- Tastes like poly filler.
(upbeat music)
Hello, everybody it's Barry here.
I hope, as always, you are well.
Welcome to my kitchen.
Today we're doing another video on the Barry Tries playlist,
the playlist where I try recipes from famous chefs,
websites, blogs, social media,
and we're doing TikTok today.
We've done a few of these before
and you guys keep bombarding me.
In fact, I have actually already joined TikTok
since I did the first one
and they offered me a partnership over there.
I'm like, no, no, I don't dance.
But yeah, I do kind of get it now,
but hopefully by the end of today's video,
we've got three to try.
One is milk balls, the other one is an olive oil cake,
which sounds pretty cool,
and the third one is a hack recipe thing
on a breakfast burrito.
And as I've not had breakfast,
we'll leave that to the end.
I'm very excited for that,
'cause basically, whether it works or not,
I'm just gonna gobble the whole thing up off-camera.
(whispers) And I need a thumbnail.
So, without further ado, the milk balls,
I think we'll do that one first.
It sounds quite cool, let's go!
- Hmm, milk and corn starch mixed together,
cooked, made into a dough, you knead it for a bit,
you take little sections out, you roll it up,
and then you dust it with cocoa powder.
And they should be squidgy, as well.
Almost like, yes, like that. (laughs)
What can go wrong?
All right, let's start this off.
So apparently we need three teaspoons of sugar.
One, two tablespoons of corn flour.
Makes things thick, so that's probably
what's gonna help it make into a dough.
It then says five tablespoons of milk,
which I wasn't sure of, so I don't have a cat,
I just decided to put it in a little pot like this.
I just wanna make sure I've got it bang on.
All right, that's five tablespoons.
I'll keep that to one side, just in case.
I don't know why, I just want to lap on it like a kitten.
Just realised I had to sit out for this,
but it does say optional, a drop of vanilla flavouring
and I like with the "Back to the Future" cookies
I made recently, I know we used a vanilla pod,
but any chance you can to flavour something
that is going in there.
We're taking it in the flavour town.
And that's all the ingredients.
(beater stirring)
So now we stick it in a frying pan
and cook it to make the dough.
And we're going to pour this in. (laughs)
No? (laughs)
And I do want these recipes to work.
That's always the case with all the Barry Tries ones,
but this is going in.
I've got my spatula to hand, and it should, there you go.
It's actually thickened up already,
the moment it hit it.
It should thicken, look at that.
Oh my gosh.
It's like toothpaste or something.
Yes, most of the moisture's gone from that already.
Look at that.
I think that's done, you know.
Cause he kind of wanted a little gummy still
so that it's, I don't know, squidgy,
like you see on the video.
Right. Now what?
I've just moved the camera, it's been about 30 seconds
and it has cooled down quite quickly.
There's this sort of these flakes of it still in the pan.
Look at that!
So what we have to do...
Aw, they're still giving off some heat.
We have to knead it
and of course I could use clean, washed hands,
but in the video, now I'm gonna do it
exactly how I just saw it.
And plus we've got about 500 of these in my garage.
(dough squelching)
Oh, that's quite fun. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- We've got a sort of sausage link there
that we can just sort of pinch even size ball amount.
So it looks like we're gonna have five, that'll do.
Well that's quite big that one.
And we take one, okay?
(dough squelching)
I mean, look at that. (laughs)
It looks quite cute, doesn't it?
But it does just look and feel...
We've got that spongy texture.
It looks like just a big ball of gluten.
(upbeat music)
There we are. (laughs)
And now we dust them with cocoa powder and that's that.
I mean, it's a lot rougher than I thought it would be,
but yeah, it is spongy.
We can give it that.
This is where it could potentially look
a teeny bit more edible.
We've got some cocoa powder then
and just gonna dust that on the tops.
(laughs) That's quite cool,
'cause it does mask the gumminess underneath, okay.
All right, there we go.
They do look a bit better,
if we put it on a different plate,
it might look almost gourmet.
That is quite cool. (laughs)
Didn't take long to make them though.
(mouth chewing)
Oh my goodness.
Oh gosh, the corn flower's starting to still work,
it's like sticking to my mouth. (laughs)
The sweetness is kind of gone,
it tastes like poly filler.
There's nothing there.
There's a teeny speck of sweetness.
That's about it.
If anything, it's just a big ball of gluten.
I can't wait to share this with Mrs. Barry. (laughs)
(gags) Didn't like that.
Anyhow, next up we are trying
a Kardashian themed olive oil cake.
Someone called gender? Jenna?
Gender, Kendall Jenner.
All right, so this is the...
There's lots of people that have tried Kendall Jenner...
Kylie Jenner?
Oh my god, is it Kendall? Is that even a person?
Oh my gosh, I don't know.
But it's an olive oil cake.
Mrs. Barry would know, she watches all that stuff.
It's an olive oil cake.
There's zest...
Oh, there's motion at my front door!
That's be Mrs. B coming home.
For some reason, they dust it, it's an olive oil based cake.
