A old welsh lady sadly now passed used to make these ,I asked her what they were and she told me her nangee(grandmother) taught her to make them. I said I had never heard of them let alone tasted them so she sat me right down at her table( lace tablecloth and all) and presented me with two of these perfectly formed pancakes. A squeeze of lemon juice and a dusting of icing sugar. What a delight to eat. She never gave me the recipe so thanks for telling me how. ❤
*Mam-gu, not nangee, is used in southern Cymru, whereas in the north, Nain is used. As is the case with most Welsh Nain’s (or Mam-gu’s), you’ll never leave their house hungry!
When I was growing up a neighbour used to make the traditional ones. I'd sit at the kitchen table and have a share of the fresh, piping hot ones. American pancakes never quite hit the mark... Thanks for the recipe, time to make my own!
You have shattered my unfounded prejudices concerning British Isles cooking. I've added many of your recipes to my simple style of widower meals. Thank you.
Speaking as someone who has grown up visiting the British Isles rather frequently, it's almost... amusing how much that reputation is there for people who've never eaten in the Isles. Yes, a lot of traditional British dishes can be "stodgy," but that doesn't make them bland or unappealing. I just recently visited England for the first time in over a decade, and I had an absolute blast, especially when it came to the food. Honestly, the best meal that I had during that trip was from a seafood shack built into the side of a harbor down in Cornwall, but really... I didn't have a bad meal the entire trip. British food is one of their best-kept secrets!
This is a great instructional document. I'm on a pancake, frybread kick right now and I'm trying to learn all the different methods of doing this. Thanks very much!
I eat 'American' style at least once a week. I add a little vanilla in mine. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas all go good. Of course being a Yank it must be maple syrup. I will try these old timey ones...any food with the word "pancakes" in it is guaranteed to be good. Thanks Rik :)
You are very welcome. I am pleasantly surprised about the old recipes especially using yeast in something like this. It works! They knew what they were doing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi both, I MAKE scotch pancakes at home, 1-cup of selfrasing flour and the same in milk .And 1-large egg ,AND maybe add a spoonful of natural yogurt IF I HAVE some .As these don't need to proove as no yeast .SO nice AND easy to MAKE. I ALso melt butter AND fold IT into the mix.Thay are very much like what you made ,BUT NO yeast ,scotch pancakes do exactly the same with the bubbles to the top then flipped over .with butter AND jam .😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Another great cooking vlog, Rik, my wee grand-daughter loves PANCAKES 🥞 as we call them in Scotland , I made them for her Sunday breakfast for a wee treat, I use flour, eggs sugar and milk 👍🏻
It's a good thing that I still have lots and lots of frozen wild blueberries to use up from last summer! I can't wait to make this recipe, it looks right up my alley 😊
Oh my goodness! They both look delicious but I have to say my preference will be the old and traditional to the modern! Guess what I’ll be having for dinner tonight! Thanks so much for the recipes, my friend. ❤️🐈
AHA!!! So THIS is where we got pancakes from!!! Thank You Rik!! I bet these taste great with mandarine preserves!! Question: could you replace the buttermilk with Greek yogurt?? Cheers from NYC!!!!
Congratulations and thank you - you have made us Crempoggers! I am a Welshman, living in Mexico. Like most Welsh, I do not speak the Welsh language. I had never heard of this recipe. For me, as a Valleys kid in the 60s and 70s, normal regular thin Pancake Day British pancakes were what it was all about. My wife, being Mexican, was brought up on the thick fluffy American versions, which I have never cared for. But today, I followed your traditinoal Crempog recipe and I had my Crempog, as you suggest, with some bacon and mushrooms. My wife chose to go the sweet route and poured blue agave syrup over hers. 10 out of 10, from the pair of us!
If I may, with traditional yeast, one would activate it in lukewarm water with sugar, but absolutely not milk. I believe it’s because the salt content of milk is too high. Not sure if the yeast wasn’t responding because of that.
Even ‘crempog’ has variants across Wales. In south Wales these are called ‘pancos’. In northern Ceredigion ‘poncage’. And in some parts of the south are called ‘pice’ or ‘pice pregethwyr’ (preachers’ pancakes), the idea being that they were made especially for when the local pastor came to tea.
In America we leave the pancake until the little bubbles pop and leave an open spot, (very similar to crumpets) before flipping them. This way they get a little browner, and rise up better once they are flipped. You should never have to turn it again bottoms up. I am interested in trying the Welsh style pancake!
