Keto Pancakes Follow-up: Recipe Scaling, Bulk Mix, and Waffles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video, I follow up on some questions and comments I got from my "Keto Pancake" video, linked below. I answer questions on reheating, making in bulk, waffle-izing the recipe, and whether it can create a decent McGriddle bun.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the video, when I did a half batch, I miscalculated the volume measurements as 1/2 cup plus 1 TB of dry mix. It should be 3/4 cup plus 2 TB dry mix. I re-ran my waffle experiment using a Dash No Mess and the yield was 3 1/2 waffles. I stand by my opinion that this recipe (even when made correctly) is too cake-like for waffles.

Notifications a little sketchy? Since you mentioned this I’ve found EIGHT episodes that I hadn’t seen. Now I’m off to try these.

When you mentioned that the top of the pancake came out not as done as the bottom from the griddle, is it possible the top element may be faulty, and not heating as well as the bottom?
Do you have a video. Or know of a video that has a really good waffle recipe. Something that I can use with the dash mini but not a full fledged waffle maker? Does that make sense?
@@McGrizzle086 You can probably find something that suits you in my Chaffle playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLOMI-eTG2nCkT1iKZfJVgHReyIjkjgzum
The easiest is just a base chaffle of egg and mozzarella with a scoop of flavored protein powder (I find the Quest cinnamon crunch to be great for waffles).

Hi Steve, could you consider looking into making a keto replacement for maple syrup? A popular brand of maple essence is 50% maple syrup and alcohol, and diabetics are asserting that it raises their blood sugar.
I'm sure your viewers would appreciate your experimentation? ☺
I often flip things over using a spatula on the Mini Dash griddle and cook the other side with the lid open in order to brown the other side. Thanks for the video.
Nice video, your explanations are excellent, mixing technique was very professional and similar to commercial practices. Finally, documenting experimental “failures” is shows a degree of honesty and integrity rarely seen on other RUclips channels.
Glad it was helpful!
Now I wish I hadn't found this channel. I'm watching vids after vids, doing a binge-watching, when I have tons of things waiting for my attention. I'm going to have to stop. :-)
I’ll still be here tomorrow. 😉
I agree about the Dash Mini Griddle not cooking food as well on the top. To work around this I usually flip things over half way through the cook (if whatever I’m cooking is set enough to be turned). Works very well.
I find that if there's enough rise in whatever you're griddling to make lid lift up, it turns out pretty good. But for the most part, I only use it for my McGriddle buns.
Hello! For waffles, I separate the eggs and beat the whites. Mix all ingredients and fold the whites in last. That creates a light fluffy waffle with a nice crispy outside! Love your videos and recipes!
Thanks for the tip!
When I make a bunch of pancakes or waffles & have leftovers I will reheat them in the toaster so they crisp up. 😉
They freeze and reheat well, so long as they don’t frost.
I flip my griddle Dash upside down half way through the cooking time; works well instead of opening it and trying to flip the pancake.
Great Video! I used to premix and double batch before my Keto baking. Now during Keto I have 2-3-4 separate bowls with ziplock bag in them and measure dry ing. into each bag to make sure recipe will turn out Oh label bag and refrigerate. Yr sifting makes sense tho. Thx!!
Same! I make up 5 baggies at a time. So much easier this way.
I find many keto recipes very temperamental. Seldom turned out the same twice. I guess I am not a good cook or patient for that matter. 😅 Hats off to you, Mr. Steve 😂
I made your pancakes for dinner for my little family! They were delicious 😋 We loved them! This will be a staple recipe in my kitchen for sure! My 15 year old devoured them and said they taste like regular pancakes lol 😂 I made a double batch and ended up with two extra pancakes then what the recipe said and they weren’t wimpy in size at all. By far the best keto pancake recipe! Great job!
Thank you.
Yes, on my griddle I flip it and cook a little longer to get both sides. Love the idea of making ahead a pancake mix! THANKS!
SO WHAT DID WE LEARN HERE!? I LOVE YOU!!
Hi, Steve! Great video. I really appreciate your honest and thorough review, as it saves us from those not-as-nice offerings.
Love your honesty in the reviews! Wish you were my neighbor- I'd pay you to cook for us! My husband wants to be your friend! 🤣😂
Love the recipe. Great to make on my griddle for the whole family staying at our place for the weekend 3 out of 7are Keto (including) me. The 4 non-keto ones went for seconds!
