- Ah.
Does anyone understand the point of a bay leaf?
It's had 95 million views.
Are we sure this is right?
A singer called Lizzo.
Wow.
(grand orchestral music)
Hello, everybody, it's Barry here.
Hope you are well, wherever you are in the world.
Today we are attempting
three different viral TikTok recipes.
We've done a few of these before,
and I don't know where this is going to go.
I've already started boiling some eggs.
This is evidence of said egg boiling.
(dramatic music)
Yes, here it is.
And this is actually my new Elvis egg boiling gadget thing
'cause the other one left the building.
Mrs. B did tell me it ran out
whilst we were filming a video, I believe.
I opened the drawer and I forgot
that I did actually order another replacement
and it's singing away.
Waiting for one more song. (upbeat music)
There we go.
So we should have some nice hard boiled eggs,
which we'll get out right now.
Yes folks, because today we are doing three TikTok recipes,
viral TikTok recipes, one of which needs boiled eggs.
That one I'm actually quite excited about.
There's another one that should be fairly easy,
which we'll start with straight away,
and then a really sort of quirky one at the end,
which is based on nature's breakfast,
which will all make sense in a bit.
But I wanna do the nice, easy one first,
which is a pancake sheet pan.
Say that very carefully.
Okay, so this is a baking sheet
and we are gonna make some sheet pan pancakes.
I have no doubt in my mind this is gonna generally work
unless we don't cook it right.
Not gonna rule that out.
Apparently the whole purpose is that you do this
so that you do not have to flip pancakes.
So I'm just gonna grease it with some butter.
Wah wah wah wah wah.
And I'm not even gonna put down baking parchment
or a baking mat.
I want it to be right on that surface like that,
so I'm just waxing on, waxing off, "Karate Kid" style.
Right, let's start making the batter.
Start with the dry ingredients first.
Big old bowl. We've been here before.
Plain flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder.
Hopefully help with the rising.
And we'll just mix that through
just as a sort of courtesy mix.
I've never really understood why we do this
because it all gets mixed together anyway,
but we might as well.
And now the wet ingredients.
Four eggs, a load of vanilla extract
and then this is some buttermilk.
Apparently we put that in.
Whisk this through.
Beautiful.
And then here is some melted butter.
All right, so that's the wet. Let's bring back the dry.
In this goes.
Oh.
Just fold it in, so hopefully it absorbs it all.
It's nice and smooth.
Let's grab our prepared sheet. (chuckles)
Let's push it into the middle.
And we're only after a thin, princess layer here, okay?
I've spent way too much time
just pushing this back and forth.
It is really, really fun.
I have no idea if it's going
to actually be very level at all,
'cause it is still a little bit bumpy,
not unlike our back garden, but that's another story.
But the good thing about the batter being so thin
is we didn't need to put our fillings in during that.
We can actually sort of dot it in there
because the surface is pretty much
the whole thing right now.
So yeah, we've got some chocolate chips, strawberries
and I've got some blueberries.
All right, now I don't know about you,
but that looks blooming awesome.
Hopefully when it cooks, we want that to puff up.
I'm hoping for it to ideally be as high
as the ridge of the pan, but well.
I'll tell you what, let's find out.
Let's put it in the oven.
Let's see what happens.
Well hopefully it's gonna cook, spoiler alert.
It's a bit weird folks.
I just dropped something on the floor,
it was a chocolate chip,
and normally I'm like, oh my gosh,
Boston don't eat the chocolate,
which of course is not good for dogs.
But Boston is not here today.
Look, it's just his little mat down there.
Mrs. Barry's parents have very kindly got Boston
for the whole week so he's kind of having a holiday
whilst we've had, well, half a holiday already.
We've been away camping for a few days,
came back for one day to kind of freshen up
and I'm filming and then we're going away camping again.
I did try one of these gadgets
that I've had for blooming ages whilst I was away,
'cause I'm gonna do a camping gadget video,
if not many of them,
because there's so many that I've got in the box.
I thought this one I've had for ages,
I wanna try it with the kids.
It was just like this s'mores maker.
And let me tell you, it was absolutely rubbish.
You either burnt them or it didn't cook them at all.
