Gordon Ramsay prepare these Scotch Pancakes

[mrme1010101]

I am sooooo making this tomorrow morning :| mm rum in da monin! 

[charlesaferg]

Steps 5 and 6 are the same...

[charlesaferg]

They cut the part where Ramsey says, "No wonder Americans are so fucking fat."

[Litawyn]

How does one (as Ramsey says) follow the recipe exactly, if 1) no recipe is provided, and 2) things like eggs can differ considerably in volume depending on size?

[Maxwilso]

@Litawyn this is a shorten clip of the show (summary)

[xKingLibra]

Do we have to add rum to the bannanas?

[speakercoilmusic]

@xKingLibra yes rum is important part of the flavor, but if you are worried about alcohol content it all gets burned off... Also general rule of thumb with Gordon's cooking I have noticed (having cooked many of his dishes) is that every ingredient is important... Leave out one and it is no where near as good.

[eadamic17]

My breakfast: Bowl. Cereal. Milk. DONE.

[xKingLibra]

@eadamic17 IT'S CEREAL THEN MILK YOU STUPID DONKEY!

Jk :p Idk I don't think it really matters lol

[chefkoo]

This is basically banana's foster. Except he's using white sugar instead of brown sugar

[timothyafrench]

Holy crap he was talking fast!! Now I see why on his shows when people are slow he flips his s***

[usukker]

DONE

[LondonPride25]

So what are the proportions for the baking powder, salt etc...If it's "all about the chemistry" and getting the proportions "exactly right"...Answers on a postcard please!

[Beeguiling]

@LondonPride25 For every five ounces of flour, add one teaspoon of baking powder. I didn't even have to look that up because I read Ruhlman's book. You should get it since you Brits already weigh all your ingredients anyway. In America, most people still measure by volume.

[MrPlanx]

@Beeguiling - yes, Americans do make that mistake - but not professionals. Only housewives and amateurs.

[wakeIess]

buh-naw-naws

[nhucharity5]

I'm Hungary.....:(

[scottwlfc]

when he was adding the bananas i was like 'ok that has just spoilt it' and then seconds later i was like 'OMG I WANT THAT' best chef in the world by far...

[iwannaplaycs]

instead of using buttermilk and water to make the pancakes, could you replace those two ingredients with just regular 2% milk instead?

[kerelenis]

@iwannaplaycs I think u can.I used 1,6% milk :)

[MrMGD92]

@kerelenis 1,6%?

[kerelenis]

@MrMGD92 Yup,but I don't live in England or America so probably u don't have 1/6% milk :/

[MrMGD92]

@kerelenis i think we call it a sixth or 1 over 6. if if i,ve got it right in what your talking about.(i live in england)

[onesidedpolygon]

@iwannaplaycs

Buttermilk is slightly acidic and reacts with the baking soda, it won't turn out the same with plain 2%

[iwannaplaycs]

@onesidedpolygon Good point! But if you use baking powder instead of baking soda, then just using 2% milk should be fine I hope? Because I think baking powder is activated by any liquid and you don't have to worry if it's acidic or alkaline...

[Nabiki73]

@onesidedpolygon Are you also talking about the flavor of the pancakes with the difference between 2% milk and buttermilk?

[AvixeLexar]

Bloody hell . This makes my mouth all watery .

[FamilyOfMan1975]

It's nice to know there's at least ONE American dish that Ramsay likes.

[thisisfuck1nexile]

but why is the Rum gone? D:

[Snakeater99]

Holy meatball, I bet Ramsay even makes a glass of chocolate milk as epic as this XD

[RosettaKills3697]

You made pancakes ExTrEmE!!!!! 

[kevindashid]

And this can be found at a Denny's or I-Hops near you.

[zodiacza]

i chuck all the pancake ingredients into the blender and blend... no elbow grease required...

[cheekybabe0293]

I came for pancakes, but I got so much more. Banana. Caramel. Ice cream. Rum?!

[JohnsLazy]

Out of all the things he'd cook this is the only thing I can't eat... Too sweet stuff makes me prone to vomiting lol

[taquenos]

tried this morning and mmmmmmm!

[mellejohn]

how can you follow the recipe 'as it's chemistry' if he doesn't tell you how much baking powder to put in???? Seems a whole lot long winded for pancakes if you ask me. Jamie Olivers version is much much easier.

