WHO ISN’T TEAM CRISPY EDGES?
Recipe for pancakes is required.
Why would you add that much oil to wipe it away? Just dab some oil on your paper towel and wipe it on the surface. Same exact thing but you're not throwing away a spoonful of oil for every pancake.
I only cook with butter when I make pancakes. My pancakes don't cook the way you are claiming they would.
I think your video is BS.
Team No Teflon ☠️
crispy edges… butter swimming pool it is
Just put butter in the pan. Extra steps for what?
crispy edges 100% butter or bacon fat, preferably bacon fat. top it with butter
Crispy edges are integral
In my house in Venezuela when I was growing up we had two kinds of pancakes. "Panquecas" were thinner (but not as thin as a crepe) and eggier, "torticas" were thicker and a bit denser. Panquecas were cooked like option 1, and torticas like option 2.
My brain thinks pancakes = panquecas, so when someone says pancakes but cooks them crispy like torticas it trips me up, since they are two different things to me. 😂 it's so weird.
Team crispy edges, but you can't convince me these are pancakes, they're tiny pikelets. Pancakes are thin with a wide diameter.
Scottish pancakes 🤩
Team crispy edges! 😋 🥞
or team #3 – eat both and don’t stop until you’re blacked out on maple syrup
What about makin bacon pancakes? Bacon pancakes . . . makin bacon pancakes . . .
oil and butter are different in that one is hydrophobic
This is one of a bunch of different reasons for unevenly cooked pancakes
I like both X3
Top side smooth and the bottom weird 🙂
At home, crispy, professionally I always made them evenly browned.
Team butter for life!
Sir there’s a third team, team double stacks of both! Yes, I’m that team!
CRISPY ALL DAY!
doesn't matter what you do … the first side will look flat and even and the flipped side will be spotty and crispy …. he is being deceptive
Team crispy
ngl – I'd pound either.
I don't like crispy on my pancakes, so I guess that makes me team oil.
Team crispy all the way!
Smooth might look pretty but BUTTER IS BETTER! 😋
This whole time I just thought I magically became stupid when making pancakes, because mine nevervlooked perfect like my mom's & grandma's! 😅 It was just the butter.
Camp #3 put the batter in a waffle iron
It would be camp 2 but, I don't like pancakes.
Maybe I've only ever had the
Camp 1 kind…I'm not a breakfast person.
Haven't had one since I was a kid.
Hmmmm!?!
This also works with regular non-fluffy pancakes!
No need to make it camps, everyone likes what you call 2 as a default because it naturally has more fat.
If you’re really good, you bubble the butter on side one, and get the crispy goodness, and then you don’t add more oil before flipping and get that nice even golden syrup sponge.
Camp 2
I always use butter and could never figure out why I didn't get the smooth brown side. The more you know.
Bacon grease!
Camp 2 is the correct answer sir
All my pancakes come out with both. First side pour comes out crispy and the second flip side comes out smooth and evenly browned. Because the first side absorbs most of the grease and second side only has the residual coating of grease to cook on.
Yummy 😊!!!
The butter method is much more appealing. 🤤
First pancake looks artificial and very neat. Second pancake looks interesting and enticing. There’s no comparison. 🤷🏾♀️
thats just wasting a spoon of oil if you put butter on there. what was i just looking at?
Crispy Crispy Crispy!!!
We call the type 1 pancakes american style here in Ireland. Not a huge fan of them tbh. I think that's the sort iHop and mcdonalds do and they're both uber meh
