Wow Rick. You are making me quite nostalgic. You make and serve Pancakes just like my old Mam God Rest her dear soul. That is precisely how the mither used to make them with sugar and lemon juice. Ta muchly Rik old son. Take care!
On special occasions we would serve these with a thickened fruit compote (blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apples etc.), finished off with a generous dollop of whipped cream. To die for!
Many many years ago i got sick of the thick pancakes people liked so much here. I like the thin ones. They seem to taste better. So i started making them just like you are doing. I never realized i was making british pancakes. I was just making them the way i thought they should be. I do add a little butter on each one as it finishes cooking. I love butter on them. Next time i make them and my kids ask why they are so thin i will tell them they are british pancakes. I havent tried them with lemon juice. Some lemon juice and a little powdered sugar (granulated sugar is too gritty) and some butter would be perfect. Loved this video. Thanks!
Just like my lovely Welsh mam used to make them when I was a kid. Been living in America 30 years now so it’s about time I made a batch of these good old British pancakes. Thank you ❤️
I've made these for my grandchildre and i'm happy to say the way they love them most is with lemon juice and sugar. May not be the best for their teeth but gives them great joy, just now and again 😊 x
Good to know that Tuesday is pancake day! The family will love getting these for dinner. 😊👍🏻 I'm in the States, but we prefer this style you have here over the thick, fluffy pancakes 🥞 traditional served in the US.
Thank you for mixing that with a whisk instead of a machine. I have a tiny kitchen and I have no room for a mixer and you make it look like anyone can make it.
I haven't made these in ages! looks so good! Thanks again for another great vid! Every time that notification bell shows up I pop over to your channel to see the latest. Your vids are so helpful and also relaxing and enjoyable without distracting music etc. I really love your style !
Pancakes are really popular in South Africa. You can get them at any church bazaar as well as most supermarkets, boot sales and even markets. I might have a go tomorrow if the electricity is on for a change.
I lived there for 11 years until 1977 It was a better place back then (never had issues with electricity or water) we also used to have this type of flat pancakes every now and then with sugar lemon or jam and a little sprinkle of cinnamon
My Welsh Grandmother and other's in Wales 60 odd years ago added currants or sultanas to the pancake after pouring into the frying pan so that they laid on top of the batter while cooking and then flipped them over to cook on the other side. When taken out of the pan and placed on a plate while still hot, she would then squeeze fresh lemon juice and sugar over them. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for your recipes I love old fashioned British cooking.
Never tried that. I've always had only lemon juice and sugar on my pancakes. However, every day is a schoolday, so I'll add some sultanas next time I make a batch.
These are similar to the ones I’ve had in Holland in the pancake houses. They serve them flat with a million toppings offered. Most popular are bacon & or cheese. So yummy!
Made them tonight. Will stuff with cinnamon and butter fried apples for breakfast in the morning. Can't wait! Edit: couldn't wait. Last one was mine smeared with elderberry jelly. Perfect! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Thanks for this recipe!! My mother used to make this the traditional way for a hurried breakfast, stuffed with grated coconut and dry fruits when she had time and an Indian version with onions,green chillies, cumin and coriander leaves
Morning Rik, I am so glad you mentioned the first pancake was always rubbish ,mine always are so I end up eating it while the second one is cooking but why is that ? We have them with sugar & lemon ,syrup optional ❤
Good morning! Mostly we haven't got used to the pan temperature it happens to the majority or people. There will be others say it never happens to them! A pancake is about controlling the heat in the pan. You know by now I say it as it is - no fluff on this channel. Best, Rik
Pancake tradition is also here in New Zealand. I agree, they're just lovely with a lemon from our tree and sugar. Pikelets include baking powder and rise fluffy, (they can be eaten hot or cold, very versatile). Topped with mixed fruit is delicious. Looks like pancakes for breakfast over the weekend. Thanks Rik.
We have the same in South Africa, but usually serve it with cinnamon and sugar. My mother also added nutmeg to the batter. Always used to eat it when it rained (back then rain was rare, not like now).
