Keywords

💡Cocina Para Todos

Cocina Para Todos is the name of Mery's cooking show or channel, which implies a space where everyone can learn to cook. It is central to the video's theme as it represents the brand and the community Mery is building around her cooking tutorials. The name is mentioned at the beginning of the script, setting the stage for the viewer's expectations of what the video will be about.

💡Mediterranean Cruise

A Mediterranean Cruise refers to a vacation where one travels on a cruise ship around the Mediterranean Sea, visiting various coastal cities and enjoying the amenities on board. In the script, Mery mentions her experience on such a cruise, which is relevant because it sets the context for her desire to make American pancakes, which she missed during her trip.

💡American Pancakes

American Pancakes are a type of breakfast food that is fluffy and typically served with sweet toppings like syrup, jam, or fruit. They are the main focus of the video, as Mery is motivated to make them after noticing their absence on the cruise ship's buffet. The script repeatedly refers to American pancakes as the central subject of the tutorial.

💡Buffet

A buffet is a style of meal service where diners serve themselves from a variety of dishes that are set out on a table. In the script, Mery talks about the cruise ship's buffets, which offer a wide range of food options but notably lack American pancakes, sparking her interest in making them.

💡Ingredients

Ingredients are the items used in cooking to create a dish. In the script, Mery lists the ingredients needed to make American pancakes, such as eggs, sugar, oil, milk, salt, wheat flour, baking powder, and optional vanilla essence. These ingredients are essential to the video's educational purpose, as they guide viewers on what to gather before starting the recipe.

💡Hand Blender

A hand blender, also known as an immersion blender, is a kitchen tool used for mixing or blending ingredients. Mery mentions using a hand blender to mix all the ingredients for the pancake batter, illustrating a common method for achieving a smooth and consistent texture in cooking.

💡Texture

Texture in cooking refers to the feel and appearance of a food's surface or insides. Mery describes the desired texture of the pancake batter as being between a liquid and thick dough, which is crucial for the pancakes to turn out correctly. The term is used to guide viewers on the consistency they should aim for.

💡Resting

Resting is a process in cooking where a mixture is left to sit for a period, allowing ingredients to combine or react. Mery instructs viewers to let the pancake batter rest for 10 minutes, which is an important step for the chemical yeast or baking powder to activate and create a light, fluffy texture in the pancakes.

💡Cooking Technique

Cooking technique refers to the methods used to prepare food. In the script, Mery demonstrates the technique of making pancakes, including heating the pan, pouring the batter, waiting for bubbles to form as a sign of browning, and flipping the pancake to cook both sides. These techniques are fundamental to the video's instructional content.

💡Toppings

Toppings are additional ingredients that are placed on top of a food to enhance its flavor or presentation. Mery suggests various toppings for the pancakes, such as agave syrup, jam, chocolate, Nutella, and cream, offering viewers options to customize their pancakes according to personal taste.

💡Engagement

Engagement in the context of social media refers to the interaction between content creators and their audience. Mery encourages viewers to like, subscribe, and comment on the video with recipe suggestions, which is a way to foster community and receive feedback.

Hello! I'm Mery, welcome to Cocina Para Todos

play00:02

If you follow me on Instagram, @cocinaparatodos, you may have seen that last week I was on a cruise around the Mediterranean

play00:08

And with so much change in temperature, because in the end I ended up with a bit of a cold and with a dodgy voice

play00:12

But well, do not worry that this will be solved immediately.

play00:16

And well, what I was going for, that in all the buffets on the cruise, there were no American pancakes.

play00:21

There were bacon, there were fried eggs, there were sausages... Everything except

play00:24

American pancakes

play00:26

. So, I wanted to prepare them when I got back

play00:29

. to do them all together!

play00:30

play00:33

1 egg

2 tablespoons of sugar

play00:36

play00:43

A pinch of salt

play00:44

1 cup or 130 g of wheat flour

play00:47

1/2 tablespoon of chemical yeast or baking powder

play00:50

And optional, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence

play00:53

Now with the help of a hand blender or blender glass, mix everything well

play00:59

With this texture it should be

play01:01

A midpoint between a liquid and thick dough

play01:04

And now I'm going to let it rest for 10 minutes

play01:06

The The pan is already hot, so I'm going to put a little bit of batter in the center.

play01:11

We make it round

play01:14

and I'm going to wait until it's browned on one side

play01:17

. When little bubbles start coming out of this surface, it means that the pancake is already browning

play01:21

. I'm going to check that it doesn't burn with the help of a spatula

play01:24

And since it's already golden I'm going to turn it over

play01:27

And I'm going to let it cook on this side as well

play01:30

It's ready on both sides, so take it out

play01:33

And I'll continue making pancakes, with the plate over medium heat, without the need to add more oil to the pan

play01:39

In total, seven pancakes have turned out and look how beautiful they turned out.

play01:42

I am going to complement them, in my case with a little agave syrup

play01:46

Although you can do it with whatever you like best:

play01:48

Jam, chocolate, nutella, cream, come on... Whatever you want

play01:53