That’s my favorite testimonial - when non-keto people give it their seal of approval. Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Blueberry pancakes for dinner tonight.
Bomb!!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love the test kitchen, keep it coming Steve. Thanks viv
I use the mini griddle too! Love it! I always turn the pancake over! It’s perfect!
Love the idea of a bulk mix! Brilliant
I finally made the pancakes today. So lovely light and fluffy. Thankyou.
Thank you Steve! I love the bulk idea!
In use my Dash mini griddle to heat up keto burritos I have prepared in advance. I spread both sides with butter for heating. Works great.
Great tip!
Funny, this morning I tried the recipe with waffles as well and thought the same thing. Definitely need to tinker a bit more to get that crispness. Thanks for the dry bulk info. That will really save some time in the future.
I believe waffle recipes generally have more oil than pancakes. Try doubling the oil and see if you like the texture and crispness.
Thanks for the tip. Per Alton Brown, not only should I add more fat, but also more "sugar" to aid in the caramelization. The thing is, I haven't found a sweetener that caramelizes. I guess I should try firing a brulee torch at some BochaSweet to see what happens.
@@SeriousKeto I got a couple of torches after watching Sous Vide Everything. That guy torches everything. ;)
For sous vide steaks and for fire-roasting chile peppers, I have a MMAP blowtorch with a searing attachment. I've only set of the smoke detector once. 😄
@@SeriousKeto hi have you tried lokanto monk fruit? That caramelises beautifully on Creme brûlée .
@@SeriousKeto allulose caramelizes beautifully
awesome video
Thank you so much for your hard work Steve! You make my keto journey more doable! I was all set to make another pancake recipe featured on Wes' channel, but I think yours will be the ONE! Are you working on a syrup recipe??? Choc Zero is so expensive. :-)
ChocZero is more expensive than the garbage syrups out there, but it’s worth it in my opinion. I don’t promote anything that I don’t pay for with my own money.
I bake them in my waffler just fine for waffle shaped pancakes. Works great.
I bet if you added a little more oil to the batter, they'd crisp up a bit more in the waffle maker.
i have found that if a waffle/ chaffle batter leaves you with a soft end product, 90% of the time a trip through the toaster will give you the crunch you're looking for.
So I just tried toasting one of these and it did not crisp up. According to Alton Brown, waffle batter requires more oil than pancake batter so that it can "fry" on the waffle iron. Next time I'll look at upping the oil.
I love your videos. I hope you don't mind if I mention that half of 1 and 3/4 is 7/8, which would make your measurement for the flour for a half recipe, 1 cup minus 2 Tablespoons.
Thanks for the catch. I've updated the description (though I am making it 3/4 cup PLUS 2 TB, just because I think it's easier to add than subtract ingredients).
Adding some (?) arrowroot flour to waffle mix may give a crisper texture. (Works on regular wheat flour waffles.)
I’ll have to give that a try.
Love your follow up videos!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Love your voice muaaaaa.❤❤
Thank you.
If you use roasted walnut oil instead it adds a nice flavor.
Thanks again Steve!😀👍💜🙏☮🌞🎶
You are so welcome
I was disappointed in my Dash griddle. My pancakes were not done in the middle. Just like yours was done well on the bottom but not on top. However, it makes great omlets.
The full size Dash griddle is disappointing in terms of performance.
@@SeriousKeto Yes. Mine is a full size. Makes a nice veggie or ham and cheese omlett for two - perfect for me and Mr. I will keep trying to find a pancake solution. Thank you for your experiments. They help a great deal!
Always so helpful! Thank you for sharing!
I am glad you got the family eating keto pancakes. Dont let them put full sugar syrup on!!! I think Courtney liked the Choc Zero maple syrup.
@Robyn Benson I guess that depends on how much carbs you allow in your day and whether you are willing to consume sucrose, glucose and fructose. There are already 6 net carbs in the recipe so that would take it to 10 which is too much for me. But you may be able to do it depending on your macros.
I have a different waffle maker, but I found it didn't cook completely. I learned to make 2 small waffles ( chaffles ) by not filling the iron completely. About 3/4 full .and I flipped them over . That way they were crispy and appetising. K
Filling 2/3rds to 3/4ths is the way to go, I agree.