You had these little compartments where you put it in,
wrap it in foil, but it did cook sausages amazingly,
so it's kind of like my new sausage cooker.
I will be doing a camping gadget special, though, I promise.
So we've been camping with my elder sister
and when she was cooking sausages in a pan, right,
loads of oil everywhere from the sausages as well.
Like really brown and looking good
and I could tell, I was like, okay, I think they're done.
And she was like, oh no, they're not.
I wanna make sure they're really cooked through.
She then gets a mug of water and pours it into the pan
with the hot oil.
I'm like, oh my gosh.
And I was like, what are you doing?
And it's like flying everywhere.
"I always do that with my sausages.
You gotta make sure they're cooked through in the middle."
What?
All right, so we've got about 10 minutes whilst that cooks
so I am just peeling my eggs.
Remember, you can do it the sensible way or the...
Where did that go?
(oven beeping)
Folks, the oven is calling.
Whoa.
(Barry grunting)
Oh.
It's springy to the touch
and slightly more golden brown than I would've liked
so yours will look out better than mine.
But I love the fact that it's got a nice crust on it.
We'll let that cool down fully in the pan.
It might sink a bit whilst we move on
with the other recipes,
but I think that's gonna be blooming amazing.
Now, something a bit different.
Yes, because our now fully cooled down eggs,
they're ready for something called egg boil,
which is what we just did.
But no, apparently we lace it in sugary, spicy heat.
Oh. And it sounds amazing.
So this thing is called egg boil.
It's had 95 million views on TikTok,
which equates to about 10 views on YouTube, I've been told.
Six hard boiled eggs, which we've done
and then we start to fry up onions and garlic in butter.
And then it goes a bit crazy.
We can go anywhere we want with that.
We've got sort of sweetness, we've got heat,
we've got spicy, we've got citrus,
we've got cayenne pepper, we've got hot sauce, paprika.
All that stuff.
I'm gonna get it all ready so we can chuck it in.
And that took blooming ages.
So I've just finally diced half an onion.
This is four garlic cloves there.
Lots of, that is 225 grammes of butter.
That is a lot.
We've got cayenne pepper, garlic powder,
onion powder, lots of paprika, which is not a bad thing.
Oregano, red chilli flakes, hot sauce.
This is Frank's hot sauce, like on the wings.
Love that stuff.
Brown sugar, half a lemon.
It just says half a lemon.
I assume we just don't stick that in.
We have to get the juice out of it, maybe?
And a bay leaf, right?
A bay leaf is one of these things that I...
I smell it, I don't get.
Does anyone understand the point of a bay leaf?
I mean look at, what?
(Barry sniffing)
What do you do? It doesn't smell of anything.
That is a lot of butter, isn't it?
Are we sure this is right?
Blimey.
All right, let's reduce that heat down.
Push in the onions, first of all.
Ah.
I have just triple checked
and it is supposed to be one cup of butter,
which is pretty much 225 grammes of butter.
I'm sure those onions aren't complaining
and loving it in there, but,
and it does smell good, but wow.
Now I would normally, hello, push that and brown it,
but it's telling me not to do that.
So in goes the garlic.
Oh, look at it, it's rising up.
That can't be right, surely?
I'm just gonna take it off the heat
and let it just kind of subside a minute.
I'm sure it's fine,
but I just wanna see what's going on in the pan.
Oh.
What's going on in the pan is that these onions
are getting nice and browned, actually.
Yeah, look, it's starting to settle down a little bit
and we've got nice browned edges on that onion.
Okay.
So apparently a good pinch of salt.
This is some smoked salt that I like using. And pepper.
And then basically everything else.
Bay leaf, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder,
chilies, oregano, brown sugar, the massive heap of paprika,
and that's the hot sauce.
And the lemon juice of half the lemon.
And that's really weird because that's not even on a flame
and adding the lemon's made it go, ooh, I'm hot again.
I wonder if that's like my sister with the oil.
Oh.
Oh my gosh. It looks a bit boring, but that is amazing.
So we've got it on a steady heat there
for a couple of minutes like that just mingling.
Look, you can really see what the bay leaf is doing.
It's just being an annoying leaf.