Delicious 😋 We make ours much the same way. I like to save a few and slice up some cheese, put onto one half of the pancake, a few spoons of baked beans & maybe some ham. I fold the pancakes or pancakes and heat until hot & the Cheese melted, add salt & done. It might be blasphemous to some, but that's my take on a more savory pancake.👍😋
Thank you for sharing your pancake recipe Rik I was hoping you would because apart from the reassurance of the recipe I just love the historical information and stories , I have mine with just lemon and sugar but my lot like syrup chocolate spread and ice cream 😂🥞🍋Amanda xx
never knew about British pancake, thank you for tutorial, very interesting, its more like crepe, I love sour taste but I will spread some peanut butter in, must be awesome😃
I’m from S Louisiana (Bayou); this 8:01 is exactly how my Maw-Maw taught me to make pancakes. closer to a crepe. I serve with a fruit compote or cane sugar syrup. Also in LA we eat King Cake (oval brioche w/sugar glaze) (puff pastry w/almond paste) Epiphany to Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday).
I'll be making these tomorrow for my Mr Misery. They're one thing he NEVER moans about 🤣 I'll be adding the melted butter this time as I've never done that before. Can't wait 😋
Hi ric you make the pancakes 🍳 just like my wonderful mum made all them years ago thank you for being back so many lovely recipes and lovely memories you and your lovely family take care Hilary x
Oh wow, the lemon juice! Will have to try that. Most cultures have their versions of this. Swedish pancakes-sprinkle sugar and cinnamon. My Ukrainian-Canadian mum made cheese rolls. A cottage cheese/egg mixture spread over crepe rolled, placed in baking dish and baked. Then sliced into bite size pieces. When we would come home from school and she was making cheese rolls (naleshnekea) she would let us sprinkle sugar on the crepe, roll and eat. What a treat!
Yumm - a very similar to my handed down recipe but I don't turn them until the batter bubbles. This gives them a delicious crunch😋 When all our kids were home we ate them for lunches as they cooked - fresh lemon and a sprinkle of sugar every time.
My family is 3/4 British on both sides. Those are the pacakes of my finest childhood memories. My mom's recipe. She called them Swedish Pancakes. A sacred thing to us❤🎉🇺🇲butter and strawberry jam
Rik, those pancakes look delicious! I'm USA born and raised; and I have only eaten traditional thick American pancakes. However, I will definitely try making British pancakes; thin with sugar and lemon. 😊
They did look like crepes to me too Yum. I love crepes so these thin light pancakes are right up my alley. I've never had pancakes with lemon, but am ready to try something different. I live in the states, and here I'm used to eating thick pancakes with maple syrup. I even add chocolate chips in the batter occasionally when I'm in a chocolate mood. I'm ready to try them the British way. Thanks chef for your wonderful recipes that finally add variety in my life. 😊❤
I use a simple measurement system which is ideal for 1 person to do several pancakes. Just get a standard cup, and do a cup of flour, a cup of milk, 1 egg and a pinch of salt.
Never have lumps in mine, adding the milk a little at a time. For small amounts one egg. Never add melted butter. Always use a little lard to grease the pan as butter is quick to burn.
You probably wouldn't like what I normally put in my 'British' pancakes... (even though my mum is Dutch and she made this style pancake, saying they were 'Dutch'). Being an Aussie I have them like your filling too but I crank mine to have various fillings... smeared Vegemite and honey (don't knock it till you try it) or ketchup, or just thin strips of bacon (quickly fried) with maple syrup.
I sprinkle far more sugar and dribble more lemon juice. Golden syrup gets it's own pancake. I do love apricot jam on mine. My pancakes are British I'm South African.
Hi Ric. I would just like to say you have got me back in the kitchen. I’ve retired now and it’s nice to be able to get in there more. My poor husband has put on over half a stone….ive brought a book so I can write your recipes down in. Never realised you have such a large and varied playlist. Please keep it up. There is one thing my mum made and if you have a recipe for that I would like to see you make it. It was a pork cheese. It had chunks of meat in not like you would see where it’s been minced to an inch of its life. Anyway Ric I love all your work and look forward to your next download.
