13:08
we're back here in the kitchen i'm
13:10
having such a good time with my buddy
13:11
today y'all this is susan green she and
13:14
i've been friends for years she's from
13:17
albini she is the hostess with the
13:19
mostest well the next dish that we're
13:22
gonna do susan is a delicious ricotta
13:25
infused pancake with thyme syrup that's
13:28
a mouthful y'all but it's really so easy
13:31
to do i'm gonna ask you
13:34
to separate these three eggs because
13:36
we're gonna need the yolks and the
13:38
whites while you're doing that i'm gonna
13:40
put together a syrup and that is two
13:43
cups of water
13:45
one cup of sugar
13:47
about 20 stems of fresh thyme stems and
13:51
all we're going to let this come to a
13:53
ball
13:54
and what i'm going to do to this y'all
13:58
to make it thick is i'm just going to
14:00
tighten it with cornstarch
14:04
i'm gonna take about a tablespoon and a
14:06
half of cornstarch and i'm gonna mix it
14:09
with a little water do you know the
14:10
other day i whipped cream uh-huh and put
14:13
that cornstarch in it like and i mean it
14:15
stayed forever did it it did not
14:17
separate you are kidding
14:20
because whipping cream won't last very
14:22
long for you all right now i'm just
14:24
gonna mix this up and when you're using
14:27
cornstarch you know you want to use not
14:29
warm water but cold water and this is
14:32
just gonna tighten up our syrup and make
14:35
it thick and
14:37
hot and delicious
14:39
we're gonna let this come to a boil and
14:42
then we're gonna add our cornstarch all
14:45
right well come on down here we're gonna
14:46
put our pancake part together you can
14:48
just toss your egg whites in that blue
14:50
bowl susan
14:52
and we're gonna beat those until they're
14:54
stiff peaks and in my bowl i'm gonna put
14:58
in two cups of all-purpose flour
15:01
doesn't this sound delicious yes i'm
15:04
gonna add a teaspoon and a half of
15:07
baking powder are you boiling over there
15:10
yeah we're starting to ball so i'm gonna
15:12
come down here and i'm gonna add our
15:15
cornstarch mixture
15:20
thyme infused syrup
15:22

15:29
egg whites
15:30
perfect so in this one we're gonna mix
15:33
up our wet ingredients
15:35
and you're gonna need a cup and a half
15:37
of ricotta cheese
15:41

15:44
probably gonna take about this whole
15:45
