BRITISH PANCAKES
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, has a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. It is the day before Ash Wednesday and is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. This day marks the last day before the liturgical season of Lent, characterized by 40 days of fasting, prayer, and penance leading up to Easter Sunday.
The tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is thought to have originated as a way to use up rich foods, like eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of Lent. During Lent, Christians would fast from certain types of food, including those considered luxurious or indulgent. Making pancakes was an efficient way to use these ingredients so they wouldn't go to waste during the 40 days of Lent.
"Shrove" comes from the old Middle English word "shrive," which means to absolve. This day was traditionally seen as a time for confession and absolution before the beginning of Lent.
The pancake-making tradition is most closely associated with countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and Canada. The pancake has become synonymous with the day due to the widespread custom of pancake making and eating.
An interesting and fun tradition associated with Pancake Day is the pancake race, which is believed to have originated in Olney, England, in 1445. The race involves participants running while flipping pancakes in a pan. According to legend, the tradition was born when a woman, hearing the shriving bell signaling the start of the service, rushed to the church while still cooking pancakes.
Pancake Day has evolved over the centuries from a religious observance to a community celebration, featuring activities like pancake breakfasts, flipping contests, and other festivities. Despite these changes, the day retains its original purpose of preparing for the solemn period of Lent and is a cherished tradition in many parts of the world.
Primarily, this recipe is English and eaten all over Britain - Scottish pancakes are more like the American style. Fluffy, using a raising agent. Eaten in Scotland. I hope this explanation explains why I call these British pancakes and not just English.

On special occasions we would serve these with a thickened fruit compote (blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apples etc.), finished off with a generous dollop of whipped cream. To die for!

You can get handheld electric mixers. I use one. Take out the beaters, and keep it in a cupboard, use with a high-sided bowl.
Many many years ago i got sick of the thick pancakes people liked so much here. I like the thin ones. They seem to taste better. So i started making them just like you are doing. I never realized i was making british pancakes. I was just making them the way i thought they should be. I do add a little butter on each one as it finishes cooking. I love butter on them. Next time i make them and my kids ask why they are so thin i will tell them they are british pancakes. I havent tried them with lemon juice. Some lemon juice and a little powdered sugar (granulated sugar is too gritty) and some butter would be perfect. Loved this video. Thanks!

In South Africa, we mix half a cup of sugar with 1 tsp of cinnamon and sprinkle that over each pancake as they are finished, stacked on a plate. That plate gets placed over a bowl of simmering water. The cinnamon and sugar melt into a mouthwatering sweet syrup, soaking each pancake individually. Roll each pancake up and enjoy a lovely sweet treat.

Yumm - a very similar to my handed down recipe but I don't turn them until the batter bubbles. This gives them a delicious crunch😋 When all our kids were home we ate them for lunches as they cooked - fresh lemon and a sprinkle of sugar every time.

My Welsh Grandmother and other's in Wales 60 odd years ago added currants or sultanas to the pancake after pouring into the frying pan so that they laid on top of the batter while cooking and then flipped them over to cook on the other side. When taken out of the pan and placed on a plate while still hot, she would then squeeze fresh lemon juice and sugar over them. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for your recipes I love old fashioned British cooking.

Pancake tradition is also here in New Zealand. I agree, they're just lovely with a lemon from our tree and sugar. Pikelets include baking powder and rise fluffy, (they can be eaten hot or cold, very versatile). Topped with mixed fruit is delicious. Looks like pancakes for breakfast over the weekend. Thanks Rik.

I’m from S Louisiana (Bayou); this 8:01 is exactly how my Maw-Maw taught me to make pancakes. closer to a crepe. I serve with a fruit compote or cane sugar syrup. Also in LA we eat King Cake (oval brioche w/sugar glaze) (puff pastry w/almond paste) Epiphany to Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday).

Delicious 😋 We make ours much the same way. I like to save a few and slice up some cheese, put onto one half of the pancake, a few spoons of baked beans & maybe some ham. I fold the pancakes or pancakes and heat until hot & the Cheese melted, add salt & done. It might be blasphemous to some, but that's my take on a more savory pancake.👍😋

A cottage cheese/egg mixture spread over crepe rolled, placed in baking dish and baked. Then sliced into bite size pieces. When we would come home from school and she was making cheese rolls (naleshnekea) she would let us sprinkle sugar on the crepe, roll and eat. What a treat!

