Before you watch the video, which one do you think will win?! If you want to see more cheap vs steep videos, I have a whole playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLfItiEY3o1mum1ngUXhQ5b3rmTZu_ZHXC.html
I love you do the blind folds now. I feel like when you know you may want to pick one over the other subconsciously. The blind folds is a great way to do it to see what you really like without knowing which is which!
What I would suggest during the taste test is to clense your pallet between the two options. This way you approach both from a fresh taste. The sugar and such from the first one might have slightly skewed your perceptions a bit.
Also Mrs. B had a pretty large piece of the cheap before trying the steep. A piece the quarter of that size would have been better. I expected the steep chocolate to taste better. But maybe because the chocolate was such a thin layer and there was such an overload of sugar in the bar, it didn’t come through. I can tell the difference between really good chocolate and cheap chocolate. Even with milk chocolate - I’ve ended up buying only one brand of milk chocolate chips because all the rest taste too sweet and less deeply chocolate.
Thanks! I remember when I spent some time over the pond, there were some friends I made who just asked me to talk all the time as they liked hearing how I said things like 'water bottle' lol
just made it a few days ago, I would not say it is close, the shortbread tastes very different to biscuit in Twix. But have to admin, it's been a while since I've had one.
As someone who is deaf and lip reads, you definitely have an accent (I can vaguely remember what you sound like before I lost my hearing) but you have an accent easier to lip read compared to many West Country accents! But I’m very grateful for the subtitles all the same
You have an accent, I can assure you. I use to live in Bristol with my then husband and, as a Londoner, everyone used to tell me that they loved my accent and swore blind that they didn't have one. I have cousins who grew up in Weston-Super-Mare and they speak just like you. It's endearing and nostalgic for me to hear.
If you don’t like mixing butter and flour by hand just throw it in the food processor. Just make sure the butter is cold, I freeze it, so the friction doesn’t melt it.
I see a lot of steep ingredients were organic- but not all. It would be an interesting series of organic vs non organic, especially with baked goods. I find using organic butter, eggs and sugars and milk gives things a better flavor( not so processed or over sugary taste). Really enjoyed this video, didn’t realize how easy shortbread was to make! Thanks
The best millionaires shortbread slice was the one given in school lunches served with pink custard. Likely made with the cheapest of cheap ingredients. I can still remember the taste 40 years later. Best 17p ever spent (or 2p if the custard completely covered the slice making it look like you only had custard to the cashier)
"Do we have an accent?" Accents are things that other people have. To me, you have a very distinctive accent, which is one of several particular British accents. To you, my "neutral" pronunciation would seem like one of several particular American accents.
Just a tip, for most recipes that call for you to incorporate the butter into the flour like that you can use a food processor to incorporate it instead.
Nice t-shirt. If your coming to Barbados bring some millionaire shortbread with you. A bar of 100g Cadbury milk chocolate is around £5. Butter is £4 for 8oz etc
Hi Barry love the cheap vs steep series, I would like to see something like a Sunday roast, thinking roast beef and all the trimmings. Keep up the great content
Yay, another cheap vs steep! I was wondering when you'd make another one and here it is! I also love millionaire's shortbread, yummy. Nice work Mr & Mrs B ❤❤🎉🎉
For that "meeh" working butter into the flour step, I remember my grandma would just use a table knife and work/cut the butter into the flour that way. A bit slower compared to that kitchen gadget you have, but worked pretty well and kept hands from getting all buttery.
Ha!! I JUST made a batch. I used my go-to recipe which is definitely cheap. I buy off label condensed milk which is a third of the cost of Eagle Brand (Canada). I make them often and they’re always a massive crowd pleaser. Going to a dinner and game night at a friend’s tonight and added white chocolate blobs on the chocolate, dragged a toothpick through them and voila! Valentine’s hearts!
I love the cheap vs steep videos. I would love to see you guys make your perfect recipe, using the products that you think make the difference and see if you were right!
I really love this series! It shows that if you shop sensible you can make something with cheaper ingredients that is just as good as something expensive. Beat the cost of living crisis by being sensible with shopping
You know what is sad.. your steep prices are my regular prices in Canada (British Columbia) our prices just keep going up! It isn’t right!.. I would like either of those bars! Love watching the two of you! 😃 and your kids are great too!
My life's work has been to find the best millionaire shortbread 😂. My friends and I made some at school years ago and got in trouble for eating it all at break time. I'm just chasing that memory, the ratios were perfect. I've come close but my search continues.
Ethan Chlebowski's video about testing tinned tomatoes also mentioned Calcium Chloride ('a firming agent common in tinned vegetables'), and his conclusion was it did have an adverse affect on the blind taste test.
Whum poun... free poun.... Cho- kluht.. yeah I fink it's an accent .... as a total outsider it's lovely to listen to ❤ but I haven't the knowledge to say it's this one or that one. I love all accents ❤
Barry if you are doing blind try you should use 3 pieces to compare. 2 steep and one cheap or the other way. Then ask if someone can spot the difference.
About the Butter and where it's made. If you look at the packaging there is a code on it that refers to the factory it was made in. I found this out on a programme on channel 4, by the Food Unwrapped team called Supermarkets Unwrapped. They showed us these codes on the programme, when they compared Aldi's Cart Wheels and Wagon Wheels, both made by Burton's Biscuits. This code is supposedly on all packaging.
