper measuring spoons. i see people on youtube all the time, usually beginner cooks, picking up a regular tablespoon like you did, and thinking it is the equivalent of an actual measuring spoon, which it is not. you probably put in more flour than needed, that's why the batter was too thick. u also probably didn't have enough egg whites. eggs all differ in size and some have more whites in them than others, so these literally have to be measured out by grams with a little weigh scale thing . these types of pancakes have to be done by precision measurement on all ingredients including the egg yolks and whites. get a recipe that specifies that so that you will have enough whites. your folding technique wasn't good either, u lost a lot of air. it's the whites that make it fluffy, so you have to be extremely precise with that. also, the type of pan was wrong, although i think it would have worked okay if other things were correct. I think u put too much butter in the pan and the heat was too low...the water at the end is to create steam which helps them rise. I saw no steam coming up from your pan when u put the water in, which is probably because your heat was too low. these are not the easiest pancakes to make, but a few tips help them be more successful. i made these once and they were fairly fluffy, although they never looked like ones i've seen in videos, which tells me this is a challenging thing to make at home.

Girl you need to get proper measuring spoons.

[aj]

You should re-do this and commit to being precise. Convince yourself that you can do it!

[sarah]

Girl, it'd be quicker to tell you the things you did right! The recipe was doomed from the start when you got the yolk in with the white

[janiskroeker]

It would be a good idea to use measuring spoons. Some recipes need exact measurements.

[ravennalopes]

1- So actually a little bit of egg yolk in your egg whites does make a difference. You need to make sure there are no yolks in your egg white when beating them. That's why they never frothed up. There's no secret to these other than making sure there are no egg yolks in them.
2- you do need to sift your dry ingredients if you want soufflé pancakes. For regular pancakes you don't need it as much.

[ayshabee]

Trish, you can wing cooking but u can't wing baking. The measurements and tools have to be exact for it to work

[blonde]

Baking is a science, imo harder than cooking. You need to be precise in your measurements

[ddk]

Beating whites into a foam is quite difficult, there is a second of difference between fluffy and flat... It took me more than 15+ tries until it looked similar to how chefs do it.