Hi, I was showing my Husband, who is from Barnsley, Sth Yorkshire; your recipes and he particularly wanted to try the Corned Beef Cottage Pie. We thoroughly enjoyed it last night and consequently, we saved some other of your recipes to try also. So thank you very much for sharing your recipes and skills.
Agreed, Neil. You know cooking with yeast as you know isn't just for bread making. Its an ingredient that has been used for hundreds of years unlike the Baking powders / sodas of this world. Best, Rik
In the 1970's I remember my grandma used to make the traditional version from the 'mother' she used in her bread baking. I suppose they were like sourdough pancakes that are so popular today. She loved them with a few very large spoonfuls of Lancashire ham shank broth on top of them.
My mother used to make the Crempog version when I was a wee boy (some 40 odd years ago in Northern Ireland) on a cast iron skillet, we just called them pancakes as per normal. Tasted amazing and I've never had pancakes the same since. Been to Florida a yew times and I find the US one's too sweet. You sure brought back some memories with this one... still hate the taste of Buttermilk though. lol.
Looks like mine. 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!! My 🥞,s are fluffy already. But I wonder 🤔 if they could be even better now! I have over 40 years in the bakery business. Goes to show, you can always learn something new. I'm gonna scroll more of your food. I've never thought of using yeast 🤔. It's kinda funny...😂, My baking powder was too old to make pancakes 🥞 just a week ago or so. I have yeast! Leavener. I'm gonna have to watch this one again 🤦🏻♀️! Using up Data!!! 🤷♀️. I gotta make 🥞's using yeast!!!! The cabbage 🥬 dish.......❤❤❤❤❤! I'm so happy I subscribed. Thank you!
I tend to look up stuff that I need to use up. I need to use up a little bit of flour that's been in my fridge. I been going to make pancakes 🥞 for a while lol 🤷♀️. I even have a small baggie of wild hand picked blueberries 🫐 in my freezer. Money 💰 is tight. I make the best pancakes 🥞 in the world 🌎 to me ☺️. I've been in the food industry since my 2 years of vocational school since 17. I'm a cake 🎂🍰 decorator. Baker etc. The thing about it is, you have to love it and at the same time.... you have to always realize that you can always learn something new from someone else.
My grandma's traditional recipe would have used one third of the flour replaced with fine oatmeal -- makes for a heavier, more rubbery pancake -- but good for sandwiching with fillings. Two pancakes sandwiched with egg and cheese.
We like your videos. Hubby is mostly Welsh but reside in US. Like your air fryer. Does it have a British plug? Hate to purchase one and not be able to use it.
I don't think I have eaten American (USA) style Pancakes. I have seen them being made, which is why I am not 100% sure if I ate one but I was always puzzled by then cos I like crepe style pancakes and did not know there was any other type. So I am not sure if I will try either of these. Maybe.
All pancakes are nice around the world. It boils down to choice. That's a good thing we can choose to eat or not. Worth a try, you may not like, there again. Best, Rik
I wonder whether they would originally have used ale barm to provide the yeast, back in the day? I should get some buttermilk; I often use yogurt instead, because I always have it on hand, but really love the special tang buttermilk brings to a batter. They usually start featuring it in grocery stores this time of year here (across the pond), because St. Patrick's Day is approaching, and it's used for soda bread. I'll bet I'd like the denser pancake. Yeast probably gave it some extra flavor as well. Lol, I ruined a frying pan making blueberry pancakes. The berries caramelized and stuck like iron, and I literally (after alternately soaking and scrubbing the pan for 4 days) had to scrape the remaining spots off with a sharp knife. Needless to say, the berries are served on the side now.😂
Both are excellent. However, working with yeast is tedious. Will it bloom? Yes the modern is just a regular pk, but in today's rush, rush I'd consider myself luck to get any breakfast.
Agree good idea putting onions in milk Definitely will do next time I make it. You could do a video making bubble a squeak similar ingredients just a different way of cooking them. Cheers Rik
American foods from colonial times were all brought from the people who settled this land. Some were modified for using supplies that were available. But all our food came with us from wherever. Fried chicken, a southern staple, came from Scotland. The African people added spices to it. Along with foods and ways of cooking from their homeland. American cooking is from all countries. The differences arose mostly from just using ingredients available. Pancakes almost all people have their own version. But anything thats called pancake has to be good.
