The close up shots of that slimy bacon getting cut by scissors and then being put into a blender gave me horror movie vibes. It also had the same colour as kays fingers.
@@hawawah8671 Came here to say this. She'd be on the emergency radio all like, "Hello, pee-pul, I'm here serving unseasoned boiled zombie meat with cabbage."
To Kay's credit, it DOES say blender when we here in the US might refer to a hand mixer in that same context. I heard "blend" and my first thought was "You're going to toss that in a blender?" If the recipe said to "beat or mix until fluffy" it might have alleviated some confusion.
Never in my life have I mixed cake mix in a blender. It is always done with a hand mixer, which has been used by bakers for about a hundred years. This kind of confusion will never arise for example in Japan as they are very detail oriented and focused.
Really? Not sure which part of the UK you're from, but a pancake is a basic batter mix that is sweet or savoury according to what you top it with. We also like them a bit thicker than a paper thin, transparent crepe!
I might put sugar on a pancake with lemon but I don't see the need to put sugar in the batter mix to begin with. Then again the American pancake isn't the same as in the UK which is thicker than a crepe but not a Scotch pancake 🙃
@@R.P.-hw2rqand she has some people trying to tell her how to do things better. Shes sweet and has a kind community. They do troll and wanna see funny fails but they also want her to get better so thats cool
In Kays defense... the recipe does literally say to blend the bacon and everything else for 2 minutes using an electric blender. Maybe they meant a mixer but they did specifically say "blender".
I'm Swedish and don't use sugar in my pancakes, don't see the need since I get sweetness from toppings like jam, strawberries and ice cream. When I make this dish (fläskpannkaka) I chop the bacon and put it on a baking tray, letting it cook in the oven while whisking the batter that I later pour over the bacon. The bacon have more crispy areas if you chop it before cooking and I don't have to clean a frying pan this way.
Every time Kay says 'Hi everyone, I'm back cooking again' I get the same vibes as someone saying 'Hi everyone, I'm back on my bullshit again.' Love Kay, never change.
As a Swedish person it makes me sad. We fry bacon in tiny bits then put it in the pancake batter. When it's done we have lingonberry jam with it. It's amazing when it's done right
We have to same thing in Finland but we don't use bacon and eat it with strawberry jam and whipped cream, but bacon and lingonberry sounds interesting.
Absolutely. Bacon gets delicious when you fry it. What she has is basically a piece of cooked ham. Which is okay, you can fry that as well. I have to try bacon pancakes, the idea sounds great. I probably add some cheese as well.
Yall please check how you write your recipes because they meant an electric beater and a bowl not a blender and i fully understand why she made this mistake but i am still horrified by it.

Hey August I wanted to attempt to answer the floppy bacon question. So first off I believe she is using back bacon not belly bacon(they act very differently.) Back bacon almost never goes crispy and if it does its dry as heck thanks to a much lower fat content. Belly bacon goes crispy because of the rendering out of all the fat. But the completely nasty look of hers is because it was frozen and she cooked it while attempting a defrost. So in essence you're seeing microwave sous vide back bacon not a pleasant concept I promise! It can be saved but not after the blending! It's all lost from there! Keep it up Mr duck love your content!
I think you’ve got the right of it. I’m betting that the recipe was written in the US, where pretty much all bacon is what the British call streaky bacon (I think, I could be wrong, but I’ve watched enough British cooking to notice what I assume is a difference.) and as such, I think Kay’s using the exact wrong bacon for this application.
@@spacemangroove I would say that sounds exactly right🤣🤣 if she'd used streaky bacon and gotten it crisp the little bits would be lovely but like this oh no!!

( Question at 3:11 )Brit here!! :) Our bacon is floppy because it's from a different cut. It is back bacon, so it's more meat than fat; whereas American bacon is known as "streaky bacon" (at least here). The fat runs through the middle so it gets crispy and holds shape better. It tastes a bit more like Gammon or Ham instead of the bacon you are used to :)