[Batumanu]

@mellejohn: it's a teaspoon, that's it

[Batumanu]

@mellejohn: it's a tablespoon, that's it

[cupis997]

1:25 BUHTAR BONANAS

[JKwon34]

no wonder the americans are so fucking fat

[ianman6]

@rayt88 Yup, it is. Typical buttermilk batter.

[joedawinger]

If only I had buttermilk.

[dickylee12]

wow now thoes r pancakes..oh boy

[TehBladeRawr]

So Epic, i dont know why compared to other food channels where they studder to tell you and are corny

[BluePlue]

I think my mouth just jizzed.

[stamfordthebeast]

BE CAREFUL WITH THE CARAMEL. my first too attempts on it were terrible

[illuminati503]

but i drank all my rum D=

[MrAstropop99]

done!!!

[condiersea]

wow i never eat pancakes like this. if Bisquick doesn't box it i don't eat it.

[DannyAces]

That turned from breakfast into not-breakfast really quickly

[LordNelson87]

@DannyAces

lol

[303shotgun]

@DannyAces Who says pancakes have to be for breakfast? lol.

[faithm]

i dont recall ever seeing a pancake recipe like that but i can see it as a recipe here for sure.

[mcraregreat234543]

Ah thats where i went wrong :)

[bittersweetdark1]

I'm seriously drooling over this. It looks fucking delicious. I love this man.

[palaiding]

YOU AIN'T GOT NO PANCAKE MIX

[yoghurt734]

[ValisFan4]

Ramsay uses a lot of eggs in his pancakes. The recipe I use only uses 1 egg.

[VertigaDesignMEDIA]

fucking too pro

[AmaterianAngel]

buttermilk = butter and milk???

[nova2759]

@AmaterianAngel it was the milk leftover after butter churning back in the day, now it is made as butter milk, not as a by product

[HirAnd4]

@AmaterianAngel no there's actually a thing called buttermilk! :)

[Avrelsg]

why are e ingredients listed and what he says different? which one is accurate or is the ingredients listed scaled down? i would like to try it out ;)

[cprobosteuribe]

Hes a fucking genious, I live this guys program

[iceBravery]

sorry, but didn't he say 120ml of buttermilk?

[iceBravery]

and 150g. of flour?

[RMCKIE]

Where the hell can you buy buttermilk in Scotland?

[rabarino]

@RMCKIE Sainsbury's. Infect, most supermarkets i imagine

[Pepper6464]

Looks like an obese persons breakfast.

[mfdangerdoom899]

i want hose cakes nig

[Arcamea]

omg i can imagine that for breakfast

[SpencerMA89]

vaniller ice cream

[evilempire96]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[SkydanceShinigami]

Om nom nom. :3

[696TheDon696]

Man thats made me hungry...

[NobbyKNobbs]

Anyone know what I can substitute for rum? I wanna make this for the kids minus the alcohol.

[eveningblues1]

@NobbyKNobbs -The alcohol content burns off almost immedietly. However, you could try an apple cider or an acidic orange juice (pulp free).

[NobbyKNobbs]

@eveningblues1 thanks!

[anchorson]

@NobbyKNobbs

-I made it with apple cider and it was great..

[Alexandrious1]

The liquor is not gonna spoil your kids. If you really don't want to add it in there just let it go with no alcohol))

[wanyiren]

@NobbyKNobbs the alcohol will evaporate immediately, wat is left is the scent and aroma. so its gona be fine. my problem is, this recipe will be no doubt AMAZING coz it looks the part, but its gona be fatty. :)

[antpop1]

The breakfast of champions! :P lol

[Hospitaller]

Oh my GOD...

[Lisanab]

*gurgle* that looks so good. and buttermilk makes all the difference when making pancakes!

[etsengee]

mouth watering stuff (;

[TheKraustin]

I am totally making this now

[cijferr]

@TheKraustin I lolled at your comment XD

Screw those pancakes bananas with liquor fck yeah.. oh and some suger

[bubblyface17]

yum:)

[40950999]

quick question, that 75ml cup of water from the beginning, where did that go?

[SICWITH1T]

Whisked in with the buttermilk.

[davidontherocks]

According to the recipe he has a total amount of 1,3 litres of liquid in this batter, with only 100 grams of flour. It seems a lot to me.

And butter milk, can it roughly be drescribed as a little bit more fat milk? Here in Sweden we don't have anything called butter milk - but would milk with a high amount of fat do the job?