I'll forget to take out, but it does smell brilliant.
And honestly that taste blew me away.
Now we roll the eggs around in it for like about a minute
and I think it just stains them in the flavour.
Let's see what this does. I'll get them all in.
So hopefully, if we just roll this around,
oh my gosh, look at that.
I'm gonna halve one.
Oh, look at that.
I want to get this bit stained as well.
Oh my goodness.
Right. I guess we better get these out.
Oh. (chuckling)
Amazing.
I dunno whether I'm gonna like it,
but I mean, that was quite fun to do, right?
Let's finish with another strange-ish one,
which we don't even need to cook.
From a very tangy egg recipe then to nature's cereal.
That is genuinely what it's called.
I don't normally eat my breakfast out of a mixing bowl.
I've done it once or twice.
It's like transparent, it's quite cool.
You can see your breakfast with milk on,
except this time, we're not using milk.
We're using coconut water plus a nice selection of fruits
all nice and chilled in the fridge.
We've got some strawberries, blueberries again,
going back to pancake town and some black berries,
plus a little bit of pomegranate.
Yeah, coconut water,
which generally comes from younger coconuts.
You know, like the greener ones?
That's where it's more water
and as a coconut ages and gets furry like Chewbacca,
that's where that water slowly turns into that white flesh
that we know as coconut, although even when you open those,
you still get a little bit of coconut water.
So that's what coconut water is
but the coconut milk, I believe,
is the flesh scraped out of the coconut
and then simmered down and then you're left
with kind of like the milky stuff once it's filtered.
So coconut water with those fruits
and apparently the Grammy award winning,
yeah, a singer called Lizzo,
she's won a Grammy award.
Sorry, I've probably heard of some of your songs,
but apparently she likes this with ice cubes,
so we will do just that.
I'm just gonna dump the fruit in.
And coconut water is really healthy, to be honest.
So it is just fruit and ice and water.
Get some pomegranate in there.
Oh my gosh, looks very colourful, doesn't it?
I mean, it's not exactly a bowl of Coco Pops, is it,
but we can give it a little stir to randomise it up.
Lift some ice cubes on.
And that, my friends, is nature's cereal.
That is it.
So you're putting no sugars or anything else in it.
You're getting the natural sugar from the fruit.
Coconut water's healthy as well,
plus the ice, which is just, as I say, water.
It's not quite a negative calorie thing.
You know that thing like when you eat celery,
there's that theory of like,
you're burning calories as you eat it?
But I'm gonna let that kind of sit and chill
in the ice a little bit so it cools down a teeny bit more,
infuses the water with the flavour,
'cause imagine if you leave this overnight.
It's told me not to, but you know how you can make
fruit flavoured waters?
I think that will taste better like that.
Let's see what happens.
Pancakes.
They're like little hearts.
They look really solid, but you can just cut right through.
And the blueberry. That's crazy.
Oh.
Oh, look.
Blueberry, strawberry on top,
little cheeky chocolate chip there.
I think this could be the piece for me.
But once you've got one, they'll all lift up like that.
All right, here we go.
Mm.
Oh, that is amazing.
I'm so glad we put that much vanilla in.
It tastes like an ice cream
and I've just had the chocolate bit there.
Let's try a strawberry.
Mm.
That is absolutely outstanding.
It's soft, it's fluffy.
It tastes a bit like a pancake,
like more pancakey than a cake, but...
Oh.
It's got that fluffiness of a pancake,
just slightly more than a cake,
and it's the vanilla in there.
That is the key thing that's really driving that flavour
and then the melted chocolate, nice and soft.
The fruit, too.
That is an amazing thing for a party
or if you've got people staying over,
you just wanna make loads of pancakes in the morning.
It took 10 minutes to bake and without filming it,
probably like five minutes, just chucking it all together.
Outstanding.
And now we will try one of the eggs.
I feel like I've gotta be honest,
it's sort of weeped a little bit here.
There's a little bit of butter residue coming off of it.
Oh it smells tangy.
Mm.
Oh.
Oh, that is lovely.
And it's not too oily.
By just drizzling it on there,
we've actually got quite a lot left over,
but that is phenomenal.