They dust it with icing sugar, flour.
There's rosemary sprig on top and then they slice it, right?
They slice a wedge out of it and then there's a circle.
What the heck is that about?
Is that something that...
That's why you guys wanted to see it.
Olive oil cake, never made it.
But there is oil based cakes like carrot cakes,
which make them super moist.
So this should be rather stonking indeed.
Bec? - Yeah, love?
- Is a Kardashian...
Kardashian. Is it Kendall Jenner?
Is that her name?
Oh, she's on the toilet. (snickers)
Straight back from the shops. Priorities.
Is that a real name, Kendall?
- [Rebecca] Yeah, I went to school
with a girl named Kendall.
- Did you? You went to school with someone called Kendall?
- [Rebecca] Yeah.
- Sounds like a shoe.
All right, folks, so I've got some olive oil here,
three quarters of a cup.
I'm excited to see what this tastes like.
Not that, on its own, I mean the whole cake, sorry.
All right, so we'll start with the sugar
and it can either be orange or lemon.
I'm actually gonna go for both.
So we're gonna get the zest.
(happy music)
All right and this is for eggs that go in. Excellent.
(happy music continues)
Apparently we don't just take it to this stage,
like other cakes I've done before
with oil like this and eggs,
you get it till it's light and creamy,
which takes about five minutes, see you then.
(happy music continues)
I've just realised that every recipe we're doing today
involves a whisk of some kind,
but it's a whisk worth taking.
(happy music continues)
All right, amazingly happy with that.
This is some baking powder,
so apparently one and a half teaspoons of that
and the flour straight in there.
I ain't even sieving it
because the electric whisk does such a good job.
(happy music continues)
All right, get a spatula and work the sides down
to make sure all that flour's in there,
but we're not done yet.
This is why I kept that saucer of milk
for my imaginary kitten.
I would love to get a cat,
but I think we've got enough animals.
I used to not trust cats, as well.
Sorry, I'm getting a bit personal.
I always felt like they wanted stuff from me
and didn't give anything in return.
So I'm adding half the butter and half the oil.
I was gonna slowly merge it in.
Wow, look at that!
(happy music continues)
To be fair, it's holding its shape now.
I was worried it was just going to turn into
like a big oil spill, especially when you see that.
Look at that, it's like burning a hole
straight into the cake,
so let's be confident and get the rest of the oil
and the butter in there.
I love the specks of the zest. That's awesome.
(happy music continues)
(lips smacking)
It smells like someone has just poured olive oil
on top of a Terry's Chocolate Orange.
(nose sniffing)
We'll carry on.
It's ready. This is the batter done.
We're gonna get it in the tin now.
And this apparently is not lined.
It is greased and floured.
I've not done that very often,
but it's going into this spring form tin,
which should make it...
Wow, that's quite nice to look at.
Quite easy to get out.
This really does smell like a tree, all of a sudden.
(door creaking)
See ya in 35 minutes.
Mrs. B, whilst the olive oil cake bakes,
would you like to have this.
Oh, don't eat that one. I had that one.
- Okay. - This is a milk ball.
(mouth smacking)
- It tastes like...
Nothing I've ever tasted before.
- (laughs) Did you like it? I wasn't a fan.
- No, oh, it's like these milk bottle sweets.
- What? You can taste?
- You know those milk bottle sweets.
That are like (indistinct),
but they're just like that white-
- Yeah, but they tasted- - Milk?
- Yeah. - It tastes like that.
- I could just taste gluten.
- Is there gluten in there?
What? (laughs)
- We've unofficially decided off-camera
that as I've just fed you,
and you're gonna have amazing cake,
and this is sort of a hack as well,
you gonna help me with this one?
- Okay, I wouldn't say you fed me.
- This is a breakfast burrito hack involving...
You make scrambled egg, you then sort a tortilla in it.
You cook it upside down, flip it,
then put your fill-ins and fold it,
and then boom, you've got it.
Oh, I'm excited for this one.
- Now you're gonna feed me.
- Can I have a cat, Mrs. B?
- No!
- Why not?
- 'Cause we've got two dogs.
- What, you aren't going to "Cats"?
All right, eggs whisked like a dream.
About 10 minutes left on the cake.
Can we make this burrito by the time that's done?
- Yes.
(egg bubbling)
- [Barry] Oh, lush. Good surface area coverage.
We'll get that on there.
- Yeah? - Actually, maybe...
I don't know, should I check it again?
Hang on, oh no, can you rewind a TikTok?
Dunno if you can.
- Just drag the thing back. - Hang on.
- Well, I didn't see it.
- [Barry] I know, I can't remind, I don't think.
Look, there we go.
See? See?
Oh no, it's sort of set. Right, we'll wait.
All right, we think it's getting quite set, right?
- Yeah. - You happy doing this?
You want me to do it?
- I'm happy to do it. - Yes, get it down.
So it should cling to that.
Yeah, we press it on.
And just let it sit there for a minute or so.
How are you feeling?
