Hello and welcome to FridgeCam.
If you eat food, then this is the show for you.
In the fridge today we’re joined by this man, Jim Chapman.
- That’s me.
And we’ll be giving you a catch of the day challenge.
Okay.
And you’ll learn five things you can do to improve your pancakes.
But first.
Forgot the ingredients. Sorry.
Sorted, I love pancakes. So make me some.
Got them.
So you’ve asked for pancakes.
Today we’re going for sweet potato pancakes.
Two of my favorite things.
An awesome breakfast,
or with a little twist, dessert.
Okay. Cool.
Okay, it’s very simple. And the way this is going to work is
I’m not going to do anything.
- Brilliant. You’re going to take lead,
I’m just going to instruct.
So first off, the dry ingredients.
So if I give you the flour… - Yeah.
The sugar. Yeah.
And you just shrunk.
Oh yeah, what happened there?
I just didn’t want to start off feeling very very…
And he’s standing on five chopping boards, right?
You’re still too short.
Dry ingredients. We’ve got flour, sugar, baking powder,
bicarbonate of soda, and then some spices, so ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Okay. We want about a half teaspoon of that,
and a little grating of that. - Fine.
All into the bowl, whisk up.
Just stick them in ? All right.
And next up, we combine all the wet. So buttermilk.
- Okay. You can crack one egg in.
- Okay. And then you get your whisk in and whisk that up.
So crack the egg into the buttermilk? - Yep.
Then you mix it together. You don’t want to overwork it,
and it’s not the end of the world if you’ve got a few lumps.
But by putting wet into dry, you tend to reduce that.
Now, I’ve cheated a little bit because we’ve got a couple of sweet potatoes.
What I did was just stab them,
put them in the microwave for about ten minutes so they cook.
Then halve them, scoop out the flesh, and we’ve got sweet potato puree.
All of it just in one go? Yep.
And then you mix it in.
It’ll be alittlebit lumpy, but it’s fine.
It’sa really thick batter, and the lumps…
This is a new you isn’t it ? You’re not usually like that.
Oh, lumps ? Fine ! Undercook it. Whatever. Food poisoning, who cares?
For this recipe, absolutely fine.
Lastly some melted butter.
One other thing I’ve done for you, I’ve melted some butter for you,
but if you put that in there and give it a whisk.
That’s it. Pancake batter. Done.
How easy was that? Really easy.
Tagging in. - Hello mate.
So you’re going to spoon that into those rings
for three or four minutes on each side. - Yep.
We’re going to check to see if they’re golden, then flip them.
So I just scoop them. Just scoop them right in.
And the beauty is it’s a nonstick pan,
and because you’ve put the butter into the mix…
Of course.
You don’t have to butter the… You’re going in dry, yeah.
Hey.
Hello.
Thanks.
He’s there. You’ve done it.
Thanks very much. -Brunch is on the way.
We’re going to make a sauce. - Okay.
Now the interesting thing is that I don’t know what sauce we’re making.
- Okay.
And I don’t know how we’re making it.
The great thing is you don’t have to do anything Jamie.
Jim is doing it all.
Oh that’s a really good point. What am I telling Jim to do?
Grab the small bowl from his left. - Grab the small bowl from your left.
Yeah.
Then place the mascarpone into the bowl.
Place the mascarpone. It's the one- It’s here. Yeah.
That was fantastic. Well done.
You two make such a good couple. Literally.
It’s awkward. That normally happens to Jamie.
It’s an awkward cheese. It does kind of a mind of its own.
Look, it’s hard to get on a spoon. - Yeah.
Now basically you’re going to whisk the cream cheese
with the double cream and then slowly dribble in the maple as you whisk.
Basically you’re going to whisk slowly.
And , what goes in now?
So we’re going toputsome cinnamon in,
although we’ve got cinnamon in our pancakes.
- Fine. So we just want a little bit.
This is the part where I get out of my depth,
because this is about making things look good.
- Right. So I’m probably going to tag in with Barry.
You’ve done a brilliant job. Thanks very much.
I’m in. Okay.
Hey. Right. Now just freestyle it. What do you want to go for?
We got some white chocolate, some pecans here, and of course your sauce.
Chop up and start decorating.
I think pecans.
And now it’s time for the sexy dribble.
And for the sexy dribble, would you mind dribbling in the sexes?
Sure. I don’t know what that means, what you just said to me.
It means this.
Here we go.
Hello.
Oh wow.
Very good.
You make a mean pancake. - Thanks very much.
Mate, they are top pancakes.
I mean, I was heavily supervised.
Jim. Top job mate.
Thanks very much.
Wonderful job. - Thank you.
Now in order to put your newly acquitted knowledge to the test…
Right.
We’d like to introduce you to our next feature
that we like to call catch of the day. - Okay.
So what we’re doing to do,
we’re doing to ask you to remake these pancake with Barry.
You’re going to work together. You’re going to make a beautiful stack.
Using the knowledge you’ve just learned. But there’s a catch.
Hence catch of the day.
James?
I get the catch of the day, thing, but
So, if you, Ben, If you just slightly move out of the way.