@@BackyardChef HI Ric, all I can remember was she put pork hocks in a large saucepan all with its trotters. Like they did in those day boiled the hell out of it. When it was falling off the bones she took then out and chopped the meat into chunks after removing the skin . We didn’t mind the gristly bits as we all enjoyed that part. I know not everyone’s cup of tea but it was ours lol. She then put it back into the water / stock it was cooked in and boiled it again to reduce the liquid. After that it was but into a basin , weighted done with a saucer and left to cool and placed in fridge to firm up. It was served in wedges with malt vinegar chips . I don’t know if she put and flavourings in with the cooking water. She didn’t use those sort of things. A very plain but tasteful cook my mum was. I think the only spices she had in the cupboard was salt, pepper and gravy salt. I have tried to make it as my husband loves brawn which around here is minced god knows what. But I just can’t get it like hers. Perhaps the saying no one cooks better than your mum is true. Anyway hope this helps. I’ve introduced my brother to your channel and shared recipes to my mates. You are such a down to earth chef and I look forward to your vlogs. I follow John Kirkwood on you tube and like you is a straight forward , no nonsense person. He has written cookbooks which know sit in my bookcase. If ever you go down that route there is plenty of space on the shelf for them. If there wasn’t I would certainly make space. Anyway Ric thanks for all your hard work. Keep safe. Norma
Thank you. Great reading. I dont know John and I don't have time to follow anyone just yet. Maybe in a bit. Thanks again. Best, Rik@@normawilkinson3642
Just been talking about Pancake day with my son yesterday.. in Germany we do them once and again during the year, will say, no special occasion like in GB 🇬🇧 we use either a sugar-cinnamon mix or ice cream or applesauce 😊😋
I'd forgotten that it's pancake day tomorrow. I've not made pancakes for quite sometime. Yours look delicious. I just have lemon juice and sugar on mine.
Magic, mate. We used to spread Tate and Lyle's golden syrup on 'em then roll 'em up and slice 'em up. Memories of childhood -- more than 70 years ago!!!!
Mix a pancake, Stir a pancake, Pour it in the pan. Fry a pancake, Toss a pancake, Catch it if you can! Happy memories of many Shrove Tuesdays/Pancake days. Tomorrow ill have savoury; ham, cheese and tomatoe, Chocolate, banana and peanut butter but thebest fir me us always ending with sugar and lemon. Thanks Rik
So good to see this - I really don't like N. American style pancakes. I our house my Dad was the pancake cooker and sugar/lemon juice was our topping of choice. Must give these a try. Thanks!
We made these this morning. Delish!! A new favourite! Thanks! Do you have a decent recipe for Kegeree? Its something I love but really struggle with. And living in the center of North America good fish is hard to find. But if you post a video I will try, try again! Is it Kedgeree? Kegeree? or Kedgerie? LOL
I learned about British pancakes during lockdown. I met a Yorkshireman on Tinder… don’t judge me too hard haha. We had video meals together. We’d pick something and make it. It was pancakes for his breakfast/my dinner(I’m in Canada) one night and I was confused, because I thought he made crepes
@@BackyardChef Canada send its love back. Hey! if you wrap bangers and mash in a pancake, you could have a British burrito. Maple syrup would be delicious on that.
they look amazing will be trying these 2moro couls i ask what make of hob is that portable hob as i have induction hob and wanting a gas one for my wok and for curries
That is fascinating about the roots of the humble pancake- I go a bit posh on shove Tuesday I call them crepes 😂 o purchased a crepe plate it makes them perfect although it takes Practice using the T swivel thingy. Ric is it on your list of makes in the future to make pork pies with jelly in the pies. I feel as time has passed there doesn’t seem to be any tasty ones with a nice layer of jelly. I would really love to know how with your tips and tricks. Do your first one turn out good- by the 3 rd one they seem to be better.
Rik, can you tell me what size pan you're using? Looks like 10" or 12" (25.4 cm or ~30.5 cm), but I can't tell for sure. Thanks in advance! Love having another pancake recipe in the repertoire!! Thanks!!
@BackyardChef Oh, thank you so much! I have a multi-use 11" pan that should work pretty nicely, then. (Coincidentally, I recently bought it, not only to stovetop braise or use it in the oven, but also to double my pancake-making capacity to 4 at once.🥞 I make American-style pancakes, and like to experiment with different grain, seed, and nut flours - oat, millet, sorghum, teff, flax, chia, almond, hazlenut, pecan, even coconut - served with different types of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. They often turn out more dense and hearty than fluffy, and that's OK with me!) I've never tried the English style of pancake before. Looking forward to it!