Just need to get recipes that turn out looking and tasting like these for us who are allergic to gluten and lactose, { can buttermilk be made from lactose free milk?} Many thanks and much love for your channel.
Yes, buttermilk can be made from lactose-free milk, using a method similar to traditional buttermilk preparation. The process involves adding an acid to the milk, such as lemon juice or vinegar, or using a buttermilk culture. This acidification mimics the natural souring process of traditional buttermilk, leading to a product that has the tangy flavour and thicker consistency of buttermilk, without the lactose. This makes it suitable for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer lactose-free products. However, the taste and texture may vary slightly from traditional buttermilk made from lactose-containing milk. Best, Rik
Never been a fan of American pancakes, like a lot of what they cook, they contain way too much sugar! But will definitely give the traditional Welsh pancakes a try 👌
This is what I love about you and the folks on this channel you are all contributing, I love it. I have already scheduled. So that will be a yes. Thank you. Best, Rik
Both batters and cooked pancakes looked great Rik they look similar to our local pikelets that can be made plain or with dried fruit I make them often delicious eaten warm slathered in butter lol 🥞😋Amanda xx
I think you definitely should get Rob and Ryan to learn a few of these recipes for #WelcomeToWrexham . I learn some amazing recipes. Just think of His Majesty King Charles coming by for an afternoon snack of Rarebit and Anglesey eggs. You are doing a great service to educate and preserve cultural recipes for foodies around the globe. Fare play to you. 😊😊🎉🎉 Leeks and cabbage for breakfast? I am already incorporating Swede (turnip) in me breakfast because of you.
American here. But my 2 cents: usually before you turn these over to the other side, you wait until the raw side is no longer runny. That is how you know the underside is nicely browned.
@@BackyardChef Thank YOU Rik. Now I have to make them. I don't like pancakes or biscuits because I can taste the baking powder. This requires very little and they seem lighter. I have never even heard of these. You are Welsh, but have you ever eaten Scottish oat cakes? They are delicious.
Hiya. Sorry about the blip. They look beautiful either way. Nice with golden syrup or maple syrup. I was editing the message but pressed delete instead. DOH! x
British Isles cooking never get my attention cz it's boring.. but I was wrong , I changed my mind after watching this video. Thank yoo Chef! I've sub'd...😊
Happy to hear that! There are many dishes that have been taken by travelers influencing dishes around the world. Just have to dig in past the more common ones. Best, Rik
@BackyardChef yes, this reminds me of chicken chop , Chinese style with orange sauce , some peas & fries..which was once popular in msia.. perhaps it originated from Britain..🤔🤔🤔 ?
@BackyardChef perhaps it is a Chinese dish with some British influence , with boiled peas, thick fries.. I heard it was introduced during the British occupation.. It was very popular! Nowadays, it is hard to find ..☺️😋
So confused with Baking Powder and Baking Soda, In Australia 🇦🇺 I have no problem obtaining Baking Powder but never see baking soda, is it called something else here? Anyone know?👍🇦🇺
You ain't eating them right. Put them on a plate with some sausages, top with a fried egg cooked sunny side up or over easy, pour lots of maple or imitation maple syrup on top or even a thin warmed fruit jam or warm honey. You need a sweet sauce. They are for breakfast. I got Welsh ancestry and I can make them either way. I also think your yeast was a bit weak and not active enough Should be nice and frothy and the batter should have been bubbly. Not as frothy as for crumpets, but definitely more than I saw on camera. I make yeast batter the night before and let it set at room temperature. Or I proof it in an oven or in my multi-cooker which has a bread proofing setting. 30 to 45 minutes if I forgot to make the night before. Lots of syrup either fruit based or maple type. I have also just made it with a knob of butter and a tiny bit of water and brown sugar. That actually is very tasty. Some folks, especially on the east coast like molasses either sugar cane or sorghum molasses on pancakes. Me, sugar cane molasses is too strong, but sorghum molasses is great. Live in the west now and cannot get it. American pancakes are Welsh pancakes you silly man. We brought them over with us and they became popular and got modernized along the way. I learnt to make yeast pancakes from a woman who learnt from old folks just north from where I live now. They were old when I was a teenager. She wrote a cookbook and I ordered it. She was on radio stations promoting it. Now she taught the old ways of doing things as well as modern versions and farm to table. Carla Emery was her name. You want the old version like 1980 if you can get one. eBay has them sometimes. You can get an online version, but I think it's the modern version after her lawyers made her rewrite a lot of it. Government regulations and all.