Without the flavorings, made in either of the dash, these might be a good option for a quick sandwich "bun". Another great video, thanks Steve!
I could see that for a light weight sandwich but there are probably better options in my “best bread chaffles” video.
@@SeriousKeto Very true, but I'm thinking convenience, one mix. I just need a vehicle to deliver the burger to my mouth other than lettuce or fork.
You can certainly give it a try. I just feel that the texture is too cake-like to be a proper bun. But that's just my opinion. 😉
Great to know on the bulk recipe making. I think if I were to go to the work of making the dry ingredients in bulk, I would probably just go that extra step to make them up completely and freeze.
I think if you have a large skillet (electric or stove top), that's not a bad idea. I haven't done a side by side taste comparison between freshly griddled and frozen/microwaved, but there was nothing about the reheated pancakes that struck me as being "off".
That was what I was wondering, if you could make the entire mix with both dry and wet ingredients, and then portion them out into small batches for how many you want to make, and then freeze the full mix, assuming that would work.
Awesome
I can’t wait to try it
Thank you
Thx for bulk recipe!
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
If people really want to use the Dash Mini Grill because they don't want to turn on the stove and dirty a pan, maybe flip the pancake over and cook for a bit more? To get crispness on the waffle, maybe use some oil in the waffle maker?
Sounds like you're slowly but surely getting the family to try more keto foods! That's probably because it tastes like the "normal" stuff they are used to.
The problem is what they eat and drink that I'm not making for them. 😒 But I'll keep fighting the good fight...
Nice video Steve
Thanks 👍
Great info Steve!
Glad you think so!
I actually did get an email notification for THIS video. The last notification was August 13, the Choc Zero Syrup test. Nothing in between. I won't hold my breath because I don't want to pass out and hit my head though ...
Sadly, trying to get answers from RUclips tech support is essentially impossible. Notifications are definitely a hot mess.
Thanks for your service to the keto community, Steve! Here's a question for anyone and everyone in this viewer community:
I was about to switch from Keto Stix to a Fora 6 Connect blood monitor. Urine strips supposedly lose their analytic capability after the body has been in ketosis for a while, because the body becomes better adapted and not as many ketones end up in the urine.
In the process of ordering a blood monitor, I ran across a breath monitor. It measures the acetone in your breath as an indicator of ketosis. Would breath-acetone measuring also lose it's effectiveness as your body becomes more and more efficient in using ketones? Does anyone actually measure this way or have other words or wisdom for me?
Many thanks in advance!
I wish someone would answer this question!
TY
I wish I had a larger kitchen so I could have as much storage as you do haha! My wife would kill me if I start using her good airtight containers for pancake mix :)
We may have a tiny pantry but with a little organizing I have a shelf for keto. Since I am short I have a lower shelf and hubby has upper shelves. I keep all my keto spices, dry, and canned goods all in one spot, so easy to cook now. He also doesn't keep moving keto all over the place. Marshall's, etc have containers pretty cheap.
I love your Moka Express tee. You know that Renato Bialetti' had his ashes buried in an oversized Moka Express pot, right? (Apologies for the previously dense, awkward text.)
I didn’t know that.
MR WIZARD DOES IT AGIAN! Love this channel! thanks Steve.
Would be really cool if you could come up with a nice crispy waffle mix that we can use in the Dash. I love having mini waffles for Grab-n-Go.
It would be cool, but the challenge is the egg. One egg typically yields 3 pancakes in the batters I've worked on so far. I do have powdered egg whites and powder yolks and I know that powdered sour cream exists. I think I could probably create a dry mix that only required a person to add water and oil to and that could be scaled to any number of pancakes or waffles. The problem is that it would involve buying a number of additional ingredients for most folks...
Serious Keto I actually am ok with not using a pre-done mix ready to go. I’d love a good crispy Waffle recipe though, that freezes well and crisps up when put in the toaster to re-heat.
I wonder if you put the waffle in the toaster that may crisp it up.
I think the issue is that waffles require more oil in the batter so that they “fry” in the waffle iron.
Where's the plunge whisk?!
This batter is a bit too thick for the spring on the plunger whisk.
What do you mean metric and standard?? Metric *is* the world standard 🤣
Anyways I love your channel and thank you for yet another great recipe!
I love the T-shirt! Where do you get one!!!???
6dollarshirts.com -- that's where most of them come from. If they come from Amazon, I link to them in the video description.
