Howdy folks how's it going welcome to my *** kitchen it's Barry here and with pancake day
coming up why not crank it up to eleven this Year by trying me Eton Mess Pancake Cake good
times. It looks amazing right and I can't stop staring
at it i'm like wow did I actually make that a couple of Years ago I actually made a pancake
for the first time so here's a couple of old pancake videos i've done through the Years
you actually see me tossing and Phoebe tossing for the first time that sounds so wrong but
yeah get some inspiration from there and sort of build up to this if you're not ready for
that yet and trust me it's a lot easier than it looks you may actually call pancake cakes
something different where you live Jenny Gordon put on my Facebook page she calls it a ***
Cake so I googled that and Urban dictionary came up which gave me a whole new meaning
to the word anyhow hope you give this a try if you want to do it hit pause on the video
now write all these ingredients down ings write them down this is how you do it.
We'll start by making our batter this is Jamie Oliver's my pancake day recipe hence the hashtag
we're gonna crack an egg into a mixing bowl then add in our salt, milk and flour then
whisk away til fully combined and lump free. Grab yourself a non-stick pan over a medium
flame and tip in your oil work the oil all around until it's nice and hot and then grab
a ladle of your batter plonk that in the pan and again work that around you wanna cook
it until it's nice and browned underneath it might start to bubble have a little check
and once your ready you can either toss it or simple flip it over until it's browned
again on the other side and then you just want to leave it to rest on some greaseproof
paper while you work through your other pancakes. So yeah repeat those steps until you've got
a nice stack of pancakes between greaseproof paper i'm not gonna show you all these steps
because it'll be like that film groundhog day - now make a pancake, now make a pancake,
now make a pancake this is how we make our pancake cake grab yourself a mixing bowl and
commence whipping your cream until lightly thickened then after bashing up the meringue
nests you want to fold them into the cream using a spatula until thoroughly combined
now we build the cake by putting a pancake on the bottom of a cake stand and getting
a good 2 dollops of cream on top spreading it all around so it's nice and even then some
strawberry slices on top and you simple just repeat these steps all the way up basically
go as high as you like really. Ok so two things that are really important and perhaps i'm
re-living a little bit of my construction industry background here make sure your cream
layers are nice and level you don't need to get a spirit level on it you don't have to
be that sophisticated but if you make them uneven it's gonna be like a leaning tower
of pisa leaning tower of pisa pancake cake that would be amazing but you don't really
want that because eventually it will go like that and also with your strawberries make
sure they are evenly sliced too because if you have big fat slabs and then little discs
again leaning tower of pisa pancake which I really wish I made now but maybe i'll do
that again so that's it make it and you'll love it your top layer is done by putting
on a good old layer of cream get some extra bashed up meringue nests some strawberry on
top and then why not drizzle why not ruin the whole thing by drizzling chocolate on
top thats completely optional but I love chocolate that my friends looks amazing.
O to the M to the G guys I am loving this I wanna stick my face in it and moterboat
