How to Make 'Hungry Jack Fluffy Pancakes' Exactly Like the Box

No butter in the batter , no less , no lacing .

So I'm starting off with the wet ingredients first .

Um , I've cracked in 200 mil of milk .

A whole egg .

I'm not separating my white .

I'm not whiskey .

My whites .

I'm going with some butter milk as well .

I've got laced butter throughout it .

Buttermilk .

It's slightly acidic , which therefore reacts well with the bicarb and therefore gives you bubbles as it gives off carbon dioxide .

Hoping that that gives me my bubbles rather than the egg whites .

What's happened ?

So you are using a chemical raising agent ?

Jamie is using a physical one .

I don't know if is it gonna work ?

If I'm honest , but we'll go for it .

Barely any whisking to bring it together ?

Minimal resting .

We do pancakes every single year .

This year , Pancake day has kind of crept up on me .

Oh , my God .

Yes , Evers , We've got a full wrong reversal .

They're getting scientific , and Evers is bringing the humour .

Well , no , just don't rise to it .

The odds are stacked against them .

They might flip a couple of times .

That was good .

Well done , sir .

Bearing in mind , this is This is the first round of pancakes which you get a feel for it if to say these do birds .

Don't judge me .

I have more chances to get it right later on .

We're gonna judge your stack at the end .

But I'm also judging your choice of ingredients .

Your choice of method , your process , your technique and everything along the way .

This is a technique challenge .

How are you serving yours ?

We don't want you to reinvent the wheel here , but a nice classic serving would be lovely .

We have given you some Citrus , some rhubarb , but equally if you just wanted butter icing , sugar , maple or honey , that's fine .

I think I'm a maple syrup and butter person .

I'm happy with the rise of mine .

Not so happy with the shape .

Nice and fluffy , super buttery .

Cos I've got loads of lace , the buttermilk approaching halfway through , and Barry is deciding to get a second opinion on his first batch .

I think they're good .

I think you've got work to do .

I think he's tasting raw flour .

I've gotta change something if you haven't got to .

If you've , if you've absolutely nailed it , I'm pretty sure you haven't .

There's a wonderful from Jay's and a beautiful colour that looks pretty even .

I've got the fluff that I wanted .

What I need to make sure is that inside the structure is actually what it needs to be is that I'm a happy face .

I can't see it .

I've got the rice , but inside it's a bit too dense So what I'm thinking is the Pan does need to be slightly lower so that it cooks all the way through .

We did say a stack of pancakes .

We didn't specify how many in a stack , but I think it's gotta be at least two or more .

No , I'd say a stack is 32 is a sandwich .

Three's a club sandwich .

Are you doing a second batch ?

Are ya ?

Yep .

Yeah , it's time .

Oh , it's all kicking off now , right For batch two .

I'm keeping most of it the same .

But this time I've added a bit of salt to counteract the sweetness and some melted butter to lace the mixture and keep the pan dry .

So I was disappointed by the rise of my first pancake mixture .

So for my second batch , er , I'm gonna be adding more B carb and more sugar , and I didn't think they were sweet enough .

Oh , what ?

I didn't put my butter in the wet stuff .

Oh , no .

And now you're gonna beat again really quickly .

Might be a mistake .

Might have screwed that .

What I would say is , it's a lovely , smooth batter compared to Jamie's more lumpy but less whisked batter .

We talked about my irregular shape and that my pancakes weren't a good shape , either .

So I'm going to try a room cutter .

So do you just go straight in , or do you need to grease that or am I helping ?

Oh , I hadn't thought about that until right about now .

How many ?

How how long ?

Left 16 minutes and none of you have yet done anything to go with it .

We've given you some lovely rhubarb .

No , rhubarb's not part of a technique .

Just had a thought .

What's my technique for flipping ?

I think I have to keep the pancake in the ring cutter and flip the ring cutter , which will flip the pancake .

Or do I take the ring cutter off ?

Risk it .

I don't know what's best .

How's it going for you today ?

Much like my trousers .

Er , the the belt is keeping When you take the belt off , it gives the opportunity for everything in to come out .

So I've reapplied the ring cutter the belt in this analogy , and I I'm going to flip everything right .

We've had a great result , but also a terrible result .

At the same time , the top , which is now , the bottom is not cooking at all .

Cos it's not on the pan .

But I'm so glad that he has used a ring cutter because this is there's nothing wrong with the ring cutter .

I just don't understand .

They're turning it upside down so that it's now four inches from the pan .

No , it's not now , cos you're gonna see the sides .

Remember the measuring cup that we had the half a cup , measuring cup .

You can actually dip it inside of here and pour it inside in the center .

I always pour it from the center cause it's gonna actually spread it .

We're gonna leave that here .

As you can see it's beginning to cook to know that you're ready to actually flip your pancakes .

You're gonna see little specks of bubbles all on top .

And once you see a lot of bubbles on top , that's when we're gonna flip it .

OK ?

Let's go ahead and insert that spa .

You always wanna go from your edge and work your way to the middle and then you're gonna put it .

We're gonna allow it probably about another 15 , 20 seconds to cook on the opposite side because it has almost cooked fully from one side with the bubbles growing underneath .

Ok .

Let's go ahead and take that out and skill it cause it's ready .

So there you have it .

Pancakes made from a hungry Jack .

Jane , How's your confidence , Baz ?

Oh , I'm all right .

I'm OK .

I'm gonna have I'm gonna I'm gonna do a stack of six .

Shall we Tell him about the flower on his face ?

Mine look more like Prio Mine look like crumpets .

I wouldn't worry about it .

I'm loving this .

Of course you are .

You're on the side .

2.5 minutes .

It's all riding on these boys .

What are you doing , Jay ?

You're doing a butter , butter and maple syrup mix .

Yes , and obviously a shot of whiskey .

I'm serving these .

How ?

I've served them at home with a bit of maple syrup on the side .

Jay , you've got 18 seconds .

Which ones are you going with ?

I don't know .

Last five seconds .

Four What He what he going for ?

221 .

Jay , which ones .

Are you submitting ?

Nice .

Risky , but I like it .