@@sylverscale it is the same. The thing that sits on the top of the base, can be considered a bowl. Yall are reaching. She followed the recipe to a T.
To me, she's like my mom. Because her cooking reminds me of my mom's a lot. As in, both aren't good cooks, but if you grow up on it, you'll grow to like at least a good amount of the stuff. How my world opened up once I made my own steak the first time, the first not overcooked steak of my life... (not being sarcastic here even; though my mom can make a few German dishes really well too)
It says WITH an electric blender. Whoever wrote the recipe definitely meant mixer and screwed up, you can even see in the picture from the recipe page that there are pieces of unblended bacon in the pancake, because it was all mixed/whipped together and not blended with blades. I can absolutely see how Kay interpreted it the way she did so she’s fine but the recipe writer definitely didn’t use the word they meant to lol
@babayaga3098 she didn't "interpret it that way" that's what the recipe stated. Just because you can see bacon in the pancakes, does not take away what is written in the recipe. She's not at fault in any way, shape, or form. Not by interpretation, or misunderstanding, she followed the receipt exactly.
The recipe actually says: "In a bowl, blend bacon and grease, eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt until eggs are fluffy, about two minutes with an electric blender." A "blender" is not a "mixer" but the words themselves are synonymous. Anyway, just by looking at the picture on the recipe, you can see unblended bacon bits/pieces.
@@babayaga3098 I've heard that many recepieces that are written, are done so by people that can't even cook/bake. My parents once read a recepie that had tabasco sauce in it and it said that they should put 1 DECILITER of it in the mix. TABASCO SAUCE, something you probably just have maybe a teaspoon of. So them writing electric BLENDER insted of electric MIXER I'm not suprised about.
Australian here (things here food wise are similar to Britain), right so most pancakes dont have sugar IN the recipe. We always add very sweet toppings tho like jam and cream, syrup, lemon juice and sugar etc Tho i believe a lot of the modern pancake recipes ask for caster sugar. Mates have said that bread over in America tastes like cake. We just have a much lower tolerance for sweet
5:19 Ok, so what she's pouring in there is mostly water that leaked out of the bacon while she was microwaving it because Kay bought nasty cheap wet cure bacon that's full of water. Normally that water leaks out into the pan and boils off, but in the microwave it seems to have just seeped out onto the plate. Anyway, I'm willing to bet that additional water completely messed up the consistency of her batter and meant it didn't trap enough air.
English bacon also doesn't really crisp though so😂 more meat than fat unlike US bacon so it doesn't get that nice crispness. She did still barley cook it though😂
This opens the door to the possibility of Kay's museum where we store all the artefact she's created over the years for future generations to gaze upon, I do not doubt that her cooking could raise the dead.
To be fair "in a bowl, blend bacon and grease, eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt until eggs are fluffy, about two minutes with an electric blender" To answer the bacon question, ours is a different cut, it's back bacon so more meat and less fat. However it looks like *that* because it's been microwaved
Anyone else remember that day in class where you were tasked with giving instructions to an alien on how to make a PB&J sandwhich? I'd say the bulk of the responsibility of how the dish turned out was on the fault of the recipe.
for your question august I think ours is cut thicker than yours and for some reasons a lot of people only cook it until it's barley edible and the fats still white so it's floppy and a bit gross, personally I like it nice and browned because I don't want a live pig for breakfast
No, we have thick cut bacon too. Ours is just a better cut of pork. The other reminds me more of sandwich ham and they are *very* different experiences 😩
Our bacon is made using the pork loin, american bacon is made from the pork belly, it's more like what is called in America "Canadian Bacon", also we often dust the pancake with sugar afterwards, but adding sugar was an addition after it was popularised in America as a breakfast item.
American here. We sometimes get the 'floppy' bacon too. It depends on the brand and type. We have several types you can buy, even Canadian bacon which is like a thicker cut of ham. As long as the meat is good, I do not mind if it is crispy or more floppy like ham.
@kaylastarr7863 the recipe says "in a bowl, blend" blend means to mix, not use a blender. It was a word before the invention and has uses outside if cooking. It also says with not in the electric mixer.
What always stands out to me about Kay is how much she really seems to have the actual process of cooking. Like, she's scared of knives, she hates touching the ingredients, she seems to preemptively dislike a good amount of the things she cooks... She clearly doesn't research any of the recipes and cooks half of them without knowing what they even are. Hell, she keeps forgetting the recipe names. I mean, she even claims that nearly anything that requires any bit of exertion (chopping things, crushing garlic, etc) physically hurts her. She doesn't use any of the suggestions her audience sends her, keeps doing things "her way" and then is surprised when they turn out bad. She doesn't even look happy in the intros most of the time. ... So WHY does she even have a cooking show? It baffles me.
I like to think I'm a somewhat competent cook, but I would read that and break out the liquidator - bend means decimate and as you quite rightly say mix (or whisk) are separate for a reason. If it wanted the bacon in pieces the recipe would add it after the blending. Mind you I'd not trust a recipe that tells you to microwave bacon.
To answer your question about the bacon being floppy I think it might be 'Canadian bacon' which is sorta like ham because it comes from a different part of the pig, normal bacon comes from the belly while canadian bacon comes from the back so it's cut in circles rather than strips. or she's just getting weird cuts of bacon.
Yes it’s usually back bacon in the uk. In the US the standard is streaky bacon from the belly, which is less common here. It’s still readily available but mainly used to wrap meats such as chicken and turkey (or for pigs in blankets).
Whether you like your pancakes sweet or savoury, both salt and sugar are required. I once made the fatal mistake of skipping that pinch of salt when making pancakes.
I'm from Sweden and I think she is making "ugnspannkaka" or swedish oven pancake. But blending bacon is not something we would do. It does contain bacon/ham bits but they are diced, not blended.