Thank you for doing these recipes! Im on a tight restricted budget for the autumn and I still want to eat treats when I'm working, will definitely be trying these out x
Really enjoy the cheap versus steep series, loving your work as always! Probably just biased by the name but I really thought steep would be the runaway winner.. maybe because i just assume luxury and indulgence with this and that rings steep alarm bells to me (rightly or wrongly, don't know). Definitely one to try for myself I think!
Hey Barry, not sure if you clarify later or if someone beat me to it but table salt is sodium chloride, calcium chloride isnthe calcium version. I believe it is commonly used in fruit and veg applications as a preservative, like keeping pickles from softening (see Pickle Crisp) or as an anti-browning agent in fruit (presumably stuff like tinned pears and such).
Lots of things come in what seems like strange package sizes because lots of homemaking ingredients are still being sold in imperial sizes but they are required to mark them in metric
Love he videos How about same shop basic and premium ranges? Think you need to do a cheap and steap cupboard and do some recipes from the store cupboard
I suspect the muscovado sugar would have made a difference..I find its a bit more earthy in flavour. Im insanely curious as to what this would take like with miso paste, like the miso chocolate brownie. Fabulous brownie, oddly taste even better when refrigerated.
Could you please taste-test the single components as you go? I'd love to see your reaction to the difference between edible ingredients, and how that influences what you think will taste best?
In the U.S., that’s what brown sugar is - granulated sugar with molasses mixed in. When I first heard that on Adam Ragusea’s channel, I didn’t believe it but checked the brown sugar, different brands, different stores and that’s what they were. I think you can get brown sugar that’s the leftovers from producing granulated sugar but it’s called something else.
UM, no. That's not actually true. Cheap "brown sugar" isn't actually brown sugar, but in the US they can call it that for some strange reason. Look at C&H and specifically a dark brown sugar and you should be able to find it in the store. The ingredients will say: Brown Sugar and not Sugar, Molasses. I was jsut curious if they can actually call brown sugar that if it has molasses in it in England. England has some substantial differences in product labelling standards than the US does. @@TamarLitvot
Well it depends on quality of the ingredients and if more higher quality ingredients it will change but if you are going juged it moste probably on the taste
I’d love to see this series do a meatloaf, or sausage roll. Or you haven’t done any with seafood as the main ingredient, so maybe a lobster bisque or something?
made a version a few days ago :) Where is the salt? IMO I need a bit salt in the shortbread or some sea salt flakes on top the chocolate ^^ I paid 1,19 for the chocolate (200g, used 100g-ish) and 1 for the sweetend condenced milk, 1,6 for the butter and sugar is about 1 Euro for a whole Kilo. Below 4 Euro overall. I used dark chocolate, no brand. Last year butter that bar of butter would habe been double or more, though.
The sugar was probably the big difference. The muscavado sugar will have more molasses in it, because of the way it's refined, and that will have given both the depth of colour and flavour. Ignoring the other ingredients, it's why I'd have chosen that bake 👍
Fair point. The muscovado, although also light brown, was darker than the cheap light brown soft sugar. I’d say the difference could also be in the butter, as the steep 3:02 was unsalted, whereas the cheap 2:45 was salted. And the steep didn’t get an addition of salt to equalize balance. Therefore I can imagine the cheap being more flavorful, as the salt would have enhanced that. Surely I am not the only one noticing this?
I remember when I was a kid that the biscuit base was made from a kind of buttery Digestive biscuit, not the crumbly shortbread base that is used nowadays. It's still good, but not as good as the Digestive base. It was just perfect with the caramel and chocolate.
The sweetness generally overwhelms , so we would pick up the small differences . Premium products have a number of factors behind the price such as the additives , source, production method, etc. For the most part the general person wouldn't notice unless aware of the difference from the start . Most people are also used to the cheaper more accessible products , so tend to favour them . At the end of the day , it just comes down to what you budget and conscience allow/prefer.
Im from a few miles down the road from you, a few towns over, I dont have an accent either and I was born in Bridgwater the town where I live and where you've done giant videos before
Why would you use salted butter in one and unsalted butter in the other? That will dramatically change the flavour of it. I'm pretty sure it should be unsalted butter.
Both Millionaire Shortbreads looked lovely, I'd eat either. I don't notice an accent except for the odd word but nothing wrong with a West Country accent, much better than mine😅. Love a Barry/Mrs B recipe.
Try all organic and watch the cost soar but oh my goodness what a difference. Organic sugar and flour is usually very easily available. Organic chocolate bars cost loads but are lovely taste.On a separate note, the best millionaire shortbread in the world is from Fortnum and Mason. Oh my days it's gorgeous. Splash the cash and take your granny, she's worth it.
Chocolate prices differ a great deal but the taste is also insanely different. Cheap chocolate is mostly just sugar with barely any cocoa powder or butter. As a Belgian, I can easily tell the difference between cheap & more expensive chocolate to the point where I never eat cheap chocolate anymore.
Considering I am from Arkansas in the United States (Mid-South)... yes, yes you do have an accent. LOL! In my defense, I do not have a very thick southern accent - unless i'm sleepy or had too much to drink haha!
Before you watch the video, which one do you think will win?!

