Cliff Shows You – How NOT To Make A Pancake And Then Eats It



I tried to cook a pancake. I had done this many times in the past but had not tried for many years (instead I had omelettes). While the general preparation is correct (with the exception I did not measure the ingredients and just guessed), this turned out to be more like an omelette or scrambled eggs.
I think stage fright and me trying to rush the cooking so it would not waste camera time made it worse.

It is possibly more funny to see me making a “pigs ear” (bad job) of it

Hopefully one day I will do a video showing me cooking a pancake properly.

Pancakes are tossed so the other side is cooked.

Also pancakes are used in a bizarre British tradition called a Pancake race, where people run with pancakes and toss them while running outside.

Marjorie is called utterly butearly I’m just going to put that intothe fine Panico all right so that’shopeful with the butter sorted out thenI’ll swish that around in a moment okayto put the lid back on me now[Music]I’m going to put I’m going to deal withthe egg mixture okay okay what’s up herea jug and a sieveI have here some flour as you can guesswith me it’s out of date so it’s aboutfive years out of date but I don’treally careokay it’s a May flowers flower okay Idoubt there’s much of a difference sothis is 2014okay it’s about five years old but Idon’t really careit’s um a flowers flower okay now I’mgoing to shake it so it goes into the togo to sip it and shake it so it goesinto the your jugmeanwhile while it’s doing that I’mgoing to swirl the pan round[Music][Music]that’s so the plan is covers okay nowI’m going to cheat and I’m going to usemy fingers to push the flower throughthe said okay not sure fast what you’resupposed to do I don’t think you are butI’m trying to do this quickly for thecamera okay and now I have some stripflowers I said right okay now I’m goingto add some milkI’m just going to guess the amount I’mnot sure if this is enough becausedifferent recipes I would choosedifferent amounts of milk me supposed tohave I’ll probably find out the hard wayit’s not enough but don’t worryjust in case right now no you got okaynow I’m going to add the eggsthis is the egg box their free-rangewhich means that the the hens have beenable to roam around outside okay now I’mgoing to take out two eggs I’m now goingto break them into the jug[Music]now I think you add some salt and pepperto this I’m not sure but I’m going toanyway okaythis time I’m going to choose blackpepper for some reason but I thinknormally use how you normally have whiteI think that’s what I’m doing anyway I’mnot sure I can’t remember all theingredients but now I’m done to whiskthe egg your milk and flour togetherusing a forkand now and now I’m going to pour thismixture into the frying panso this is the mixture after I’vestirred it I’m going to throw that intothe washing up Bob how we regretactually now I’m going to pour thisstrike the red turn the heat up to help[Music]now now I’m going to pour the mixture innow I’m going to choose the spatula tostir it up a bitI pushed a mixture towards the middle soI didn’t stir up enough okaynow you’re supposed to toss the youngthe pancake after you cooked it for awhile I’m not sure this will actually beable to do itno it looks like I’m not it’s not goingto do it as well as I fought I wanted toactually toss this for you guys to showyou tossing a pancake but I think it’snot going to actually do it I think thislooks more like an omelet than a pancakeit just might be a bit of a disasterbecause I’ve I’ve perhaps put too muchmilk and I wasn’t sure[Music]yeah this is gonna be an absolutedisasterI know this looks terrible likescrambled eggs now rather than a pancakeit’s terrible but I put I think theywant perhaps a bigger mixture perhapswhat I did was I put too much in becausetoo much milk in because I thought itwas going to be better for him he mightlet him plant a flower in because as Isaid this may have been intended for alarge frying pan and I’m using it in asmaller frying pan he looks more likescrambled eggs now unfortunately I cancook it I’ve done it many times in thepast but not with a camera and not underpressure I just haven’t done it forseveral years and in the past I alwaysweighed all the ingredients haveproperly rather than just guessing nowit won’t do it this is what you’resupposed to do but it won’t do it WowI’ve done it so you meant to toss apancake like that but normally thepancake would be fairly solidagainst if we can toss it againthat’s tossing a pancake guys didn’t ifyou saw it that’s tossing a pancake okaythat was not very goodI’ll admit openly this is a disaster andI’m sorry about it guys I can cook butnot under pressure not with a camera youknow it’s just too broken up to testunfortunatelywe unfortunately young it turned into ascrambled egg unfortunately which is notwhat I wantedI’ll admit this is a total disaster it’snot meant to be like this at all Ishould have just left it aloneI haven’t done these for years I’m goingto add more milk just to see whathappensI’m doing that just in case addsomething extra coercion to itI know it’s ironic me Adam nope becauseI think there wasn’t it was too muchmilk but there you go dear it that’sdreadfulthere’s a mess everywhere I won’t trythat again okay this is an absolutedisaster everything up to that point itwas actually Ocala it’s frustratingbecause I can really do that suck eventoss them[Music]so I’m sorry thises is an absolute totaldisaster it’s really frustrating whichis why I don’t recommend you trying clipthings