@@serenity8839 I saw someone do a reconstruction of a Neolithic lental patty thing based on the petrified remains of one found at an archeological site - it definately seemed better than this thing!
I’m Canadian and we have “canadian bacon” (we usually call it back bacon or pemeal) and British bacon is basically the fusion baby of Canadian and American bacon. American is the belly and fattier it’s also hot smoked, British is from the loin and usually cold smoked or not smoked at all although they’re both cured from my understanding. The different part of the animal, the different cut (british is usually thicker), the leanness, the different curing method could all lead to that floppiness.
In England we typically eat pancakes (much thinner than US pancakes) rolled up with sugar and lemon on top. They are much closer to crepes. Typically pancakes are sweet.
Northern Irish lassie here, out bacon is “floppy” as most pan fry. My dad puts it in the grill and it’s lovely an crispy but all in all it goes down to your preference
I’m not from the UK but from what I have seen they have two types of bacon. They have rashers and streaky bacon. The streaky bacon looks like North American bacon.
@@TheGhostFart I know, I have one, although, mixing it makes way more since, as I really don't understand why you'd want to have a bacon flavored pancake, instead of a pancake with bacon pieces in it.
I'm Swedish and I didn't actually know this pancake is Swedish, anyway this was a horror to watch. This is actually so easy to make, I love it with bacon but it's great sweet too. I have never eaten the bacon version with sugar, it's great with lingonberry jam though. You're not supposed to mix the bacon in it but cook it separately and put it in last.
I think the bacon here in the UK is different to the States because here it's mostly back bacon, so it has less fat marbled through it and is more lean meat. Typically there's only a rind on one outside edge. We do have bacon like America, but it's a separate product here called streaky bacon and it's normally not eaten on its own because it's such a high fat content, it's normally chopped finely and used as an ingredient, or used to wrap dryer meats such as a turkey roast to keep it moist. The best bacon here is bacon medallions which are completely rindless and just rounds of back meat sliced thin. So yeah, less fat, more muscle tissue = softer texture
the reason why british bacon looks like that is because they don't understand good food like Americans do, I mean in the UK they legit eat beans on toast for breakfast and think its good lol
The reading comprehension of both august and kay are both kinda interesting lmao, I think it is a electric blender, but its cooked bacon without the grease. The uncooked bacon probably added a lot of extra oil and water to the mix which messed up the texture.
I'm dutch amd we don't put sugar in pancakes either. The sweet stuff usually goes on the pancake, that or cheese is nice too. Sometimes it can be made with ham, or ham and cheese or bacon, even apples.... Dutch pancakes can get weird.
Crepes are amazingly delicious, super easy to make, and are highly versatile. I’ve made basic crepe batter without sugar and filled them with savory cheese, smoked salmon, and other delicious things - even salad. I’ve also added a bit of sugar and filled them with fruit or pistachio butter. My personal favorite is fruit and coconut jam. I’ve also made a sweet crepe cake by topping many, many crepes with matcha cream and dusting the top with matcha. I’m not a good baker of sweet things, but I can make crepes all day long.
what.. is that? HOW is that an oven pancake? 😭 as a swede i’m appalled edit: actually halfway through the video i understand what went wrong; everything
Yeah, I'm wondering if I should send this to my Swedish friend. He has dual citizenship, and would probably be disgusted, even if he's currently living in the states.
I wonder if that's referring to an electric hand mixer though? Because it does say to blend it in a bowl. I've never heard anyone call one of those a blender though, so I can definitely see that causing confusion.
You aren't the only one. In fact, even the recipe he shows in the video said "blend for 2 minutes in electric blender" so not sure why he was shaming her so hard about it and why he said that no one thinks the word "blend" means blender. TBH, August is the odd one out in this particular case.
@@RealNicole I think by "electric blender," the recipe meant a stand mixer or something. Since it said to blend it in a bowl, which would take "about two minutes with an electric blender."
People around the world are eating savory pancakes. There are a lot of dishes which include savory pancakes. If someone is interested in that you can find a lot of reccepies for savory pancakes online. And pancakes around the world are flat. Only in Amerika they are puffy.
I don’t care what Kay cooks or how she cooks it. I support her. 😂 Also, the recipe said blend, not stir, not mix, not combine. Blend. I’d have been very confused about why it wanted me to use a blender too lmao
To answer your bacon question, American bacon is made of pork belly and has a lot of fat to get crispy, whereas our bacon is from the pig's back and has less fat and gets less crispy. Cheap bacon is also stored in brine so that the water soaks in and it inflates the weight of the bacon, and this water comes out when you cook it. That's why Kay's bacon was so wet and floppy - not too well cooked in the first place, goes less crispy anyway, and it's wet because it's nasty corner shop bacon.
British bacon comes from the loin of the pig whereas American bacon comes from the belly. So British bacon has less fat and a subtle flavor whereas American bacon has more fat and a more smokey flavor.
Back bacon is the most common form in the UK and Ireland, and is the usual meaning of the plain term "bacon". A thin slice of bacon is known as a rasher; about 70% of bacon is sold as rashers.[20] Heavily trimmed back cuts which consist of just the eye of meat, known as a medallion, are also available. All types may be unsmoked or smoked. The side cut normal in America is known as "streaky bacon",[21] and there is also a long cut, curving round on itself, known as "middle bacon", which is back bacon at one end, and streaky at the other, as well as less common cuts.[22] Bacon is also sold and served as joints, usually boiled, broiled or roast,[23] or in thicker slices called chops or steaks. These are usually eaten as part of other meals.[5] Bacon may be cured in several ways, and may be smoked or unsmoked; unsmoked bacon is known as "green bacon".[5] Fried or grilled bacon rashers are included in the "traditional" full breakfast. Hot bacon sandwiches are a popular cafe dish in the UK and Ireland,[24] and are anecdotally recommended as a hangover cure.[25] Bacon is often served with eggs and sausages as part of a full English breakfast.[26]