Steep x
I love you do the blind folds now. I feel like when you know you may want to pick one over the other subconsciously. The blind folds is a great way to do it to see what you really like without knowing which is which!
Cheap
the irony that 1.69 flour is steep cracks me up... our cheap for 1 kilo is $1-2 at walmart and steep can go as high as $20!! at wholefoods
I remember you made a giant millionaire's shortbread before as a surprise for Mrs Barry. 😊 she must really love that dessert..😂
haha yep!
What I would suggest during the taste test is to clense your pallet between the two options. This way you approach both from a fresh taste. The sugar and such from the first one might have slightly skewed your perceptions a bit.
I was thinking of that, maybe drinking a sip of water between the two.
Also Mrs. B had a pretty large piece of the cheap before trying the steep. A piece the quarter of that size would have been better.
I expected the steep chocolate to taste better. But maybe because the chocolate was such a thin layer and there was such an overload of sugar in the bar, it didn’t come through. I can tell the difference between really good chocolate and cheap chocolate.

From across the pond here, your accent is lovely....music to my ears.

"Do you think we have accents?"
*says I don't in the most west country way possible* 2:40
Reminds me of a Twix candy bar! They’re shortbread with caramel and chocolate dipped, who knew that Twix were mini millionaires shortbread all along
just made it a few days ago, I would not say it is close, the shortbread tastes very different to biscuit in Twix. But have to admin, it's been a while since I've had one.
Nah, theyre quite different. I dont like Twix but millionaires shortbread is in my top 5
I do like Twix but I'm not a big fan of millionaires shortbread haha
As someone who is deaf and lip reads, you definitely have an accent (I can vaguely remember what you sound like before I lost my hearing) but you have an accent easier to lip read compared to many West Country accents! But I’m very grateful for the subtitles all the same

O_O i never knew lip readers could read accents! that's awesome!

