Breakfast
Dollar Lyrics

Breakfast in Barcelona
Was a little bit hard to find
But in time that little mystery was revealed

Yes I'm From California
And a little bit hard to please
But I surrender to the magic every meal

Every place I go. . . whoa whoa . . . I wonder
Could this be my home?

Right now I don’t know . . .
Only thing for sure -
That it’s all in front of me
That it’s all in front of me

Last night in Barcelona
I woke to sound of rain
Heard the thunder of another distant change

I'm far from California
Feel my roots coming out of the ground
Like a tree that falls
When the soil is washed away

Every where I go. . . whoa whoa . . . I wonder
Could this be my home?
Right now I don’t know . . .
Only thing for sure
That it’s all in front of me
That it’s all in front of me

Taking my time – I’m taking forever
Looking for answers on the open road
Looking for signs - Looking at menus
Asking directions - To take me home
Take me home

Every place I go. . . whoa whoa . . . I wonder
Could this be my home?
Right now I don’t know
Only thing for sure

Every place I go. . . whoa whoa . . . I wonder
Could this be my home?
Right now I don’t know
Only thing for sure

That its all in front of me
That its all in front of me

I’m back in California
Dreaming of Barcelona

Ice cream in Barcelona
Dancing in Barcelona

Midnight in Barcelona
Seeing the sunrise in Barcelona

But I’m back in California
Dreaming of Barcelona

OK, Josh. For years I have used a recipe for pancakes that is far more complicated than what you did in this video.

It involved vinegar in the milk (to make butter milk), vanilla, and baking soda.

I made yours today with absolutely no variation.

Holy. Crap. These. Are. Amazing.

I had my doubts, and I’m going to try variations between my old recipe and this one, but I was shocked at how delicious these were...and far easier to make.

Hat’s off to you, my dude.

It just hurts my heart that you even had to do this Episode, Josh!

I find that the bacon is necessary! You cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and fry them in the bacon grease. I do it in a wok which takes about 15 minutes. Keep shaking them around until they whistle.

I tried making it for the first time for my Mother on Mother's day. The potatoes went very well, she loved it. The Sausage was way too salty though, my pancakes were thick and really hard to cook, but tasted good, and it was impossible for me to cook the eggs the way Joshua did them. Still since it was my first time, it was at least edible.

For your roast potatoes, I'd preheat the oil in the oven and add the potatoes to the fat when it's hot, that way they absorb less oil and go cwispier. If you want to be really extra about it you can also fridge your potatoes after par-boiling for about 20-40 minutes so they're drier when you add them to the oil. All this faffing about gives you more crunch with fluffy boi insides.

In the UK, pancakes are just a snack, but part of any breakfast. I fixed pancakes for the first time for my partner, who was a bit flabbergasted at getting them for breakfast. He still ate them and thought they were tasty. I did make them myself, and I was even able to fins buttermilk, which I also discovered was difficult to find in the UK.

“If you’re trying to lose belly fat, STOP doing cardio. This sounds ba-“ *skip*

Bryan Galaviz

If you're trying to lose fat overall, and eventually belly fat (because you can't choose where to lose fat). Focus on nutrition more than exercise. That doesn't mean exercise doesn't help, because it does. But the type of exercise isn't as important as long as you do one and eat well which is the most important thing. That just to stay healthy and in shape. But if you wanna build muscle then yeah, lifts.

A little surprised you didn't use BUTTERMILK for the pancakes! I only make them using buttermilk but it looks amazing

TechBearSeattle

The way I learned pancakes is that they are ready to flip when the edges are looking dry, and bubbles in the middle are popping but not immediately filling in. If the pan is at the right temperature (medium-high), the bottom will be a nice golden brown. You want to avoid checking, as this will disturb the bubbles forming in the pancake, resulting in something that is less fluffy.

Tim Owens

A nice touch is to have the hotcakes on a separate plate and use softened butter AND heated maple syrup!

Yasmine Padilla

Oh yeah my favorite as a member of a huge family we cooked big breakfasts and smaller meanls for the rest of the day. But started by fueling all our bodies with energy! My favorite breakfast! Everyone just grabs from the homade buffet and puts it on the plate and the best part we didn't break the bank to feed everyone 😂👍🏻.

SWGEZTarget

Also, also - love your But Better and Cheaper series. As a suggestion - maybe cover the way we store the bulk - the series focuses on prep (technique) and serve - but falls short on the planning and storage component. Not sure if you want to go down that rabbit hole but it would be good content (not too much work) and it will "close the loop" on how we get from convenience ($$$$) to reducing cost with better food.

PlasmaWisp100

So, of all the things you’ve shown us how to make, what thing do you enjoy so much, that you actually make it and eat it normally (and not for a video)? I believe the video where we got to see what you ate in a day gave us a little glimpse in your usual routine, but I was wondering if there’s any particular dish that you might come back from a day of editing and be like “Ya know what, I’m having an American Breakfast for dinner”.

Leo Boulevardier

This looks so g dang delicious! My only problem is I wish Josh still included the total used to purchase all the items. Because although that 2$ average per person is cheap, knowing the overall cost puts it into perspective for someone like me who loves budgeting.

@Boople Snoot that is not right. Eggs alone would cost like 2-3 dollars

Just multiply the $ amount by the amount of servings. In this case, it's $1.76 times 4 servings, which is $7.04. (Still cheap! :D )

Lauren Hickey

I love roast potatoes but I have never had them with breakfast but hey I'm irish, our breakfast is sausages, bacon, beans, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, fried tomatoes and black pudding with hash browns.
And just to FYI this in case people think this is what we eat every day or something this is our traditional fry up, it is usually called something like the full Irish or the full Irish breakfast. The english fry up is really similar, almost identical but they call it the english breakfast.