Did you know that the town of Liberal, Kansas, in the US has a running competition with Olney in the pancake race? I wonder if these would make an acceptable substitute for moo shu pancakes, which look to me an awful lot like work.
Wow Rick. You are making me quite nostalgic. You make and serve Pancakes just like my old Mam God Rest her dear soul. That is precisely how the mither used to make them with sugar and lemon juice. Ta muchly Rik old son. Take care!
You are welcome mate. The best way I reckon but others like different. Best, Rik
On special occasions we would serve these with a thickened fruit compote (blueberries, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apples etc.), finished off with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
To die for!

Can’t give pancake day a miss!
Thank you for mixing that with a whisk instead of a machine. I have a tiny kitchen and I have no room for a mixer and you make it look like anyone can make it.
Thank you. Anyone can - I hope you give it a go. Best, Rik
You can get handheld electric mixers. I use one. Take out the beaters, and keep it in a cupboard, use with a high-sided bowl.
I love a bit of history too❤
Agreed. Its nice to know. Best, Rik
My mother made pancakes like that, thin, rolled up, and garnished with butter, sugar, and lemon juice.
Delicious! Best, Rik
That’s what I miss in New Zealand, Shrove Tuesday. I like the sugar and lemon juice. Enjoy all your videos. Cheers from New Zealand.

Sounds good! Best, Rik

Yes just so simple to knock up. Thank you. Best, Rik

Wow, he does like them! Best, Rik
This is like what I grew up calling German pancakes ... sprinkled with sugar and rolled up or stacked and cut in wedges ...
Thank you. Best, Rik
I made these. Very good and filling.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum! It will be pancakes for me tomorrow, English style!
Hope you enjoy Best, Rik
Just been talking about Pancake day with my son yesterday.. in Germany we do them once and again during the year, will say, no special occasion like in GB 🇬🇧 we use either a sugar-cinnamon mix or ice cream or applesauce 😊😋
Oh wow! Sounds great. Best, Rik
If you make very thin you can serve with cheese sauce or chicken in white sauce or even salmon with asparagus
Wow! Lovely. Best, Rik
Strange to see them fried in butter instead of lard. Nice, I'm sure, but not how we used to make them. Spot on with the sugar and Jif though :)
Lard will sort them. Best, Rik
I'd forgotten that it's pancake day tomorrow. I've not made pancakes for quite sometime. Yours look delicious. I just have lemon juice and sugar on mine.
Hope you enjoy best, Rik
I tend to use two pans, as mine get eaten straight away so have to keep churning them out. 😅
Sounds like you are busy. Best, Rik
My mouth is watering 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you. Best, Rik
Magic, mate. We used to spread Tate and Lyle's golden syrup on 'em then roll 'em up and slice 'em up. Memories of childhood -- more than 70 years ago!!!!
Thanks for sharing, Phil. Good old days eh? Best, Rik
Every thing I do but never tried Golden syrup, worth a try, how could it be bad? ThAnks, like the Doble flip.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Mix a pancake,
Stir a pancake,
Pour it in the pan.
Fry a pancake,
Toss a pancake,
Catch it if you can!
Happy memories of many Shrove Tuesdays/Pancake days.

Chocolate, banana and peanut butter but thebest fir me us always ending with sugar and lemon.

I'm coming round to yours, sounds fantastic. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef You are welcome, but a bit of a trek; I'm a Brit currently living in Oklahoma, USA
Love to Oklahoma. Best, Rik@@jillfrancis8380
So good to see this - I really don't like N. American style pancakes. I our house my Dad was the pancake cooker and sugar/lemon juice was our topping of choice. Must give these a try. Thanks!
Sounds great! Steady away these, Terry. Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
We made these this morning. Delish!! A new favourite! Thanks!
Do you have a decent recipe for Kegeree? Its something I love but really struggle with. And living in the center of North America good fish is hard to find. But if you post a video I will try, try again!