There is one thing my mum made and if you have a recipe for that I would like to see you make it. It was a pork cheese.

@@BackyardChef HI Ric, all I can remember was she put pork hocks in a large saucepan all with its trotters. Like they did in those day boiled the hell out of it. When it was falling off the bones she took then out and chopped the meat into chunks after removing the skin . We didn’t mind the gristly bits as we all enjoyed that part. I know not everyone’s cup of tea but it was ours lol. She then put it back into the water / stock it was cooked in and boiled it again to reduce the liquid. After that it was but into a basin , weighted done with a saucer and left to cool and placed in fridge to firm up. It was served in wedges with malt vinegar chips . I don’t know if she put and flavourings in with the cooking water. She didn’t use those sort of things. A very plain but tasteful cook my mum was. I think the only spices she had in the cupboard was salt, pepper and gravy salt. I have tried to make it as my husband loves brawn which around here is minced god knows what. But I just can’t get it like hers. Perhaps the saying no one cooks better than your mum is true. Anyway hope this helps. I’ve introduced my brother to your channel and shared recipes to my mates. You are such a down to earth chef and I look forward to your vlogs. I follow John Kirkwood on you tube and like you is a straight forward , no nonsense person. He has written cookbooks which know sit in my bookcase. If ever you go down that route there is plenty of space on the shelf for them. If there wasn’t I would certainly make space. Anyway Ric thanks for all your hard work. Keep safe. Norma

We use self raising flour and sugar in the batter so the result is a thicker aerated and sweeter pancake. Usually served with jam and ice cream. Cheers mate.

Yours sound great as usual mate. The video was already made and scheduled. Hot cross buns is as well. You have some good fodder down there. Read everything too! I need you to answer my comments. I remember one of your replies, someone saying they would make sausage rolls with shortcrust pastry, obviously you had told them it should be puff pastry - however the next bit I loved "Let me know how that one turns out" Stuck with me, mate. Best, Rik

@@BackyardChef You’ve reached the point where I usually stop commenting on and ‘liking’ every video. My initial intent is to help people like yourself by manipulating the algorithm. You’re an enigma though in a few ways. We get along splendidly and you have reached high numbers exponentially quickly (which had nothing to do with me whatsoever but does with other channels). I’ve given you some real family recipes/insights which I don’t do as a rule. (I know you have kept the best of these up your sleeve but don’t know why and don’t care; they were given in the spirit of ’good recipes should be shared with everyone’ especially if they bridge cultural boundaries and differences and bring people together and I know you will eventually release them to your community in your own good time and way. It still pleases me to see how you seamlessly incorporate my input into your culinarily skill set; that’s exactly what I want to see everyone do. Cheers mate.

That is fascinating about the roots of the humble pancake- I go a bit posh on shove Tuesday I call them crepes 😂 o purchased a crepe plate it makes them perfect although it takes Practice using the T swivel thingy. Ric is it on your list of makes in the future to make pork pies with jelly in the pies. I feel as time has passed there doesn’t seem to be any tasty ones with a nice layer of jelly. I would really love to know how with your tips and tricks. Do your first one turn out good- by the 3 rd one they seem to be better.

According to a French chef-Crepier, to avoid lumps your liquid mass should be the same weight as your solid mass.

I learned about British pancakes during lockdown. I met a Yorkshireman on Tinder… don’t judge me too hard haha. We had video meals together. We’d pick something and make it. It was pancakes for his breakfast/my dinner(I’m in Canada) one night and I was confused, because I thought he made crepes

Rik, can you tell me what size pan you're using? Looks like 10" or 12" (25.4 cm or ~30.5 cm), but I can't tell for sure. Thanks in advance! Love having another pancake recipe in the repertoire!! Thanks!!

@BackyardChef Oh, thank you so much! I have a multi-use 11" pan that should work pretty nicely, then. (Coincidentally, I recently bought it, not only to stovetop braise or use it in the oven, but also to double my pancake-making capacity to 4 at once.🥞 I make American-style pancakes, and like to experiment with different grain, seed, and nut flours - oat, millet, sorghum, teff, flax, chia, almond, hazlenut, pecan, even coconut - served with different types of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. They often turn out more dense and hearty than fluffy, and that's OK with me!) I've never tried the English style of pancake before. Looking forward to it!

When you say they're a lot like crepes, what's the difference? I thought they're the same thing pretty much. I would be a bit worried about burning the butter as well since its smoking point is like 170C
