    My family is a mix of German, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian….somewhere our family found a dish we call Ribbledutch. It's a batter similar to waffle or pancake and after it's poured into a hot buttered skillet is basically scrambled for lack of a better term. It's cut up in the pan as it's just setting and scrambled around so it cooks into little roundish chunks the size of peas up to marbles.. we then use butter and sugar or butter and syrup to eat it. It's so yummy and was always a treat!!

    A quick thought on the pancake cerel / cereal pancakes: Why not put a little melted butter in the batter and cook them in the oven? No tossing required.
    And if you're going to have corn flakes with the pannacotta, line the dishes with powdered corn flakes before putting them in the fridge to set. They'll come out nicely without the need for a blowtorch.

    The joy and pride on James’ face seeing Jamie preheat his oven for the Big Mac triangles was so wholesome ☺️ I can’t imagine the reaction he’d have if he ever sees Barry turn the hob off when he’s finished with it because it’s such an unlikely event the entire studio could have a simultaneous heart attack because he’s forever leaving hobs on with no utensils on them 😂

    Mini pancakes AKA poffertjes!! Mates, get in, this is a Dutch staple!

    8:17 what no chip companies are thinking

    There's no ketchup in a Big Mac and you've put it in twice

  7. @peterschmeichel3212

    Am I the first to notice that these "tiny pancakes" are Dutch poffertjes (which have probably been around for 1000 years, long before the advent of Tiktok)?

    My folks taught me how to make crepes when I was 5 years old. My favourite part was when I was testing out the battter and frying out a bunch of drops in butter.

  9. @snewl5324

    poffertjes,,

  10. @twilightshadow91

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Little late, I know, but as for the pancake cereals: Look into the Dutch dish called "Poffertjes". Those are like that, but slightly bigger and made in a special pan.

  11. @ethancampbell215

    James’ calm level headed approach mixed with his really dry sarcastic humour makes him a really interesting person, he knows he is a very skilled chef and rarely panics which is such a refreshing thing to watch, watching the normals panic and flutter when things start to go wrong is amazing but the chefs calm approach is seriously underrated

  12. @ethancampbell215

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    As much as the little pancakes are a novelty item and are a pain to make, I think instead of using them for breakfast they could instead be used to make a cool dessert option, something a bit boozy and chocolatey I think would be delicious

  13. @bigbear03011963

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    those mini pancakes are called in the netherlands poffertjes

  14. @beckycaughel7557

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Why wouldn’t you just make big pancakes which is easier and then cut them up? I assume I must be missing something but I don’t know what

  15. @patmaurer8541

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    I really like the combination of sophistication and playfulness in this dish!

  16. @abigailgerlach5443

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    The coffee looks good, but it's midnight and I want Starbucks!
    Pancake cereal? Too much effort for too little return.
    Big mac pockets – just buy a big mac.
    The last dessert(?) looked yummy!

  17. @marthawilson444

    Interesting, but not a corn flake or bourbon fan.

  18. @patrickkelly2149

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Jamie you said it is not a big Mac but You did said it was tasty so it would be a big tasty then lol

  19. @acolytetojippity

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    that whipped coffee would be amazing over like, french vanilla ice cream. or hell, just on its own with a dusting of powdered sugar. i'm not sure what the point of the milk is supposed to be.

    tiktok is an absolute cesspool.

  21. @threethousandbees7260

    Speaking as someone who normally hates American cheese, Big Mac flavor requires American cheese

  22. @patmaurer8541

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Could we have an episode on plating/presentation? I get raves on colors, textures & flavors, but every plate is symmetrical–it's boring! Help me find some height and flair?

  23. @isinox

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    brilliant stuff, thanks!

  24. @C64-Museum

    Have you never heared of "Poffertjes"? You can turn them with a toothpick!

  25. @colten21210

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    If there's not 6 pounds of lettuce it's not a big Mac

  26. @Incusaudio

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    You could have done a cereal milk panna cotta to make it more breakfast infused!

  27. @RogueSmithers

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    There use to be a mini pancake cereal in the early 2000s, it didn't last long at all. Just make a short stack and use a cookie cutter or something to cut into mini pancakes that you then deep fry to make a crunchy cereal, that's how we did it when that cereal was discontinued and we were smoking tough as teens

  28. @womeninhistory12

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Can we rename this Drunk Chef? LOL

  29. @alleosussquirt8041

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Maybe the pancake one'd be easier if you just took a regular pancake and punched a bunch of tiny holes in it.

  30. @sankha2361

    I loved their chemistry. Obviously they're together all the time as a team but to have this duo act…It was good! Loving the videos.

  31. @Dexy83

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    I use the stand mixer for the coffee, and definitely stir it together. Yummy!

  32. @PokeMaster22222

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    2:10 Why would you put ice in there? As the ice melts, it'd water down the milk, and thus changing the flavour of the drink. Ew.

  33. @_Grumpy_Panda_

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Is the big mac in the UK different or something? Over here its patties, three buns, lettuce, onion, pickle, cheese, and thousand island dressing. Those didn't have any lettuce, and the dip wasn't even remotely close to thousand island dressing, and why the ketchup in the meat? I'm really kind of confused by that one.

  34. @cheez4208

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    I call the Big Mac Triangles pocket burgers, I also cook them in the oven instead of the deep fryer.

  35. @drsch

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    Needs bacon.

  36. @unice5656

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    I don't care about eating them but I would watch 30 minutes of James flipping tiny pancakes on repeat

  37. @TheMsLisaF

    December 17, 2023 at 8:11 pm

    There’s a Big Mac salad you can find online that really does taste like a Big Mac