I can absolutely see how Kay interpreted it the way she did so she’s fine but the recipe writer definitely didn’t use the word they meant to lol
Yeah the mistake is from a badly written direction. How can someone swap blender with a mixer. 🤷♀
@babayaga3098 she didn't "interpret it that way" that's what the recipe stated. Just because you can see bacon in the pancakes, does not take away what is written in the recipe. She's not at fault in any way, shape, or form. Not by interpretation, or misunderstanding, she followed the receipt exactly.
The recipe actually says:
"In a bowl, blend bacon and grease, eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt until eggs are fluffy, about two minutes with an electric blender."
A "blender" is not a "mixer" but the words themselves are synonymous. Anyway, just by looking at the picture on the recipe, you can see unblended bacon bits/pieces.
@@babayaga3098 I've heard that many recepieces that are written, are done so by people that can't even cook/bake. My parents once read a recepie that had tabasco sauce in it and it said that they should put 1 DECILITER of it in the mix. TABASCO SAUCE, something you probably just have maybe a teaspoon of. So them writing electric BLENDER insted of electric MIXER I'm not suprised about.
In my opinion Kay did nothing wrong. If it says blend I am using a god damn blender
Same, sssso same
Right? It says blend, not combine or mix.. but BLEND everything
nah if i see bacon i'm going to see other recipes and youtube to confirm how it's done, total and complete research i do before i commit
But are you going to put it in the blender if the recipe says "in a BOWL, blend together....?" 😂
SAME 😭 like im just trynna eat
Australian here (things here food wise are similar to Britain), right so most pancakes dont have sugar IN the recipe.
We always add very sweet toppings tho like jam and cream, syrup, lemon juice and sugar etc
Tho i believe a lot of the modern pancake recipes ask for caster sugar.
Mates have said that bread over in America tastes like cake. We just have a much lower tolerance for sweet
5:19 Ok, so what she's pouring in there is mostly water that leaked out of the bacon while she was microwaving it because Kay bought nasty cheap wet cure bacon that's full of water. Normally that water leaks out into the pan and boils off, but in the microwave it seems to have just seeped out onto the plate. Anyway, I'm willing to bet that additional water completely messed up the consistency of her batter and meant it didn't trap enough air.
It also said to COOK the bacon until almost crisp-that for freakin sure would have helped. But OH God, this is just…Bless her heart
I mean. I'd say reading is fundamental, but.... Kay completely misunderstood what she read.
English bacon also doesn't really crisp though so😂 more meat than fat unlike US bacon so it doesn't get that nice crispness. She did still barley cook it though😂

