Learn English FAST | Making Pancakes Together for Beginners

[00:00:01]Today we are making pancakes together.

[00:00:05]>> Yes, I really want to learn.

[00:00:09]>> [laughter] >> Great. First, we need some ingredients.

[00:00:15]>> What do we need for pancakes?

[00:00:18]>> We need flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.

[00:00:23]>> Hmm.

[00:00:26]Do we need butter, too?

[00:00:30]>> Yes, we need butter and baking powder.

[00:00:32]>> Okay.

[00:00:33]I can find the flour.

[00:00:42]Here is the flour and the sugar.

[00:00:46]>> Perfect. Now we need two bowls.

[00:00:49]Can you get two bowls from the cabinet?

[00:00:54]>> Sure. Here are two bowls.

[00:01:00]>> Now we need a big spoon and a whisk.

[00:01:04]>> I see a whisk in the drawer.

[00:01:10]Here is the whisk.

[00:01:12]What do we do first?

[00:01:13]>> First, we put the flour in the bowl.

[00:01:18]Now we add the sugar and baking powder.

[00:01:25]>> How much sugar do we need?

[00:01:27]>> Hmm. We need two spoons of sugar.

[00:01:33]>> Okay, I add two spoons now.

[00:01:40]>> Now we add one spoon of baking powder.

[00:01:44]>> Is baking powder important?

[00:01:50]>> Yes, it makes the pancakes fluffy.

[00:01:56]We also add a small pinch of salt.

[00:01:59]>> Just a small pinch, okay.

[00:02:05]>> Now we mix the dry ingredients together.

[00:02:09]>> It looks like a sandy mixture.

[00:02:16]>> That's right. Now we need eggs.

[00:02:20]>> I will get the eggs now.

[00:02:27]Here are three eggs from the fridge.

[00:02:29]>> Perfect. We need three eggs today.

[00:02:35]Watch how I crack the egg.

[00:02:40]>> [sighs and gasps] >> Can I try the next one?

[00:02:46]>> Yes, of course.

[00:02:48]Just tap it gently.

[00:02:50]>> Okay, I tap it gently now.

[00:02:58]Oh, no. It's a little messy.

[00:03:00]>> [laughter] >> It's okay. [music] That happens sometimes.

[00:03:08]>> This time it's much cleaner.

[00:03:10]>> Great job. Now we add the milk.

[00:03:14]We need one cup of milk.

[00:03:20]>> One full cup. I understand.

[00:03:26]>> Now I whisk the eggs and milk.

[00:03:31]>> It looks fun to whisk.

[00:03:35]>> Do you want to try whisking, too?

[00:03:38]>> Yes, I want to try it.

[00:03:42]>> [laughter] >> Oops, some milk splashed out.

[00:03:50]>> No problem. Just whisk a bit slower.

[00:03:57]>> Is this the right speed now?

[00:04:00]>> [snorts] >> Yes, that speed looks perfect.

[00:04:03]>> Mhm.

[00:04:04]>> Now we pour this into the flour.

[00:04:09]>> It's turning into batter now.

[00:04:13]>> We stir gently until it's smooth.

[00:04:17]>> I see some small lumps here.

[00:04:20]>> Mhm.

[00:04:27]A few lumps are okay, actually.

[00:04:30]>> [sighs] >> Oh, good. I was a little worried.

[00:04:33]>> [laughter] >> Now the batter needs to rest.

[00:04:40]>> Why does the batter need to rest?

[00:04:43]>> Resting makes the pancakes softer.

[00:04:49]>> That makes sense to me now.

[00:04:51]Shamoth.

[00:04:54]>> We wait about 10 minutes now.

[00:04:58]>> Okay, I can wait 10 minutes.

[00:05:05]>> Let's get the pan ready now.

[00:05:09]>> Should I turn on the stove?

[00:05:15]>> Yes, but let me show you first.

[00:05:20]>> Okay, I'm watching closely.

[00:05:23]>> We use medium heat, not too hot.

[00:05:31]>> The butter is melting nicely.

[00:05:35]>> We spread the butter around the pan.

[00:05:38]>> It smells really good already.

[00:05:40]>> Mhm.

[00:05:48]The batter is ready to cook now.

[00:05:50]>> Great. I'm ready to cook, too.

[00:05:55]>> We pour the batter into the pan.

[00:05:59]>> Wow, it makes a perfect circle.

[00:06:03]>> Look, small bubbles are forming now.

[00:06:08]>> I see them. What do they mean?

[00:06:15]>> Bubbles mean it's almost ready to flip.

[00:06:21]>> The edges look golden already.

[00:06:25]>> Do you want to flip it yourself?

[00:06:28]>> Yes.

[00:06:29]But I'm a little nervous.

[00:06:33]>> Just slide it under, nice and slow.

[00:06:39]>> Okay, I'm sliding it slowly now.

[00:06:47]Oh, no. It landed a bit crooked.

[00:06:50]>> That's okay. It still looks great.

[00:06:56]>> Phew, now it looks much better.

[00:06:59]>> Yes, and it's cooking evenly now.

[00:07:05]See this golden color? That's perfect.

[00:07:08]>> I'm so happy it worked out.

[00:07:11]>> [laughter] >> Our first pancake is ready now.

[00:07:18]>> It looks amazing. Let's make more.

[00:07:27]>> This time, you pour the batter.

[00:07:30]>> Okay, I pour it carefully now.

[00:07:36]Mine isn't a perfect circle.

[00:07:38]>> [laughter] >> That's fine. It still tastes the same.

[00:07:46]>> Look, I flipped it perfectly.

[00:07:49]>> Wonderful. You're learning so fast.

[00:07:55]Let's add it to our stack now.

[00:07:59]>> We already have three pancakes.

[00:08:02]>> [laughter] >> We have enough batter for one more.

[00:08:09]>> Let's make the last one together.

[00:08:15]>> Look, we're making it together now.

[00:08:19]>> [laughter] >> This is the best pancake yet.

[00:08:27]>> Perfect. That's our last pancake.

[00:08:31]>> Now we have a huge stack.

[00:08:36]>> Now we need butter and syrup.

[00:08:38]>> I love syrup on my pancakes.

[00:08:46]I put the butter right here.

[00:08:50]>> It's melting so nicely on top.

[00:08:55]Now [music] we pour the syrup on top.

[00:08:57]>> It looks so delicious already.

[00:09:07]Wow, this tastes really delicious.

[00:09:10]>> I'm so glad you like it, David.

[00:09:15]Now we clean the kitchen together.

[00:09:17]>> Yes, let's clean up together now.

[00:09:25]This was a really fun morning.

[00:09:28]>> Yes, and now you can cook alone.

[00:09:31]>> [laughter] >> Can we make pancakes again next week?

[00:09:38]>> Of course. I would love that.

[00:09:40]>> [laughter]