Jim if you’d like to just reel that fish in.
Are you kidding, I get to reel in what’s coming next?
And you’ll find out what was the catch.
This way surely.
Other way.
I hope it’s not an actual hook.
Your catch is that you need to make and construct these pancakes.
And here’s your catch.
Whilst electric shocked? Question mark.
Why is there a question mark? Whilst electric shocked?
Ladies and gentlemen, here is how the challenge is going to work.
You guys are going to have to recreate the sweet potato pancake recipe.
You are going to be judged. Every time that you make a mess,
maybe you’re not quite as efficient as you should be,
maybe you get the recipe wrong.
Mike and Ben over here are in charge of buzzing you.
Mike, remember how much I like you.
At the same time, I’m going to be asking you questions.
Jim, about your historical videos. Barry, about our historical videos.
If you get the answers wrong, guess what’s going to happen ?
Mike and Ben are going to buzz you.
Hate this game.
Shall we begin ? - No.
No, please no. In three, two, one.
Okay.
Now Jim, on the 24th of May 2015. - What ?
You did some baking with a little-known up-and-coming chef called Jamie Olivia,
I think his name is. Okay.
What did you make?
I know it, I know it, I know it.
Eaton Mess?
It was not an Eaton Mess. I’m really sorry. It was pavlova.
Oh my. Oh no. And the same thing. What level is that on?
Thirty five.
Crank it.
Barry Taylor.
Yes.
On the first of May 2016, we uploaded a Fridge Cam
called Five Ingredient Chocolate Cake.
Barry. How many ingredients was it?
Can you tell me what those five ingredients were?
Right. Okay.
Curve ball. Had a pear in it.
Okay. Pear is one of the five ingredients in it.
It had chocolate.
Egg. Flour, chocolate, pear, and a bit of milk.
Close but no cigar.
Oh no.
Also on 35, should we crank it? - Yeah.
Crank it! Crank it!
In your most popular video ever, where Joe Suck whacks your armpits,
can you name me two ingredients that went into
a special smoothie that he also made you?
I don’t remember a special smoothie.
Do you not ? He definitely made you a special smoothie.
Chili and ketchup.
Chili was one of the right answers, but ketchup did not feature.
You !
Best reaction.
What was that?
Forty five.
Barry Taylor. In which recipe episode involving chocolate,
did you helpfully break the milk chocolate into pieces in a montage?
Was it like Toblerone Cheesecake?
Barry it was the Snickers Bar recipe.
Where did that arm go?
That is a lot of mess.
I mean, certainly, that’s not sticking to the recipe is it?
Because you needed all of that maple syrup in there.
What’s that on?
No don’t worry.
- I’m shaking. Are you all right?
No, yeah it’s fine. Don’t worry, everything is going according to plan.
Shock him. Shock him.
What? That was noisy.
I think we’ve decided to work together now and do a stack together, because…
We’re both at 100 for following questions. - Brothers in arms.
Perfect, well in that case,
if one person gets the question wrong, you both get shocked.
In November 2015, Nathan Wyburn came into our studio…
- Who is Nathan Wyburn?
… to teach us about toast art.
We received a call from James whilst he was on holiday. Where was James?
That’s not!
This is James. - He’s a fisher, I know that. He likes fishing.
He likes fishing. Where was he on holiday?
Well what I know about James is he likes to cook,
so I imagine he went on some sort of cooking retreat.
Okay.
He’s nodding. - Yep.
He was in…
It’s far away. It’s far away. Thanks.
- Really far. He was in New Zealand cooking lamb.
He was in Australia.
Oh I was so… Oh my.
Why’d you do it twice?
I didn’t. I only did it once.
On the 3rd of January 2016, Jim uploaded a video called What I Got for Christmas.
How many T-shirts did his mum get him for Christmas?
What?
I know you. I know you.
Right, let me just say: I don’t need clothes,
I’ve got a lot of clothes, so I would go low.
More than zero.
But less than four.
Six.
What? I said less than four.
The answer was two.
That hurt so much.
Did Jim?
What? Oh what because of the advice, maybe we should…
Also, they’re teaming up.
Oh yeah, they obviously are both
they're both on the same team as well. - Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
And that… - No.
That is our sweet potato pancakes.
Sorted.
I’m just going to say sorry now, because that was twisted and horrible. I’m sorry.
In a weird way, I kind of enjoyed it.
That is weird. - Yeah, it is a bit weird.
Anyway, that Fridge Cam had everything.
It had the almighty Jim Chapman. If you want to go check him out,
all the links are down below. Thanks very much.
It also had me shocking both Jamie and Mike at 100% to get revenge.
Also now in the after takes, come with us
because we’re going to show you five things you can do to improve your pancakes.
Right, we’ll see you next time. Goodbye.
How was that guys? Did it work ?
Did it work? - Yeah.
I thought that one of the little buttons was green was off.
No it works.
Was one of you cheating ? - No that worked.
The sweat on the back of the neck. Look at it.
Well, how much fun was that everyone?
Whilst we’re on the topic of pancakes,
here are five ways to make amazing pancakes every time.
Don’t get shocked. - By Ebbers.
Tip One.