Is it Kedgeree? Kegeree? or Kedgerie? LOL
Thank you. I do. Decent fish is hard to come by where I am at the moment. Best, Rik
Love it! These do look like crepes. In the USA we call that 'slice' a 'spatula'. I'm sure they are light and delicious.
Thank you for sharing. Yes, I guess they do, similar. Best, Rik
😋 👍
Ta very muchly. Best, Rik
Cheers mate, life saver.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Malaysian make pancakes like this too.
Sounds, good. Best, Rik
Yes it's TRUE the first one has always been a disaster for me .❤
For most people if they are honest. Best, Rik
What applies in pancakes, applies in life in general: just don’t panic 😂.
Great Stuff Rik
Cheers, David. Best, Rik
My Mum always made ours with currants, finished off with sugar and lemon juice.
Lovely. Best, Rik
My mum added currants . Thanks Rik
Sounds good, mate. Best, Rik
How about Scottish crumpets or regular crumpets, sometime soon perhaps?
Sounds like a plan. Best, Rik
I learned about British pancakes during lockdown. I met a Yorkshireman on Tinder… don’t judge me too hard haha. We had video meals together. We’d pick something and make it. It was pancakes for his breakfast/my dinner(I’m in Canada) one night and I was confused, because I thought he made crepes
Thank you for sharing. No judgement here! i can understand the confusion. Love to Canada. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Canada send its love back. Hey! if you wrap bangers and mash in a pancake, you could have a British burrito. Maple syrup would be delicious on that.
What a great suggestion. Best, Rik@@Sandywarhol645
they look amazing will be trying these 2moro couls i ask what make of hob is that portable hob as i have induction hob and wanting a gas one for my wok and for curries
Gavin, there are many different makes however they all very similar. Have a look at this amzn.to/4bBAhqx Best, Rik
thanks rik ur a diamond @@BackyardChef
No worries, Gavin if I can help I will mate. Best, Rik@@gavinchapaz9515
Yes the first pancake is for the doggie. I use whole meal flour mixed with white and a cast iron skillet. It’s very like a crepe it a Swedish pancake
Sounds amazing! Best, Rik
That is fascinating about the roots of the humble pancake- I go a bit posh on shove Tuesday I call them crepes 😂 o purchased a crepe plate it makes them perfect although it takes Practice using the T swivel thingy.
Ric is it on your list of makes in the future to make pork pies with jelly in the pies. I feel as time has passed there doesn’t seem to be any tasty ones with a nice layer of jelly. I would really love to know how with your tips and tricks.
Do your first one turn out good- by the 3 rd one they seem to be better.
First one always rubbish. Here have a look at this pork pie recipe there are 3 on the channel th-cam.com/video/Ukm2S1jeep0/w-d-xo.html Best, Rik
Rik, can you tell me what size pan you're using? Looks like 10" or 12" (25.4 cm or ~30.5 cm), but I can't tell for sure. Thanks in advance!
Love having another pancake recipe in the repertoire!! Thanks!!
Yes I can - I've just measured. The pan is 29cm x 5 cm. Hope this helps. Best, Rik
@BackyardChef Oh, thank you so much! I have a multi-use 11" pan that should work pretty nicely, then. (Coincidentally, I recently bought it, not only to stovetop braise or use it in the oven, but also to double my pancake-making capacity to 4 at once.🥞 I make American-style pancakes, and like to experiment with different grain, seed, and nut flours - oat, millet, sorghum, teff, flax, chia, almond, hazlenut, pecan, even coconut - served with different types of honey or maple syrup to sweeten. They often turn out more dense and hearty than fluffy, and that's OK with me!) I've never tried the English style of pancake before. Looking forward to it!
Go for it; I think you are OK with making it. Thanks for sharing. Good reading. Best, Rik@@patriciamorgan6545
Wonderful but we put more sugar with fresh orange juice👍🏻🇬🇧
Sounds great! Best, Rik
I Have salt & vinegar in my pancakes x
Mouth watering. Thanks you. Best, Rik
Did you know that the town of Liberal, Kansas, in the US has a running competition with Olney in the pancake race?
I wonder if these would make an acceptable substitute for moo shu pancakes, which look to me an awful lot like work.
I didn't know. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
