“Hark! A wild carrot has appeared!” - definitely the most random thing I’ve heard in a while 😂 could imagine that being a line in a school play or something 😂
@@mrbarrylewis- probably an American recipe, and most American peanut butter has sugar as it’s second ingredient. Ours typically has salt added rather than sugar, which would make for a pretty awful cookie.
The big problem with the clip and the thermometer is, when you're temping liquid you want the thermometer to be midway not sitting on the bottom of the pan where it's much hotter and you'll melt the top of it since it's tilted over the edge where the flame and heat comes up the outside of the pan
I was gonna say, I went to uni around there and remember at both local cafe's and the student places - usually like £1.00 - £1.50 for a cheese and bacon or cheese and sausage oatcake... this reminded me of a few years back when Aldi were selling "Square Sausages" in slices, social media in England went mad for them... yet they'd existed in Scotland since what, the 1890s?
You can substitute the artificial sweetener sold in the US under the brand name Splenda for the sugar when making those cookies for diabetics. My wife loves them. The manufacturer also sells a brown sugar blend but it has actual sugar in it, though it makes great cookies too. Splenda is a mix of dextrose, maltodextrin and sucralose, you might see it under other brand names. DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated, I just have a diabetic wife to cook for.
I was going to point out the same thing, I’ve done this successfully but added a couple tablespoons of sugar. But not the samurai part, o just used a spoon.
@LiterallyAllNamesAreTaken it has its uses! I'll take the plastic cheese over the broken oily mess they created any day. Also you can buy sodium citrate online and make your own Velveeta style product if you want to make the science cheese a little less scary to you. Adam Ragusea even has a video about deriving sodium citrate from limes if you really want to demystify it.
I make peanut butter cookies like that but with sugar added and they are amazing (I don't do the cut it from the jar thing I use a spoonful for each cookie) 200g peanut butter 175g sugar ¼ tsp fine table salt 1 large egg cook for about 10 mins at 180c but be careful cos they burn easily
I don't add more sugar. Enough of that in my peanut butter. But yeah, I do this all the time. Add some mozzarella or cream cheese, and it becomes a waffle batter.
2 ingredient peanut butter cookies are very much a thing and they are fantastic; but i think you need very processed peanut butter and you have to beat the egg with the peanut butter much more intensely than simply folding them in with a spatula (and maybe even use more than 1 egg)
British peanut butter (whether processed or not) has salt added, whereas American peanut butter has a lot of sugar, usually the second ingredient in the list. So with only eggs and peanut butter there was nothing to add the sweetness that we expect from a cookie.
A much better peanut butter recipe is one cup of PB, one cup of sugar, one large egg and a teaspoon of baking powder. A dash of cinnamon is also a nice addition. This combination will taste much better and have a better final consistency than what you guys tried today.
I was hoping he'd give her a big hug for the cheese grater hack, she deserved it. And I can see using the container to mix the food if you're camping and forgot a bowl. But it would be easier to just scoop it out with a spoon and press into a cookie shape. And I think you used the wrong kind of cheese to melt over the pretzels.
For the oat totillias....1. mix some hetbs into it...I like to do like a 7 herbs frozen mix, salt pepper , sometimes I use galic and onions 2. Make them with chhees, let one side bake turn ad cheese let bake til chees melted. 3. Ad a bit of butter and sugar into the pan and you have great caramelised treats.
Comment I came here to make. Just like ordinary tortillas, oatcakes are pretty bland on their own but can be dressed up in many ways. I was thinking cinnamon or that British mixed spice for a sweetish holiday treat. I wonder- can the cakes be cut up and fried like corn tortilla chips?
My favorite was the clip! I can see myself doing this when I’m heating oil on the stovetop for frying chicken or something! I do like the cheese grater! Also the cheesy pretzel melt but would need to tweak it by stirring at intervals so the cheese melts better with the pretzels! Or melt the cheese on the stovetop and pouring it over the pretzels! Great job Mrs. B!
I’m guessing the video she watched may have been in another language since she said the video indicated they used an almond paste rather than an almond butter. I think that may be the root of the confusion