[foxbow15]

75 ml water and 120ml buttermilk that's 0.195 litres .... no where near 1.3 litres ... :S

and buttermilk.... have you ever heard of kärn mjölk ?

[davidontherocks]

ah, sorry, my bad. i'm not used with these odd measurements.

yes, but it's not a proper substitute. it's fairly odd and old fashioned as well.

[foxbow15]

it's exactly the same stuff...

[LEISL1990]

@davidontherocks

i think he put 75 ml of water, 125 ml of buttermilk and 200 grams of flour.

so the batter isnt gonna be too runny

buttermilk is not milk with high fat content as the name suggests.

its actually a cultured milk with some acid in it.

I think using milk will be absolutely fine

[tititasanden]

What are you talking about? you need 1000 ml for a litre. Here you don't even use a quarter of litre...

[antfiresbetter]

Buttermilk is the liquid after butter has been made from whole milk. An adequate substitute is skim milk with a dash of lemon juice in it for acidity. It may curdle, but that should be ok.

[CT2507]

@antfiresbetter are u sure about using skim milk? the buttermilk on this video looks even thicker than whole milk.

[MrPlanx]

@davidontherocks - If you are in Sweden, use Kefir. Same thing as buttermilk these days. A long time ago there was a difference between the two, but that's ancient history.

[davidontherocks]

Great, thanks!

[emmerton]

man cool down... you are too stressy

[anchorson]

would it be ok if I use honey instead of caramel?

[papercuts777]

Use honey but add the butter and rum, as well. U have to fine tune it.

Good luck!

[WeaponUser2]

I want it!!!

[Arnatuile11]

easy recipe.

[JarvisMunji]

Looks yummy !

[IckyKabooboo]

This is really a great and easy recipe.

It has become one of my favorites, to make and to eat.

Thank you G.R.

[BrandiBroke2195]

looks yum!

[duraznostj]

I disagree with beating the batter smooth. The lumps will cook out in the pan. I personally prefer a thicker pancake than what what Gordon made (see Alton Brown's recipe), but still looks delicious!

[ValorUnlimited]

Seen this episode. He says:

"No wonder Americans are so fat."

LoL.

[quetathemodel]

I love you!!

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

genuis. i'll do that tomorrow. no more mac shit.

[ReillyB87]

I tried this, but I think I did something wrong. It tasted really bitter. I didn't use any rum/alcohol. Anyone have any ideas as to what went wrong, or is it supposed to be bitter?

[chewhawha]

you either didn't burn off the alcohol or you burned the sugar when making the caramel. probably the latter.

[ReillyB87]

I wondered if that was the problem. thanks! wel  I'm glad that the pancakes aren't supposed to taste like that!

[rsk8ter55]

I also tried this and my bananas came out very bitter as well. I also did not use alcohol. I think that I might have burnt the sugar, though I'm not entirely certin.

[ReillyB87]

I tried it again and this time they weren't bitter, but the sauce just didn't taste good. I'm thinking either I just don't like the taste of it, or the rum is an essential part of the dish...

[justabloke1]

Made this and it was really nice.

Sprinkled a few finely chopped roasted almonds on top too.

Really nice.

Can't wait for my college catering course to start!

[xXeternity2008xX]

master of cookery- Gordan Ramsey

[roykim78]

Made this and was so delicious. Make sure you don't skip the bourbon...it gives it a very deep, rich flavor.

[bonzaibb12]

I would never cook my pancakes again in nonstick after tasting them from a cast iron skillet the taste is so much better because it picks op some of the seasoning embedded in the pan.

[CescoPisicoli]

you should clean ur pans...lmao

[inkey2]

to bonzaibb12: you are right. There is nothing better to cook bacon, egges or pancakes in than an "old, seasoned" cast iron skillet. When my mom passes away (she is 86 now) the first thing I am grabbing out of her house is the 50 year old cast iron skillet

[liltd87]

i'm debating on whether i should caramelize plantains or bananas

[tehblizz]

plantains are great

[robotwolf]

I only use plantains for savory recipes.  Better go with banana; more natural sugar in them.

[liltd87]

i went went the bananas and i'm going to stick with syrup. i didn't like it

[justabloke1]

I'm debating on learning what Plantains are.

[ginogrz]

genetic precursor to what we call bananas today. they don't have much sugar and taste completely different, so they're usually used for cooking.

[inthepooper6400]

Made this, but replaced rum with grappa.

It was godly.