Plus, they're British, so the concept of the maillard reaction is entirely foreign to them.

Kay didn't put baked beans in this? A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
Kay accidentally made the Necronomicon.
This opens the door to the possibility of Kay's museum where we store all the artefact she's created over the years for future generations to gaze upon, I do not doubt that her cooking could raise the dead.
To be fair
"in a bowl, blend bacon and grease, eggs, milk, flour, sugar and salt until eggs are fluffy, about two minutes with an electric blender"
To answer the bacon question, ours is a different cut, it's back bacon so more meat and less fat. However it looks like *that* because it's been microwaved
THANK YOU! I am too lazy to type all.of it but Right?!
Anyone else remember that day in class where you were tasked with giving instructions to an alien on how to make a PB&J sandwhich? I'd say the bulk of the responsibility of how the dish turned out was on the fault of the recipe.

for your question august I think ours is cut thicker than yours and for some reasons a lot of people only cook it until it's barley edible and the fats still white so it's floppy and a bit gross, personally I like it nice and browned because I don't want a live pig for breakfast
Nah that's just a completely different cut of bacon compared to the standard strip bacon that americans are familiar with.
No, we have thick cut bacon too. Ours is just a better cut of pork. The other reminds me more of sandwich ham and they are *very* different experiences 😩
Our bacon is made using the pork loin, american bacon is made from the pork belly, it's more like what is called in America "Canadian Bacon", also we often dust the pancake with sugar afterwards, but adding sugar was an addition after it was popularised in America as a breakfast item.
The reason the uk bacon looks more floppy is because it is usually cut from the loin of the pig rather than the belly of the pig
American here. We sometimes get the 'floppy' bacon too. It depends on the brand and type. We have several types you can buy, even Canadian bacon which is like a thicker cut of ham. As long as the meat is good, I do not mind if it is crispy or more floppy like ham.
Kay’s cooking implements and bowls always look like they have been found in a skip
The instructions do say to put it in a blender. Even says it'll take about 2 minutes in an electric blender
Instructions unclear, my bacon got stuck in the blender! 1/5 stars
Yeah I don't think that's fair to say she read it wrong! Why wouldn't it say "mix in bowl" if that's what it meant
@kaylastarr7863 the recipe says "in a bowl, blend" blend means to mix, not use a blender. It was a word before the invention and has uses outside if cooking. It also says with not in the electric mixer.
@@TheBones1188 At the end of that very same sentence it says to use an electric blender. Kay really did nothing wrong here.
@@Elhao it says with not in aka meaning using a hand mixer