- I'm all right. I'm hungry.
- [Barry] (laughs) Yeah.
It needs to be cooked, the other side as well,
just to warm it? - Yeah.
Okay. - That makes sense, yeah?
- Yeah, so I just need to flip it?
- [Barry] Yeah, you go right under it.
Right under the egg.
- All right.
- [Barry] And lift up in one motion and flip it.
You sure you want to do it, I'm happy to do it.
Oh, like a boss!
- There we go!
So then we get some bacon- - Oh, look at this.
- And we lay a strip down there.
Right down the middle.
- [Rebecca] This looks amazing.
- [Barry] Sorry, it's quite a lot of bacon there.
All right and then cheese.
♪ Do do do do do ♪
That's quite good, 'cause that is cooking
that last little bit of egg on the bottom,
isn't it, I guess? - It is.
- Oh my gosh.
Yeah, there! (gasps)
The tortilla's toasted, look at that.
And then over again.
- Did it again?
- [Barry] Yeah, onto itself.
- There we go!
- [Barry] Look at that!
(burrito sizzling)
That's amazing!
- [Rebecca] That's really good!
- [Barry] Now, the residual heat in there is gonna melt...
Can you see in there?
The cheese is gonna...
- That looks so nice!
Why have we never done this before?
- Stonking. - That is good.
- [Barry] Little update, folks.
It does say to bake it for 30 to 35 minutes
and my oven is normally a little quicker.
It's gone beyond 35 minutes.
So we're now in the 40, 42 minutes zone.
I've put foil on top to stop it burning,
'cause it was still a bit wobbly.
Ah! I hope it works, 'cause it smells amazing.
I'll let you know how long it takes.
Oh right then, we checked this with a bamboo skewer.
Oh, it's cooling down.
I've got to let it cool before we've finish it
with icing sugar and a rosemary sprig.
(nose inhaling)
- Gotta admit there, Ken...
Once played table tennis with a guy called Ken.
Quite really a nice guy. Dead now.
It's looking good, Ken.
So the cake is done, we dust it with icing sugar.
I'm giving it a really good coating, actually.
I do like a lot of icing sugar on my cakes.
Love that!
And then apparently we stick a sprig of rosemary on top,
like that, and that's it,
but now I've gotta take a slice out of it and also a circle.
(nose sniffing)
Wow, this smells like our wedding day.
We add herbs as charms.
Couldn't afford to feed people. (laughs)
Oh wow, that is so light.
Oh, that's really cutting through lovely.
Oh, look at that.
And then, for some reason...
I think this is why it got publicity.
Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing.
There is a circle...
Maybe I should have used a cookie cutter.
Just cut right into the middle of it.
(laughs) I don't know why. Sorry, Ken.
Which, when you take it out, put that back on top.
Well, that looks very bizarre, doesn't it? (laughs)
But I think it's a rather stonking cake.
Let's get Mrs. B to try it.
Oh!
- I wanna try some of this. - Oh,
there's gooey cheese in there.
The bacon and the egg.
It's folded like a little blanket, you see that?
Oh, you just straight. (laughs)
I love that!
(mouth chewing)
- Oh wow.
- That is good,
Look, the actual egg is welded into the tortilla
and it's become one, it's fused together.
You've got the cheese in it.
Obviously, whatever filling you put in there.
That is gorgeous.
That'd be amazing for the kids in
for breakfast, wouldn't it?
- They'd love this.
- Mm.
- [Both] Mm!
Why is there a hole missing?
- I don't know! It's Ken's idea, innit?
- Ken? Who's Ken?
- Oh, Ken Gender, she's a Kardashian.
- Oh, yeah, sorry.
- (laughs) You watch it? Do you watch it?
You do watch it a bit? - Not since we got rid of Sky.
- Oh, yeah, we did get rid of it.
It got expensive.
There goes that brand deal!
- (laughs) Sorry.
It looks very Christmas-y. - I wouldn't do a brand deal
for them anyway, what they all do?
Oh, hi, whilst my cake's baking in the oven,
let me just instal my satellite dish.
That looks delicate. That looks tender.
I didn't realise there was a cake just like me. (laughs)
- That is really good.
- Oh wow. Mm.
- That is amazing.
- That is really good.
The olive oil is in there,
it's powerful, but still delicate.
The citrus isn't strong, but it just runs through it.
You've got orange and lemon in there,
can you taste- - Yeah, I love it.
The icing sugar helps just give it that sweeter edge
and the rosemary, maybe you should whack it with that a bit.
- Where's the rosemary?
- It's just garnish.
I don't know, it's Ken's idea, innit?
Don't forget to have a Barrathon, folks.

Say what you just said.
- (laughs) I said, what a waste of cake though,
to cut a circle out.
- Yeah.
- Then you went.
- I ate it. (laughs)
I already ate it off-camera. I love it!
I was like, I'm not gonna leave cake!
We've already got a burrito to cool down.
What did you think it did? Just magically to disappear?
- I was looking for it.