I hate American pancakes. I’ve had to make them for 30 years for my husband and six kids. They’re all grown now and we’ve just celebrated our 30th anniversary in January. Now I make them pancakes when they come to visit with the grandkids. I will make both of these when they come over again.
Yes I bet you have a lot of experience with pancakes. You may be able to help me - I would like to make Rin-Tum-Ditty however there seems to be different versions. Any ideas would be appreciated. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I’ve never heard of it. Maybe it’s a Northern UK thing. I’m from Dorset. I went through my books, didn’t find anything by name. I found this video on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/6qkmca5pXAM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WzshLQpP5NDCUdcA Skip to the 3:34 counter and pause. It sounds like a variation of Welsh rarebit, which I make all the time but I usually forget the Worcestershire sauce! 🙃
Hey there my friend! We're having these 'old skool' style ones for breakfast in the morning courtesy of Evie😊She made your Clapshot with snarlers last Monday and we absolutely LOVED it!

Always known as Scotch pancakes to us! Nice just buttered!
They are! Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Or drop scones - my grandma used to make them every Sunday afternoon for tea - we'd have them with butter and jam.
Traditional for sure!!!!!! The fluffier the better!!! YUM!!
For sure! Using Yeast. Best, Rik

American foods from colonial times were all brought from the people who settled this land. Some were modified for using supplies that were available. But all our food came with us from wherever. Fried chicken, a southern staple, came from Scotland. The African people added spices to it. Along with foods and ways of cooking from their homeland. American cooking is from all countries. The differences arose mostly from just using ingredients available. Pancakes almost all people have their own version. But anything thats called pancake has to be good.
All very true. Best, Rik
Just need to get recipes that turn out looking and tasting like these for us who are allergic to gluten and lactose, { can buttermilk be made from lactose free milk?} Many thanks and much love for your channel.
Yes, buttermilk can be made from lactose-free milk, using a method similar to traditional buttermilk preparation. The process involves adding an acid to the milk, such as lemon juice or vinegar, or using a buttermilk culture. This acidification mimics the natural souring process of traditional buttermilk, leading to a product that has the tangy flavour and thicker consistency of buttermilk, without the lactose. This makes it suitable for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer lactose-free products. However, the taste and texture may vary slightly from traditional buttermilk made from lactose-containing milk. Best, Rik
Never been a fan of American pancakes, like a lot of what they cook, they contain way too much sugar! But will definitely give the traditional Welsh pancakes a try 👌
Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
Lovely! Are you going to make us some Staffordshire oatcakes next? They're basically another yeasted pancake made with oats and absolutely delicious
This is what I love about you and the folks on this channel you are all contributing, I love it. I have already scheduled. So that will be a yes. Thank you. Best, Rik
Both batters and cooked pancakes looked great Rik they look similar to our local pikelets that can be made plain or with dried fruit I make them often delicious eaten warm slathered in butter lol 🥞😋Amanda xx
Thanks for watching as always. I love pikelets. Thank you. Best, Rik

Some good names there, Paul. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I was going to add, "and the liver of Richard Burton."
I think you definitely should get Rob and Ryan to learn a few of these recipes for #WelcomeToWrexham . I learn some amazing recipes. Just think of His Majesty King Charles coming by for an afternoon snack of Rarebit and Anglesey eggs. You are doing a great service to educate and preserve cultural recipes for foodies around the globe. Fare play to you. 😊😊🎉🎉 Leeks and cabbage for breakfast? I am already incorporating Swede (turnip) in me breakfast because of you.
Wow! Thank you, Best, Rik
American here. But my 2 cents: usually before you turn these over to the other side, you wait until the raw side is no longer runny. That is how you know the underside is nicely browned.
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thank YOU Rik. Now I have to make them. I don't like pancakes or biscuits because I can taste the baking powder. This requires very little and they seem lighter. I have never even heard of these. You are Welsh, but have you ever eaten Scottish oat cakes? They are delicious.
Hiya. Sorry about the blip. They look beautiful either way. Nice with golden syrup or maple syrup. I was editing the message but pressed delete instead. DOH! x
All good. Thank you. Hope all is good your end. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Aye. Everything's fine. I hope you and your better half are well too.