That's a top notch idea. The RCMP might put me in the sugar bush for doing it instead of maple syrop, but this is genius.
2:52 I am also wondering why y'alls bacon be like that
@21darkster it's just a different thickness cut of meat and she hasn't cooked it for nearly long enough. I like my bacon to have a bit of crisp to it
Mmmmm u gotta have the lemon juice on it or what ya doing
What always stands out to me about Kay is how much she really seems to have the actual process of cooking.
Like, she's scared of knives, she hates touching the ingredients, she seems to preemptively dislike a good amount of the things she cooks...
She clearly doesn't research any of the recipes and cooks half of them without knowing what they even are. Hell, she keeps forgetting the recipe names.
I mean, she even claims that nearly anything that requires any bit of exertion (chopping things, crushing garlic, etc) physically hurts her.
She doesn't use any of the suggestions her audience sends her, keeps doing things "her way" and then is surprised when they turn out bad.
She doesn't even look happy in the intros most of the time.
...
So WHY does she even have a cooking show? It baffles me.
as a british person, can confirm we evicted kay and she is no longer british as everyone has sugar on their pancakes here
That ain't pancake, that's just a piece of paper
Swedish pancakes are suppose to be like crepes but a bit thicker but this just messed up
August missed the best opportunity to comment that the pancake itself looked sad as if it was about to come alive and scream when she cut into it
My first thought was a blender. Mixing is what the word "Mix" or "combine" is for.
I like to think I'm a somewhat competent cook, but I would read that and break out the liquidator - bend means decimate and as you quite rightly say mix (or whisk) are separate for a reason.
If it wanted the bacon in pieces the recipe would add it after the blending. Mind you I'd not trust a recipe that tells you to microwave bacon.
to answer your question of floppy bacon, im pretty sure its cause we use a different part of the pigs body
To answer your question about the bacon being floppy I think it might be 'Canadian bacon' which is sorta like ham because it comes from a different part of the pig, normal bacon comes from the belly while canadian bacon comes from the back so it's cut in circles rather than strips. or she's just getting weird cuts of bacon.
exactly what i was thinking, probably an upper cut of the pig.
It very much is, we call it back bacon. Thin crispy bacon like you would usually use we call streaky bacon
Yes it’s usually back bacon in the uk. In the US the standard is streaky bacon from the belly, which is less common here. It’s still readily available but mainly used to wrap meats such as chicken and turkey (or for pigs in blankets).
I wish August would put a pinned comment describing the types of bacon.
There are 99 comments about bacon on this video.
@PotatoPirate123 Canadians man
Kay never fails to just be herself. I mean that in a good way.
Whether you like your pancakes sweet or savoury, both salt and sugar are required.
I once made the fatal mistake of skipping that pinch of salt when making pancakes.
No, you don't need sugar to make a pancake
@@gamingnoodles3095
It inhibits the development of gluten, which enhances the texture.
@@ingloriousMachina I've literally found recipes that don't call for sugar
@@gamingnoodles3095 yall are probably talking about different types of pancake.

I'm from Sweden and I think she is making "ugnspannkaka" or swedish oven pancake. But blending bacon is not something we would do. It does contain bacon/ham bits but they are diced, not blended.
As a Swede, I have to say that whatever she did to that oven pancake should be illegal. Ty
As a Polish person, I’d show her good and better pancakes!

@@serenity8839 I saw someone do a reconstruction of a Neolithic lental patty thing based on the petrified remains of one found at an archeological site - it definately seemed better than this thing!
I’m Canadian and we have “canadian bacon” (we usually call it back bacon or pemeal) and British bacon is basically the fusion baby of Canadian and American bacon. American is the belly and fattier it’s also hot smoked, British is from the loin and usually cold smoked or not smoked at all although they’re both cured from my understanding. The different part of the animal, the different cut (british is usually thicker), the leanness, the different curing method could all lead to that floppiness.
I miss the Cooking With Jack videos already. He had this charming awkwardness about him.
At least he was on the Bell Curve.
I'm still waiting for his strokeanoff recipe.
In England we typically eat pancakes (much thinner than US pancakes) rolled up with sugar and lemon on top. They are much closer to crepes. Typically pancakes are sweet.
I cannot blame Kay for this one, it literally says to blend it with a blender.

@@lisahoshowsky4251back bacon gets crispy too, it just takes longer
It’s a complicated relationship we have with this woman.
I’m not from the UK but from what I have seen they have two types of bacon. They have rashers and streaky bacon. The streaky bacon looks like North American bacon.
You are right their typical bacon is more like ham.
Specifically it's back bacon we have.
The recipe you showed us says 'with an electric blender' like 5 words after you stopped reading.