Barry, there is a style of cheese grater, aka a box grater, that is designed with rubber feet and an internal catch drawer so you can grate your food in either orientation, upright or laying down, and the food remains in the drawer.
Pretzel nachos add in other ingredients like a jalapeno, tomato or onion. Also I wonder if a different cheese would give a more "liquidy" consistency like brie maybe.
The peanut butter "Cookies" needed at least one more egg for moisture and sugar for taste. But to Mrs. B's point - that's just making peanut butter cookies properly.
Massive thanks to Mrs B! I now have a gift I can make that's low cost and that I know my gift recievers will enjoy to add to a homemade hamper (Christmas tree biscuits)
When I was a kid in the 1970s, Mom made us grilled cheese sandwiches with a clothing iron (sandwich buttered on the outside and wrapped in foil). I was an adult before I found out that everyone else uses a frying pan. (I still used an iron for years until I bought an air fryer.)
About the porridge tortilla, not to far from a Staffordshire oatcake, which is made with a mix of ground oats, plain flour and yeast. Delicious with bacon and cheese.
The Iron one reminded me of a guy years ago that made a grilled cheese sandwich using aluminum foil and an iron. Later vids he did a thin chicken cutlet with herbs in foil using an iron. You could try these. Think you bundt pan one would work better with corn chips and grated cheese.
I once cooked a fish I caught in a hotel that had a no cooking in the rooms rule using their steam iron . Tasty fish it was . I used a baking bag to hold the fish in .
Cube the cheese up and put it in the bunt with other yummy toppings. (Bacon maybe jammy onions, be creative) cover and bake till gooey and oozy. Then toss the pretzels in and flip to serve. IDK it might work.
I actually make cookies like that, but you have to have one cup of peanut butter, one cup of sugar, and one egg and you should use a mixing bowl. We've always called them Commodity Cookies because the US government used to give out food called commodities that included peanut butter and sugar. We saved our flour for (american) biscuits.
My guess is the cookies needed more dry ingredients to help retain the peanut butter oil. You could try adding more egg, but it's more likely to become a peanut butter chocolate omelette than a palatable cookie.
Guy from the usa here (sorry about that) wondering if you Barry, showed a quick clip of spreading butter on a Wheatabix? Well, I did it. Not bad really, but how else does one eat them besides in milk?
Oat tortilla hack 2.0: Toast your oats first in an even layer in a 160ºC oven for 2-5 minutes, just until they smell toasty. They will burn if you luxuriate in the smell too long before getting them out of the oven. Blend them up into a fine powder, you've just made toasted oat flour. Blend that with water and fry it up as before, and you'll have a much tastier oat tortilla.
Probably from January like the last few Years there'll be a little break for a few weeks I think. I'll be experimenting in the studio mostly with a few different setups and it'll give me chance to work on a few things too. I don't like stopping but it's only for a short time and i've learnt it is super healthy to do it!
The peanut butter cookie recipe is close to the real recipe. You need 1 cup peanut butter (do not use natural peanut butter or any nut butter that separates/needs to be stirred), 1 cup of sugar, and 1 egg. You can also add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Then if you want you can add chocolate chips. So you were missing the sugar and using the wrong peanut butter lol. Please try that recipe again.
the grater hack isnt about doing it wrong, its about eliminating dishes. I put the grater inside the dish that i putting the thing im grating in to eliminate dishes
Does cheese melt in the microwave? Yes, after melting cheese cubes pour the pretzels. There are silicone Bundt moulds. Never tested, I don't like cheese!
The cookies need sugar. My favorite pb cookie recipe is pb egg sugar and vanilla. Mix, bake scoop. But it works best with jif or Skippy. Not natural nut butter.
5:56 Dunno why but i've heard the word hark more in the past couple of months than in all me 30+ years. Reminded of the lighthouse everytime. Yer fond me lobster !
Not so sure on the oat tortilla thing, cos, erm, that's essentially an oatcake, a common northern england thing, could be a biscuity thing, could be a floppy wrappy thing, but, it's an oatcake, though missing the right set of ingredients for it to be a proper oatcake... :P

