Back in the day maple syrup was primarily produced at home, and was not the expense it is today, it was pretty much free, just labor intensive. I have my grandmother's recipe for "Irish potato syrup" which can't be distinguished from maple syrup in recipes. My nieces and nephews can't tell the difference and use it freely on pancakes, etc. The next time you boil a pot of potatoes, save the water. Measure how much water you have and return it to the pot. For each cup of water, add 1/2 cup plain white sugar and heat to a boil, then let simmer until it darkens. This works with all types of potatoes, and you can substitute corn cobs as well, although it alters the taste. (Corn cob jelly, by the way, is excellent.) The syrup cans well and has a long shelf life. It tastes great and does not cost a fortune. Some people leave a little potato in their syrup (depending on the amount 1 tablespoon to 1/2 cup) but I find it works just as well without leaving the potato in and lasts quite a bit longer.

I'm one of the people who suggested it! yay! For a clarification, you can make pouding chomeur without maple syrup. The cheap way uses a brown sugar/water syrup instead, with a dollop of cream or butter. Also, the original cake had not much more than a nob of butter, and no eggs either (those were expensive). I suggest all of you looking for OG Hard Times recipes look up pouding chomeur the classic or old recipe (use google translate for the page from French). People living in Quebec did not necessarily have their own maple trees, especially poor city folk. Au revoir, from Canada!

The maple syrup costed nothing to make, just time. she did candies, taffy, lollipops, maple syrup... all kind of decadent goodness. It was so good, and the leftover syrup/sauce was super good on a piece of bread. The pan was clean by the time we finished the dessert.

I think every country has it’s own version of French Toast and every person their own liking of how they prefer it. I make mine very eggy, the eggs mixed with herbal salt and milk. The bread must be so soaked in the egg mixture that it almost falls apart when you lift it to put in a medium heat pan. For that reason slice my bread thick and because it is so thick it must fry a little longer in the pan. The egg must not be soft or runny inside. For me, that is perfection.

Du pudding chômeur ! Wow, Emmy ! This is a real classic here in Québec ! But what you describe with stale bread is not the same. This one is called "pain perdu", "lost bread" ou "pouding au pain". French toast is "pain doré", "golden bread". My maternal grand-mother was baking both pain perdu and pouding chomeur, and I bake a mean pudding chômeur myself. The perfect dessert for a potluck. 😊

Hey Emmy! I’m from Quebec and it’s great to see another way to make pouding chômeur. Where I’m from, we first start by pouring the syrup in the plate, and then we put the batter on top, like island of batter in a beautiful syrup! 🥰 There are also fruit versions (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry)!

ah yes!! This brings back memories of helping in my youngest's grade one class... seven years ago. She is in French Immersion here in Canada and the teacher that year had a little kitchen in her class (the school was older) She would have hot chocolate ready for the kids after recess during the winter and would have me in to bake things with them etc. One of the cultural dishes of Quebec she made was this and the kids LOVED it.

I was thinking I've had this my whole life but it's been a few years going to make some. I also use 100+ year old recipe for a raisin pudding that's very sim but very much a pour mans recipe, would be happy to send it if interested. The only thing that change over the last 100 years is my grandmother figured out good measurements.

Mix in a deep bakeable bowl, don't over mix and then push it into a big ball in the center of the bowl. The Sauce: 1 cup brown sugar, 1tbsp butter, 1 1/3 cups boiling water. Stir the sauce untill the butter and sugar fully dissolve and then pure it over the cake and bake for 30-35 min at 375. Try to let it cool, I always burn myself it realy good hot lol I may not have been that informative so ill answer questions :)

Kinda happy to see you appreciate a recipe from Quebec. We have so much good recipes. Greetings! Soyons fiers, les amis! 🙂

"It's great to see you" that made my day a lot better even though it's so simple. Thanks.

@@DeeDeeCatMom if you live on campus the availability of an oven is iffy. For my university the freshman dorms had one kitchen on the first floor for everyone to use, and you had a meal plan that basically covered all your meals so you didn't really need the kitchen. The other dorms on campus were full apartments.

I’m so glad you mentioned that it was indeed a French Canadian recipe. There are about a zillion recipes for it but maple syrup has got to be the best. It’s not very expensive here in Quebec. There is another version called Pouding au pain (bread pudding) which is made with stale bread. Now you made me want to make some!

I love these hard times recipes! Thanks Emmy!

Reminds me of a blonde version of a chocolate self saucing pudding. I've just started watching your vids in the last couple weeks but uhhhh I'm averaging like 5 to 10 a day lmao

I feel like someone told Emmy that saying "poor" is bad - it's not, it acknowledges a system of power/oppression. Poor folks have ingenuity and there's nothing wrong with that. That discomfort is around acknowledging that class-based suffering exists. Emmy, you were never in a harmful place with your video titles. You were not offensive, you were not ignorant. Poor is poor, and the conversation to address that is a separate one than one about ingenius recipes from poor folks past.

I understand where you are coming from, but use of 'unemployed person' comes from the fact that chômeur translated into English is unemployed.

Yesss, my grandparents are French-Canadian and my grandmother used to make this. It makes me very nostalgic:’)

I'm absolutely addicted to watching Emmy. She could literally describe paint drying for hours and I'd just sit and listen, so soothing and perfect for anxiety with everything going on in the world at this time 👩‍🍳

ive never been this early to a Emmy video!! usually see them after a day or a few months from the day they were posted :D

The synergy of my 2 favorite channels! Food Wishes and Emmy M.I.J.! My day just got real happy! If they didn't live on opposite sides of the county I'd LOVE a collab.

Ahhhh another Chef John recipe! I watch him too and I am so excited that Emmy does too!

Aww, Emmy is so sweet for making a dessert just for future me when I get out of college at least 10k in debt

Emmy: *insist how you need REAL maple syrup* me, a canadian: what.. what do you mean real maple syrup? is there FAKE MAPLE SYRUP??

What do they call table syrup in your part of the country? In Québec we call it "sirop de poteau", as in: hydro(electric) pole syrup. Because anything else than real maple syrup is just a joke.

This is delightful! I'd live to see you try other Canadian desserts in the future, like nanaimo bars, tarte au sucre, or blueberry grunt!

I remember as a little boy growing up in the 90's, my mom was clearing out the medicine cabinet, probably mid to late 90's, and found a medicine bottle dated best before or use by, I forget which...1987...I was born in 1987. 🤷‍♂️🙅‍♂️🤦‍♂️😁👍☠🧟‍♂️