@@TheGhostFart I know, I have one, although, mixing it makes way more since, as I really don't understand why you'd want to have a bacon flavored pancake, instead of a pancake with bacon pieces in it.
@@dyakonov Beats me, I've never really heard people use that term when referring to mixing IRL, only from a few cooking shows.
I'm Swedish and I didn't actually know this pancake is Swedish, anyway this was a horror to watch. This is actually so easy to make, I love it with bacon but it's great sweet too. I have never eaten the bacon version with sugar, it's great with lingonberry jam though. You're not supposed to mix the bacon in it but cook it separately and put it in last.
I think the bacon here in the UK is different to the States because here it's mostly back bacon, so it has less fat marbled through it and is more lean meat. Typically there's only a rind on one outside edge. We do have bacon like America, but it's a separate product here called streaky bacon and it's normally not eaten on its own because it's such a high fat content, it's normally chopped finely and used as an ingredient, or used to wrap dryer meats such as a turkey roast to keep it moist. The best bacon here is bacon medallions which are completely rindless and just rounds of back meat sliced thin. So yeah, less fat, more muscle tissue = softer texture
the reason why british bacon looks like that is because they don't understand good food like Americans do, I mean in the UK they legit eat beans on toast for breakfast and think its good lol
Just when I've thought I've seen everything, I see someone cutting meat up with scissors. 😂
Don't know where you're from, but I've seen this done from Europe, to the Carribbean. There is such a thing as kitchen scissors, they're made for it.

You have meat shears, fish shears. You can buy them in any culinary section in my country.
It's a thing.
The reading comprehension of both august and kay are both kinda interesting lmao, I think it is a electric blender, but its cooked bacon without the grease.
The uncooked bacon probably added a lot of extra oil and water to the mix which messed up the texture.
Kay is a culinary pioneer, and nothing you say will prove otherwise. I stake my life, my soul on it.
It will cost you both just taking a bite out of her grub just look at her son xD

4:30 I can’t even laugh at k on this one, because that’s exactly what I thought was being said
I'm dutch amd we don't put sugar in pancakes either. The sweet stuff usually goes on the pancake, that or cheese is nice too. Sometimes it can be made with ham, or ham and cheese or bacon, even apples.... Dutch pancakes can get weird.
The French also make pancakes like this.
They are called Crepes.
Yeah, but I'm proud of our other baked goods. And I put powderd sugar on my fruit filled pancakes/crepes. The Americans have tainted my taste.
Crepes are amazingly delicious, super easy to make, and are highly versatile. I’ve made basic crepe batter without sugar and filled them with savory cheese, smoked salmon, and other delicious things - even salad. I’ve also added a bit of sugar and filled them with fruit or pistachio butter. My personal favorite is fruit and coconut jam. I’ve also made a sweet crepe cake by topping many, many crepes with matcha cream and dusting the top with matcha. I’m not a good baker of sweet things, but I can make crepes all day long.
Typically we make small and thick pancakes on the griddle and use them as breakfast sandwich buns. Usually egg, cheese, and bacon/ham/sausage goes in.

To answer your bacon question, American bacon is made of pork belly and has a lot of fat to get crispy, whereas our bacon is from the pig's back and has less fat and gets less crispy.
Cheap bacon is also stored in brine so that the water soaks in and it inflates the weight of the bacon, and this water comes out when you cook it. That's why Kay's bacon was so wet and floppy - not too well cooked in the first place, goes less crispy anyway, and it's wet because it's nasty corner shop bacon.
British bacon comes from the loin of the pig whereas American bacon comes from the belly. So British bacon has less fat and a subtle flavor whereas American bacon has more fat and a more smokey flavor.
“I can’t see it being q problem” that is some elite food reviewing right there
She confuses the hell out of me. I don’t trust her to read the directions, somehow she thinks pancake says omelette
Bad cooking instructions. Blend or combine. Lol
Back bacon is the most common form in the UK and Ireland, and is the usual meaning of the plain term "bacon". A thin slice of bacon is known as a rasher; about 70% of bacon is sold as rashers.[20] Heavily trimmed back cuts which consist of just the eye of meat, known as a medallion, are also available. All types may be unsmoked or smoked. The side cut normal in America is known as "streaky bacon",[21] and there is also a long cut, curving round on itself, known as "middle bacon", which is back bacon at one end, and streaky at the other, as well as less common cuts.[22] Bacon is also sold and served as joints, usually boiled, broiled or roast,[23] or in thicker slices called chops or steaks. These are usually eaten as part of other meals.[5]
Bacon may be cured in several ways, and may be smoked or unsmoked; unsmoked bacon is known as "green bacon".[5] Fried or grilled bacon rashers are included in the "traditional" full breakfast. Hot bacon sandwiches are a popular cafe dish in the UK and Ireland,[24] and are anecdotally recommended as a hangover cure.[25]
Bacon is often served with eggs and sausages as part of a full English breakfast.[26]
Also Back bacon (English) is superior to streaky bacon (American).
@@Bluejay_99336Not superior, just different.