“Hark! A wild carrot has appeared!” - definitely the most random thing I’ve heard in a while 😂 could imagine that being a line in a school play or something 😂
That peanut hack 100% needed some sweetness or even brown sugar to be decent cookies.
what would make it rise in the tortilla
have her buy tooth work tools and challenge you to use them to cook something
I think adding some onion and garlic powders, and a little cumin would have helped that oat tortilla.
Even after all these years, you two remain such a cute/wholesome couple ^^
I love a good Mrs B centered video!
I’ve got to say, most spouses do not make the videos better. Mrs B is definitely an exception to this she is delightful. 👍
maybe we need a barry and mrs. b collab with ordinary sausage and mrs. sausage
Love a Mrs B hack, she is so trusting and always wants them to work. ❤
Those cookies were awful though lol

The porridge thing is just an oatcake like the Staffordshire delicacy. Quite common in those parts

It's a culinary adventure!
Oatcakes do usually have some wheat flour in too iirc, to make them more pliable
I love the chemistry with you and Mrs B, it's like you should be married or something lol
We make the cookie hack often. We use 1cup peanut butter, 1 egg and 1 cup sugar and my hub is obsessed!

@ possibly, but here in the USA they use it because of peanut allergies. You can find all kinds of nut butters.

Ooooohhhh I really like the cheese grater hack!! And the thermometer hack is pretty good too.
so the christmas treeeeat is just a poop emoji on a biscuit?
To be fair, they all looked like poop except the last one.
@@dianacfleming but there's a difference between poop and poop emoji :D
The idea of a box cheese grater is to work with gravity
The peanut butter "Cookies" needed at least one more egg for moisture and sugar for taste. But to Mrs. B's point - that's just making peanut butter cookies properly.
Everytime you were using that spatula with the cookie dough i was just going "PERRY THE SPATULA"
The peanut butter cookies needed sugar
Yes!
Marzipan is a paste made by combining almond butter and icing sugar, so using a tub of marzipan would incorporate the sugar required for cookies.
Peanut butter cookies: 1 cup PB, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg. 450 F for 10 mins.
Mrs. B was so proud when the thermometer hack worked :D
Always a good vid when Mrs B appears
Mrs. B's face when she takes a bite of the cookie - priceless :)
That cheese grater one is actually really good, I like those simple ones
Marcipan (almonds paste) , egg and sucker makes "Kransekage" (in Denmark). It's especially served as a sweet cake on New Year's Eve 🎉
Massive thanks to Mrs B! I now have a gift I can make that's low cost and that I know my gift recievers will enjoy to add to a homemade hamper (Christmas tree biscuits)
Scented wallpaper paste... I love the tangents Mrs B's mind wanders to. ❤️ 😂
"That tastes like a dirty beach" 😂😂
mrs b bringing the heat with these hacks
You can use the handle as a handle?
Nothing more appetizing when somebody says it looks like a scab to make you want to have a bite
Love Mrs. B

You should bang the jar from underneath, if you bang at the top it makes it go back up! xx

I use a grill, to grill a sandwich, If you use a frying pan it's a fried sandwich.
@@dogwalker666 I used to think the same thing, until I realised that in the states they'd call that a broiled sandwich.

I have a whole wad of binder clips that I use in the kitchen for all kinds of tasks. They are so useful.
1:40 took a while for my brain to go from turds to trees

Pretty sure Mrs B is confusing Almond Paste for Almond Butter. Almond paste is the stuff they use in almond croissants and peshwari naan bread.
The UK doesnt have almonds, processed almonds or almond alternative peanut butter?
Batman? That tree looks like Australia, mate! 😂
Great to see Mrs B ! When do you take your annual break Barry?

The slip clip feels like an idea waiting to be patented and created
Marzipan paste and nut butter are two wildly different things!
I feel like that porridge tortilla is basically an oatcake. Definitely needs a little more seasoning, or at least something to go with it.
Almond butter is made like peanut butter. Almond paste is marzipan. Completely different .
A few bad kitchen hacks.
And a grate one.
I'll see myself out now. >.>
For the pb cookie hack add sugar
Love Mrs B. Unsure about the peanut butter. Doesn't look good.

you could even use different cheeses for the pretzels.