Code King

I tried a little splash of vanilla extract in the pancakes too and they were phenomenal thanks for this everything was delicious!!!

Brandon Howard

Word of advice: the mushier your potatoes get, the cwispier they are! :D its the same technique as why we twice fry fries, once to cook them to almost completion, then again to cwisp them up. The more cooked the potatoes are, the fluffier their interior and exterior will be, meaning the exterior will get beat up scraggly surfaces that allow for even more browning
This knowledge is brought to you by Great Britain, where the only thing we can do right is roast potatoes:D

@Oliver Marr but the whole point is that you’re not making this for yourself most likely you’d be making more than a singular portion. You’d also probably be using a lot of these ingredients in other dishes that he’s brought up in this channel,so it makes it worthwhile to have the entire jug or amount to use in various recipes rather than,well. . . A single use amount,if that makes sense.

I prefer Whole Wheat toast over pancakes, and I toss raw diced potatoes into hot Cast Iron Skillet with Butter, same with eggs, and yes, I prefer my eggs over-easy 😋. Always use a well seasoned CI Skillet!

Danner Naff

I always make my breakfast potatoes with an air fryer. Use the same Yukon Golds, set them in a bowl and fill it with water and season with salt generously. Let that sit for about 15-30 min and let the potatoes soak up the salted water. Drain potatoes and dry them thoroughly. Place into a bowl again and lightly coat with oil. Place seasonings of choice on potatoes and mix well. Set air fryer to 400F and preheat for about 3-5 min. Dump the potatoes in and fry for 10-15 min. About half way through the cooking process shake the basket well to ensure every potato piece is exposed to the hot air.

Best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had. Give it a shot.

Blackout Gaming

I'd love to see your take on the full English but cheaper.

rooster700rr

While this cost less money. I think you might be applying too much discount for time. (time is money) I would be really curious to see a comparison between the time it takes to go get an All American breakfast in restaurant vs time it would take to make this at home. Some prep the night before would be acceptable but include stats for what was prepped and time needed.

Most of the stuff that takes time can be prepped the night before.
The meat and pancake batter can be prepared ahead of time, kept in the fridge for a couple days and taken out each morning to be fried up.
Eggs take like 2 minutes to cook either way.
If time matters you can boil the potatoes ahead of time as well, then you just have to bang them in the oven while you have a shower or what have you.

I’ve started picking up cooking recently and I started out really bad, but my quality is improving every week I notice...thing is is that I can’t figure out how to keep things warm. Let’s say I make this...the potatoes are cold and sausage is cold by the time the whole plate is made. I tried making things all at once so that they are all hot and fresh ..but it’s impossible to do everything at once for 80 percent of the meals I’ve made.

Uhhh, was that corn syrup? I know you like things thiccc but let's not apply that to syrup lol. Great video, as always. Definitely going to make this a Sunday breakfast thing, so thank you for making this. For my homemade pancakes I use butter instead of oil and dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I also separate my egg yolks and beat the whites until they've made stiff peaks then fold the whites into the batter.

Jambi

@ghostlyexe Wow, this was so long ago I had to surf through the video. When he poured the syrup at the end, it was thiccc. Maple syrup is less viscous than corn syrup (Aunt Jemima, Log Cabin, Mrs. Butterwoth, etc.). So I posed the question regarding whether I saw corn syrup since it was pretty viscous. It just looked like he poured corn syrup instead of maple syrup on his pancakes.

Labor is part of it, but far from that significant. In most restaurants food cost is around 25% to 35% and labor is around 15% to 20%. Building, equipment and lot maintenance services, building lease, utilities, paper goods, cleaning chemicals, et al make up the bulk of it.

I noticed you switched from metric to imperial units for this American breakfast episode. Nice way of keeping with the theme.

I better not see Joshua at any restaurant “for fun” or to “hang out with friends” or to “have lunch”

Josh putting restaurants out slowly LOL. But also cheers for teaching us how so we can $ave!

Could you do a series on cooking/ shopping for one?

Thank you, TJ, for doing the math, and thank you, Josh, for keeping it moist.

Tip: An easy way to boil potatoes without making them mash potatoes is using 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 4 cups of water, the acidity of the vinegar helps the potatoes hold their shape

You forgot grits! But I guess you’d just by the instant grits. Can’t really fathom how they’d be complex enough for you to make them better and or cheaper

The clean up though...and trying to get it all on the plate warm at the same time....it’s why I would pay to have it all done for me. Damn this looks so good though. 🤤

Pancake tips!: Look for the bubbles on top to stop popping to know when to flip.

And also if you batter is too thick, the pancake will be too tall and won't cook in the middle, so add milk to your batter till it doesn't do this and they will be perfect!

My wife and I used to compete over who could make the thickest pancakes that were still perfectly cooked. Things. Got. Crazy.

Josh: le oeuf

@Joseph Daoud well, I myself as an American barely know English, and I knew it was wrong. we aren't great at language in general, but l'oeuf is a pretty low bar.

Joshua has such gweat series (but cheaper, but better), he loves memes and his recipes had never failed (I've tried 5 or more).
He's the best

Josh: This only costs $1.69 to make!

Also Josh: Ignores $20 remaining ingredients not used to make that $1.69 plate.

The price-per-plate definitely works if you have a family you're trying to feed while keeping costs down. But for the rest of us, we'll make the dish once or twice, forget to freeze stuff, and the rest will go to waste, turning "But Cheaper" into "But Wasted." Honestly, I'd love to see this series make multiple dishes that have overlap in the ingredients to show how you can get the most out of ingredients and spices already in your pantry. "$15 for three AMAZING dinners for two!!" 2020 turned us into home cooks, 2021 should turn us into home meal planning masters.
