Cookery is just like they are talking about, a sort of time travel. These take them back to their childhood and those who made them childhood before. That is the wonderful thing about food connection with history. I can't wait to try to make these myself!!

I miss all the old episodes like this. So heart warming.(and stomach filling). :)

One of the best You Tube recipes ever

22nd September 2021 Hugh i am making your smoked pollock and cheese sauce for this evening so my 14 year old son can try a little taste of my childhood Great to see the old classics

UK pancake recipe for those that are asking: 1 cup of flour 1 cup of milk 1 egg. You can add a pinch of salt to taste if you like. Mixture should be quite runny, a bit thicker than milk and coat the back of a spoon, add water if it is too thick. The most important thing is to use a whisk to ensure that there are no lumps of flour in the batter. The batter can also be used to make Yorkshire Puddings.

Except the UK usually weigh their ingredients rather than measuring them. 🙂

Want complete episodes. My soul is aching for river cottage seasons and I have none 😭💔

I grew up in North America, but this looks darn good. Bizarre notion - twice-fried crêpe - but darn good.

Holy wowzers... it's a recipe I didn't know I needed until now...

I remember them. They were awesome. Right up there with Crispy Cod Fries.

LOL!!! I've never even heard of this product and I've been around. Eaten quite a bit. So much that I am a round. lol However, I don't think my curiosity has ever been piqued so much. Dying to try these now.

I should have eaten breakfast before watching this...soooo hungry now. :)

River Cottage Good idea! I'll visit the garden and see what I can throw together for a filling. :)) I

Just finished 2 of the Bacon chicken and sweetcorn Crispy Pancakes, absolutely fantastic, takes me back years.

Yesterday our Muslim neighbours brought us some food round for Ramadan and on there was too little beautiful crispy pancakes. I've not had them since i was a child and wow did they bring back the memories they was absolutely divine, so I'm here now trying to find out how to make them.

as a kid in the 80's/ early 90's i always got to choose what we had for dinner on my birthday and always chose crispy pancakes.

I love this! I would love to see everyone try their own versions of the same dish. Amazing :D

From Australia I have no idea what the guys are talking about when it comes to reproducing a childhood favorite, but I like the idea of a savoury folded-over pancake. I've used the fillings often, but I thinks the family would like the pancake alternative. Thanks gents. A great KZread find. (I have seen a few episodes of this show on Aussie TV. Obviously not enough!)

Yum!!! Cant wait to make these! My girls are going to love them!!

Love findus crispy pancake

Jeepers that is a total childhood classic! Straight from the freezer into the oven! But I think yours look A LOT NICER! Thanks guys :) x

I needed this tonight.

Outstanding looks tasty and overdue.

Well, this is basically the Top Gear of food... :D It's just being watched the same! :D

Hi Hugh. I a. So pleased to see you use a wooden spoon rather than the whisk that everyone is using for everything. Yes that how my mum made white sauce with a wooden spoon and that's what I use

Nicely done. England and the States have very different food memories from childhood. I've never seen this before in over 35 years of cooking. Blessings ChefMike

River Cottage A favorite childhood food memory would be my Mother's roast turkey with cornbread stuffing, a recipe originating from my Great Grandmother, who I remember fondly.

That's a roast which is also a fond childhood memory for uk kids but this is more like remembering when you ate pizza pops or something as a kid

These look SOOO good

OH DEAR you forgot the best one of all, the "chicken n mushroom" that was the one that hit the spot for me , nevertheless the ones you DID pick all brought back childhood memories. Many many many congrats to you all. My mouth was watering all the way thhrough that clip :)

I love your channel, it makes me feel good. Thank you then!

I find myself back here year after year

That looks amazing. Like a giant crispy empanada

Def going to try making some of those

Perfect!!! Thanks!

That really is fantastic!

I love crispy pancakes. I'm going to make this for lunch right now.

I'd never seen these before, I'm making them!

Bloody amazing boys.

i have never heard of crispy pancakes they look wicked nice

Boy o boy gonna try these sometime soon...

Just did them chicken/bacon and pollock/cheddar cheese but didn't had any pollock/haddock so used smoked cod instead...still amazing classic food

Definitely brings back nostalgia :D mouthwide open dripping with drool right now

Amazing, scrumptious looking proper English food! Good job on the video. Quick question Do you have the recipe for you pancakes? Thank you.

It's like an empanada......sounds good to me.

brilliant!

I have never heard of this. Very interesting. :)

Im watching this while eating frozen beef and Onion crispy pancakes, im jealous now

you are not wrong, just swap the pastry used for rissole with a pancake and you're away.

Tried some of the latest Findus offerings and they were really awful. I’m going to try Gill’s steak & kidney ones, they look awesome Thanks guys👍🏻

Wow,I've been subconsciously looking for this for YEARS ! I'm doing tender rib fillet roast leftover from last night with cheese, thyme and maybe a few veg like peas. Might chop some weeds I've foraged, wild rocket, wild lettuce ,parsley. A dash of chopped fresh chives....an egg ? This will be HUGE ! Thanks for sharing. Subbd.

Wow, I cook everything from scratch but this "childhood" food I always buy, now I will try it at home, thanks! One question: when you fold the pancake to make the pocket, how do you get it to stick, what's the glue? I saw eggs...anthing else? Creamy, cheesy mushrooms pocket is my next mission :)

absolutely lovely！Can I just roast it instead of frying?

Oooh I’m gonna try making my own in the air fryer by forking some oil into the bread crumbs 😁

This is like a gourmet hot pocket.

I can just hear Jim Gaffigan saying, "Hot Pocket"

I was a big fan of the chicken curry ones.

It's 3.15 am (I'm going fishing) and I'm just going to have a bowl of Shreddies ......GUTTED

How do you do the dough for the pancakes itself? Thanks

were can i find the recipe

I JUST FINISHED WATCHING 2 OF YOUR SHOWS and I GAINED 5 LBS. THANKS ----I THINK----KUDO's from Canada

Can you bake these in the oven or would they go to hard? i usually bake the Findus ones.

UPDATE: I made these today! =) i did HUGE ones with tuna and sweetcorn in a mildly cheesey sauce. I baked them on 200 fan for about 20 mins. Apart from that i pretty much just copied the technique in the video. I was concerned the pancakes would open up as i egged and crumbed them but that didnt happen., but i was careful to seal with egg and press the pancakes together fairly firmly. Other than that, just make sure you season the filling enough.

the Crispy Pancake is being retired, SO this video is set to have HUGE hits