Thank you. Best, Rik@@lizhannah8412
British Isles cooking never get my attention cz it's boring.. but I was wrong , I changed my mind after watching this video. Thank yoo Chef! I've sub'd...😊
Happy to hear that! There are many dishes that have been taken by travelers influencing dishes around the world. Just have to dig in past the more common ones. Best, Rik
@BackyardChef yes, this reminds me of chicken chop , Chinese style with orange sauce , some peas & fries..which was once popular in msia.. perhaps it originated from Britain..🤔🤔🤔 ?
I wouldn't know if it did - however, people travel and introduce recipes worldwide. I thought chicken chop was Chinese, Rik@@taradeviwest9351
@BackyardChef perhaps it is a Chinese dish with some British influence , with boiled peas, thick fries.. I heard it was introduced during the British occupation.. It was very popular! Nowadays, it is hard to find ..☺️😋
Baby bottle temp for the milk activates the yeast…
Yes indeed! Best, Rik
Granny made her Welsh cakes with sultanas
Yes. Best, Rik

Thank you. Best, Rik
I would come to yours for breakfast whichever one you make, I will bring New York State maple syrup. That is if we weren’t separated by an Ocean.
Sounds, fantastic, Best, Rik
So confused with Baking Powder and Baking Soda, In Australia 🇦🇺 I have no problem obtaining Baking Powder but never see baking soda, is it called something else here? Anyone know?👍🇦🇺
McCormick's of Australia make a good baking soda I use it daily to soak my vegetables and to cook with. Thank you. Best, Rik
Can I have a stack of six plz, with lashings of maple syrup and a heap of fried bacon rashers yum yum 👍
Oh Yes! Thank you. Best, Rik
Not being fond of our American pancakes I’m hoping the traditional version here will be tops. 😊
Yeast pancakes are delicious. Best, Rik
You ain't eating them right. Put them on a plate with some sausages, top with a fried egg cooked sunny side up or over easy, pour lots of maple or imitation maple syrup on top or even a thin warmed fruit jam or warm honey. You need a sweet sauce. They are for breakfast. I got Welsh ancestry and I can make them either way. I also think your yeast was a bit weak and not active enough Should be nice and frothy and the batter should have been bubbly. Not as frothy as for crumpets, but definitely more than I saw on camera. I make yeast batter the night before and let it set at room temperature. Or I proof it in an oven or in my multi-cooker which has a bread proofing setting. 30 to 45 minutes if I forgot to make the night before. Lots of syrup either fruit based or maple type. I have also just made it with a knob of butter and a tiny bit of water and brown sugar. That actually is very tasty. Some folks, especially on the east coast like molasses either sugar cane or sorghum molasses on pancakes. Me, sugar cane molasses is too strong, but sorghum molasses is great. Live in the west now and cannot get it. American pancakes are Welsh pancakes you silly man. We brought them over with us and they became popular and got modernized along the way. I learnt to make yeast pancakes from a woman who learnt from old folks just north from where I live now. They were old when I was a teenager. She wrote a cookbook and I ordered it. She was on radio stations promoting it. Now she taught the old ways of doing things as well as modern versions and farm to table. Carla Emery was her name. You want the old version like 1980 if you can get one. eBay has them sometimes. You can get an online version, but I think it's the modern version after her lawyers made her rewrite a lot of it. Government regulations and all.
Thanks for sharing. I agreeeeeeeeeeee sausage and egg. Best, Rik
I usually use lemon juice in the milk t make buttermilk ???? Is that not butter milk😮
Yes, as long as it sours it. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef thanks wondered if I'd made it up 😱🤣
I cannot tolerate buttermilk. Mistake people make with modern pancakes is overbeating.
Yawn!!!! Don't use it
I hate American pancakes. I’ve had to make them for 30 years for my husband and six kids. They’re all grown now and we’ve just celebrated our 30th anniversary in January. Now I make them pancakes when they come to visit with the grandkids.
I will make both of these when they come over again.
Yes I bet you have a lot of experience with pancakes. You may be able to help me - I would like to make Rin-Tum-Ditty however there seems to be different versions. Any ideas would be appreciated. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I’ll check my stash of very old English cookbooks.
@@BackyardChef I’ve never heard of it. Maybe it’s a Northern UK thing. I’m from Dorset. I went through my books, didn’t find anything by name. I found this video on TH-cam.

Skip to the 3:34 counter and pause.
It sounds like a variation of Welsh rarebit, which I make all the time but I usually forget the Worcestershire sauce! 🙃
Thank you. Best, Rik@@LilyoftheValeyrising
