00:00Hi, my name is Holly Alton and I'm a food and drink writer for National World.
00:04Today I'm going to be making pancakes using a simple hack.
00:07Now I have never made pancakes in my life before,
00:10so I've chosen to do it in a very easy way and I'm going to see how it turns out.
00:15I'm going to be using a pancake shaker.
00:18This is basically pre-made pancake mix,
00:21which you put some water in and add to the pan and hopefully fry up some delicious pancakes.
00:26The instructions are step one, add 290 millilitres of cold water to fill line.
00:32Replace cap, invert the bottle and tap lightly on the work surface
00:36to loosen the mix from the base of the bottle.
00:40Shake for two minutes or until mixture is smooth.
00:42Two is to preheat a seven inch frying pan over a medium to high heat.
00:47Add a small amount of oil to the pan, enough to lightly coat the base.
00:51Pour approximately three tablespoons of pancake batter over the base of the frying pan
00:55to form a thin pancake.
00:57Step three is to cook for one or two minutes,
00:59gently easing the pancake from the sides of the pan.
01:02Pancake will be ready to turn slash flip when the batter moves freely from the base of the pan.
01:07Turn or flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown.
01:11The final step, step four, is to serve with an assortment of sweet or savoury toppings.
01:55So
02:14okay, it's time to dig in. I did make a few mistakes along the way.
02:18I actually decided to just pour in loads of batter
02:21because the tablespoon thing didn't seem to be working out too well
02:24but then I had too much pancake.
02:27So yeah, I think I flipped too early with the first pancake
02:32which means that I think I still might have some liquidy batter in this-
02:36in the first pancake and then the second pancake
02:39I think actually cooked too much and the fire alarm went off.
02:42But overall they look okay.
02:44I added some golden syrup.
02:46I would have added bananas too but sadly I don't have any
02:49but this will do for now just to figure out how these pancakes taste.
02:54You know what? I actually think they're really delicious.
