Howdy folks how is it going welcome to my virgin kitchen I am today joined by my friend
gary bobbet one of the nicest guys I know except today he is quite nervous right mate?
I am nervous yeah.
I always use my humour to hide my nerves but I will try to keep them at bay if I can.
We are making some caramelised banana pancakes today and I think you are going to love this
right mate?
I love pancakes!
If you want to have a go at making these pancakes write all of these ingredients down on your
screen.
Bobbet is going to be the chef today and I will help him out.
The basic ingredients for batter are milk, eggs and flour.
Right?
Yeah lets do it.
First thing we are going to do is sift in our flour.
Going for the old school technique I learnt at school place and pour.
Give it a little tap like a babies bottom, little tappy tap tap.
So Gary has sifted his flour like a dream.
I am getting quite emotional and proud so far.
Can you make a well giant food style, yep in it goes good technique there.
Next we follow up with our eggs, 2 eggs here into the bowl goes the egg.
Here we go, 1, 2, 3 oh yeah!
No shell.
Alright we have got one more to go.
Oh yeah!
Fantastic we are now at the third stage of our batter making, the egg is in there.
We want to add a little more moisture, so we will add a sixth of the milk just to initially
get some milk in there.
It will probably be quite thick at first once we start mixing it we will just mix it and
it will be thick at first as we say, but we will mix it together to get as many lumps
out as we can.
Here is your balloon whisk, come on lets do it.
It was like tom cruise in cocktail right.
I am not very good at whisking but we will give it a go.
We need to mop the brow of Gary he is doing well so the milk is added and I can see from
here it is getting lump free so we will get all the milk in to expand our batter.
Looking good I am loving it.
Bobbet you have done a fantastic job on the batter right there the balloon whisk was on
fire when I put it down just then, smoking!
So the jug the batter came out of we will pour the batter back into there, is that ok
with you man?
Just to get it easier in the pan so pour it straight in baby alright, loving that, I like
it a lot.
So we have got a frying pan that I have lubricated in oil, we have made an executive decision
that I am going to be the pourer and gary is going to be the tosser.
That sounds good, some countries may not get that.
We are just going to get about a ladle full of batter into the pan and if you can just
work it around the pan gary.
With it being an induction pan we need to keep it on that source of heat.
Alright that is even.
So can you tell me when is the right time to flip a pancake.
Straight off you will see the pancake is a lot lighter in the pan it will not be wet
and heavy there will be little bubbles on top and ultimately you will be able to move
it like a DJ lol.
So lets have a little look with our spatula underneath see that golden brown colour baby,
golden brown texture like sun.
So what we are going to do is get gary to toss it, are you ready to toss gary?
Yeah I am a good tosser, alright.
Here we go, you tosser, lets go.
The power is in your hands I normally have a double hand stance and flip but you are
going for the one hander I think it is balance too so 1,2,3�.
R KELLY MOMENT.
Sorry guys we got a little bit emotional there but I am proud of you man.
That is so cool, to do that on camera too.
If Gary can do it anyone can.
Be a tosser and enjoy it.
So get the pancake down on kitchen towel, plonk it down with more kitchen towel on top
and just repeat with more pancakes stacking them.
So you are going to do more pancakes right man?
Yes!
So while Gary is doing that I am going to caramelise up my bananas by caramelising my
sugar in a pan with some butter, adding the banana slices, mixing it together to coat
for a couple of minutes and that will go lovely with our pancakes.
Gary is getting stuck in there I am about to join him now but to finish off the pancakes
I laid down a strip of the caramelised bananas some whipped cream on top and some maple syrup
all up and down there looking amazing but you can put anything you want on there in
fact let me know down below what you put on yours.
Enjoying that mate?
You should be proud you made that!
For more pancake recipes there is a pancake playlist right up there including the first
time I tossed.
So if I and gary can make that anyone in the world can give it a go guys, oh my god, easy
and delicious, really good!