Can they be cooked longer and maybe use a cooking spray to help crisp them up?

Np
@@SeriousKeto 😅
Top grade as always.
Have you tried the Dash Sous Vide? I thought it would make a nice sized bread used as a griddle without the inserts. I only tried it once, didn't have great results.
David Holmes I have a Sous Vide Supreme and a Joule immersion circulator. I didn’t know that Dash made a sous vide unit.
@@SeriousKeto I got it because it's square and looked like the bread would be thick enough to slice into 2 pieces. I'll have to try it out again. I believe I used the white bread chaffle batter.
I feel like we’re not talking about the same thing. Can you post a link to the Dash device you’re talking about?
@@SeriousKeto sorry, guess that was clear as mud :-) This one, minus the inserts to use as a griddle.
www.amazon.com/DBBM450GBAQ08-Silicone-Breakfast-Sandwiches-Desserts/dp/B0842RTCCD/
Okay, it's not a Sous Vide machine -- it's an egg bite maker (that might make something similar to the Starbucks sous vide egg bites). That makes more sense. Anyhow, I guess then I can answer your original question accurately -- I do not have one of these, but they look kind of interesting.
I’m more of a waffle guy and also have had trouble with using keto pancake recipes for waffle recipes. My mistakes usually go to the dog, she loves my mess ups. My go to waffle (single large round “Belgium” waffle iron for me) is “Resolution eats” www.resolutioneats.com/blog/worlds-best-waffle/ ...lots of ads etc on the site, so kinda of a pain to visit (but give the devil his due) the waffles are really great...I never tell anyone they are keto.
Per Alton Brown, waffle batter should have more oil and sugar than pancake batter. The oil helps it “fry” and get crisp; the sugar causes caramelization. My next trial run, I’ll up the oil and see how that works.
I consider you a keto “Alton Brown-ish” guy... yes, I meant that as a compliment! I am a fan of both of you. I very much appreciate your adjusting recipes as when I do It I usually get not so great results. Thanks for all of the “Good eats” I have gotten from you.
In the long run, you could be helping people by forcing them to learn math.
😆
I'm sorry I went to your website and can't find where you have something to figure out the batch measurements. Can you please lead me there?
On the recipe, you can click up and down arrows next to “servings”.
Oh duh! Didn’t notice that. Thanks
@@SeriousKeto a
Hi. Can u please tell me whats the diffrence between room temp eggs and from the refrigirator ?
Room temp eggs mix better and rise more in baking.
I wanted to like these so much and I just cant. 😟 The pancakes came out raw no batter how long I cooked them. Bummer. I hope others had better success.
I wish I could see how you did them so that maybe I could diagnose the problem. If you read the comments on the original video, you'll see that with maybe one or two exceptions, they've turned out great for people. Sorry they didn't turn out for you.
Serious Keto I know!! Im so bummed. Ive seen both videos and thats why I finally tried them as I haven’t had keto pancakes from scratch for some time! The batter was super thick too which I though was strange. I might try again if I can salvage these by maybe baking them in foil or something. They definitely don’t need more color.
Do you have a way of checking the temp on your griddle (i.e. IR gun)? I ask because mine runs WAY hotter than what it's set to.
Serious Keto yes, my griddle is pretty steady temp wise. I will try again someday. Thank you for all your continued good works!
Smalls Simonetti try turning the stove top on!
Today is waffle day for me!
If you do it with this recipe I’d recommend doubling the oil. That’s something I read from Alton Brown.
People who are smart enough to be on Keto, are smart enough to multiply fractions.
You need only look through the comments on any of my videos to see that's not all together true. Even I screw up sometimes. 😄
Still, I'd like to think that most of my subscribers can handle fractions. 😉
Just use your noodle 😉🙃
Steve, RUclips does not allow me to receive notifications for your videos because it says your channel is for kids. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!
David Illingworth II my channel is labeled not for kids. If it were for kids, you wouldn’t be able to comment.
Thanks Steve. That’s always the message it gives me when I try to turn on notifications for your channel. I don’t get it. Same error for weeks now. Your channel only. Maybe I’m the only one.
I guess we’ll see if anyone else replies. Notifications on RUclips are a mess.
I just look for Steve’s videos every day. No notifications necessary.
OMG my pancake exploded in the microwave! What a mess!......jk Steve :-)
You had me worried.