Are you blind too? There’s subtitles option so you can read what he’s saying, cut some of the hassle out for yourself

Good eggs from pasture-raised chickens really do taste better than factory eggs. I rarely can get local farm eggs but when I do, they are wonderful!
I notice the taste difference with cream cheese more than other ingredients and was surprised at the difference.
That idea gets my Seal (by ah yaaa) of approval
So glad to see Cheap vs Steep having a comeback! :) Such a great episode too! :)
Millionaire shorts is the best full stop. Nice work mate
But is it millionaire or millionaire's we weren't really sure, I guess one is for the plural?!

Gotta love that you’re doing the comparison and outro and all that while Mrs. B gets rid of all the leftovers. (That’s what I would be doing too!)
Love a Cheap vs Steep with Mrs B! 🥰
Hi Barry love the cheap vs steep series, I would like to see something like a Sunday roast, thinking roast beef and all the trimmings. Keep up the great content
Oh Mrs B..... You have a VERY strong Westcountry accent! More than Barry for sure.
Great video! Try melting the chocolate in the microwave is much easier and you don’t add moist to the chocolate.
Love cheap vs steep
Love how Mrs B`s accent come out when she says `i can`t believe that`.
Yay, another cheap vs steep! I was wondering when you'd make another one and here it is! I also love millionaire's shortbread, yummy. Nice work Mr & Mrs B ❤❤🎉🎉
Millionaires shortbread is so good, one of the best treats ever and I love me a good cheap vs steep video!
So glad you did the blind folds again! Love that! 😁👍
For that "meeh" working butter into the flour step, I remember my grandma would just use a table knife and work/cut the butter into the flour that way. A bit slower compared to that kitchen gadget you have, but worked pretty well and kept hands from getting all buttery.

the butter and chocolate are where it pays to splurge. maybe pastured eggs, if texture and lift are important

Barry when I make shortbread I sometimes use a handheld electric mixer to not dirty my hands, you could try that next time.
im with you barry i hate rubbing butter and flour together
i made a millionaires shortbread for thanksgiving once and it was a smash hit! One of my favorite deserts ever.
Hey Barry, not sure if you clarify later or if someone beat me to it but table salt is sodium chloride, calcium chloride isnthe calcium version.

Perfect timing. I was looking for a shortbread recipe when this popped up
Becky is the real winner. She gets twice as much millionaires shortbread.❤
There's only one way to make condensed milk. There's a good chance the two even came from the same factory.
In Australia we just call that a "caramel slice". We're fancy over here, haha.
I was going to say the same thing lol, I'm in New Zealand and we call it caramel slice as well.
Could you please taste-test the single components as you go? I'd love to see your reaction to the difference between edible ingredients, and how that influences what you think will taste best?

I think both of the butters should have been salted or unsalted as that can make a difference to the taste
I was thinking as i was watching may be an idea to do blindfolds and you went and did it. makes it more fair as you have no bias
Well it depends on quality of the ingredients and if more higher quality ingredients it will change but if you are going juged it moste probably on the taste
I’d love to see this series do a meatloaf, or sausage roll. Or you haven’t done any with seafood as the main ingredient, so maybe a lobster bisque or something?
Omg can you do steak and chips with peppercorn sauce
Condensed milk cans were always 14oz in old money so that's 397g today hence the exact number
I honestly thought the steep would win hands down due to the higher chocolate content they both look super delicious
Barry, I'm from Manchester and when you say 'HAFF' instead of 'HALF' it breaks my brain 🤣
Great result. Have you tried a A B A blind test, so give one of them again and see if they can pick out the different one?
made a version a few days ago :)
Where is the salt? IMO I need a bit salt in the shortbread or some sea salt flakes on top the chocolate ^^

In South Africa, there are different makes of condensed Milk. The cheaper ones don't work well.
Are the cheap ones still milk? We’ve got condensed milk on board and its milk powder, palmfat/oil and chemicals.

How do you not know that Mrs. Barry loves millionaire's shortbread? I know (from your videos) that Mrs. B. loves millionaire's shortbread.
Caster sugar costs about double that of the equivalent granulated. Just buy the latter and blitz it for a few seconds.
Is the condensed milk sweetend or unsweetened?
Chocolate prices differ a great deal but the taste is also insanely different. Cheap chocolate is mostly just sugar with barely any cocoa powder or butter. As a Belgian, I can easily tell the difference between cheap & more expensive chocolate to the point where I never eat cheap chocolate anymore.