You've got the mildness, the creaminess of the boiled egg
and then this sort of tang around it.
I think I made mine slightly sweeter,
so maybe next time I'd add a bit more hot sauce in there,
but it was a little bit experimental
and hopefully by it being slightly sweeter,
Mrs. B will give it a try.
Mm.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness, I've got a little bit of the onion then.
It's like caramelised.
It's just eggs but all the effort is in that flavour.
That was awesome.
I need something to cleanse the palate.
Well, here we go.
I'm gonna try some of the coconut water just on its own.
See if it's taken on any of that flavour already.
No. (laughing)
I promise you, it doesn't tell me to do this,
but I really believe if you leave that overnight to infuse,
that would be amazing, but let's get that fruity hit now.
There we go. I've got a bit of everything on there.
Mm.
Oh.
Mm.
Wow.
I feel like my mouth has just jumped into a plunge pool.
That is so refreshing. It's like a blast.
I think the ice really, really helps, actually.
But it's taken that coconut water,
you can't really taste that so much.
It's just a fruity blast, a boom.
Mm.
Oh.
That is truly quite bizarre,
but actually really, really nice.
Can I put chocolate in it?
No.
I just heard my front door open.
The girls are back.
Well, I swear that they just wait outside the house
and like, is he done yet?
Yep, it's time to eat.
Right. They've nailed that, perfect timing.
Let's see what they think.
It's got onion, garlic, loads of spices,
sugar, little bit of heat.
- Mm.
- You get the creaminess of the egg.
- Oh, that's nice. - It's nice, isn't it?
- Oh, I like that.
- Yeah?
- I don't want you farting all night.
- I might be.
- This is a sheet pancake.
- What?
- That's very fluffy.
- Yeah. - It's tastes
like a fluffy pancake.
- Fluffy pancake. You get any vanilla in there?
- Mm. - Vanilla?
- Get a bit of vanilla.
- I'm gonna try-
- Wow, that's a big piece.
- Oh, this is good quality.
- [Barry] Right, excellent. Thanks, Chloe.
You like it?
- Mm. - Mm.
- And now I have something a little quirky-
- Right? - To cleanse your palette.
Right, I have there got you on your spoon
a bit of everything, okay?
This is nature's cereal.
- Just looks like a bowl of fruit and some water.
Hm.
- Just tastes like fruit.
It's the sort of thing that you'd
eat on a summer's day.
- What were gonna say?
It's the sort of thing you'd eat if you were healthy.
- It is. It's very refreshing.
- Yeah, it's supposed to be like
an alternative breakfast cereal or snack.
Do you know someone called Lizzo?
- Yeah.
- All right.
I thought she would. ♪ I got my hair ♪
- Is it?
♪ Check my tails ♪
- Is that what she sings?
♪ Baby how you feelin' ♪
♪ Feelin' good as hell ♪
- Oh, that song, all right.
Well she said to put some ice cubes in, yeah, yeah,
'cause that was what she did.
So that's what was her tip, was put ice cubes in as well,
and that's what we did.
Oh, I know Lizzo, actually.
Yeah. - Yeah.
- Have you met her?
- No.
I feel like I've met her through
the power of nature's cereal.
There we go, then, folks.
In between our two camping trips,
we've done a pretty cool video.
Do you think, Chlo, we should take nature's cereal
back to nature with us?
Take it camping.
Instead of burgers, hot dogs, all that stuff, s'mores,
we just eat loads of nature's cereal?
- Meh.
- I think we'll get some funny looks, right?
- Tell me about it.
Sounds like we get it all the time.
Or maybe we do.
Thank you so much for watching, folks.

See you later.

I Wrapmastered this overnight,
so it's had a nice chill, okay?
So kind of like flavouring the coconut water, hopefully.
It does look a little bit different in colour, doesn't it?
So let's just try and see if this has worked.
Mm.
It's cold. Mm.
Oh my goodness.
I don't really like watermelon that much,
but that has flavoured it
and tastes just like watermelon.
I don't know why we'd want that to happen,
but it's actually, at least it actually
tastes of something now.
What about with some fruit?
Oh.
Oh, that's actually worse.