[Seyahhsod]

**Now looking up WTF "grappa" is**

(thought he was telling us he cooked his grandfather and ate him)

[Marbellapartyppl]

grappa is a italian liquior

[briky71]

when do you put the water in please?

[Seyahhsod]

Sugar (melt)

buttah,

Bananas (stir)

GRAPPA... (flames)

Water

[Seyahhsod]

.......and be sure whatever alcohol you use it is %70 proof or more

[Beliserius1]

thats how you make caramel????

REALLY?

crap... i should try it!

[snowblazer12]

he makes it look so easy.

[Dogwithrabiez]

I've made this several times already, but I've never had the chance to add rum in it, since I'm not a drinker and I don't have any in the house. I'm not going to buy a bottle specifically for this recipe, either. If anyone has tried it both with and without rum, what would be the flavour difference in this?

[snowblazer12]

with rum im guessing the sweetness would increase

and enhance teh flavor of the bananas more

[skiguy330]

Well I can't attest to the flavor because I've only made it with rum, but if I were you I'd go buy yourself a cheap bottle of rum specifically for cooking. I just bought a 375ml bottle of cheap gold rum for less than $5.00. Since the recipe only calls for a splash, you could make it 100 times on $5.00. Think of it like another addition to your spice rack...

[illtakeit2thegrave]

O shit. breakfast has never been that wonderful. Gordan, you're my hero.

[afterapplepicking]

The guy has like a hundred million dollars and he's the best chef of his generation and the best thing he had to wear was that sweater?

That's a Cosby sweater. A COSBY sweater!!!

[CescoPisicoli]

ya but Kanye West is rocking Cosby sweaters now too!...lol

[canadianmaple09]

Salt in pancakes? Ramsay adds salt to absolutely everything! There is no need at all for salt in this recipe.

[opensourcethong]

i think it's intended to stop the whole thing from tasting too sweet

[DaRkLoRdZoRc]

Pancakes normally have a little salt in the mix. Just like a regular cake. It helps keep the batter from getting too loose and watery.

[tranceviking]

the salt helps absorbs the water and makes pancakes a bit more easier to handle in the prosess but also the salt is intendend to make the pancakes taste a bit less sweet. In this recipe hes using the bananas coverd in caramel...thats all the sweetening he really need for hes pancakes...

[CescoPisicoli]

dude, there is salt in EVERYTHING!

In choc. milk, in pancakes, in chocolate bars...

[Dkouts57]

i can make most of his fish dishes but i cant fukin make this. I suck ass. Only thing that tastes good on my scotch pancakes is the haiigen danz

[PaineHeaven]

lolz try harder every time you try you'll improve one day it'll turn out nice and yumm I believe in you you can do it =3

[b33133rice]

That would be a hell of a way to wake

up in the morning, but I want some right fu$%ing now!

[PaineHeaven]

stop cussing =3=

[b33133rice]

Sorry, but that's not gonna to happen!

[PaineHeaven]

lol

[koreanmob08]

DAMN!!! that is awesome.

[brassmonkey84]

hmm, i'm curious about the adding of rum. once the pan catches fire, how do i put it out?

[ZacharyDuhamel]

the alcohol burns away in a few seconds so the fire goes away

[brassmonkey84]

woo. okok, so long i don't burn my entire house down

[PaineHeaven]

me either

[LikeAPossum]

It cooks off within ~10 seconds. You would usually have to set it on fire yourself in the first place, so have a lighter or sth ready and be careful.

[reynalddavid871]

how about a banana liquer?

[hassan3o7]

mine never cook in the middle even at low tempreture WHY!!!

im really crap at this lol

[breakdancerQ]

gosh im hungry

[abbielinax3]

rum is scary :D

he makes it look

really easy lol,

id probs burn them or

set the pancakes on fire

not the stuff :D

[0nlyLewis]

Awesome!

[CoolGirlCooking]

yum!

[kornkiddz]

wait... why the hell did he get rid of all the lumps? every other person knows to leave them in

[chefkoo]

you're not supposed to leave them in intentionally. they say leave them in, because if you over whisk it, they become tough. so for the sake of that not happening, lumps are acceptable. if you can no lumps without over whisking, then that's the way it should be done

[Dogwithrabiez]

If you're good enough, then you should get rid of the lumps. However, flour which has become agitated too much will activate the gluten, making it kind of chewy. While this is desirable for pizzas... Not so much for pancakes. However, should you be skilled enough to beat all the lumps away within some thirty seconds, there is no reason not to do so.
