Masala Chai American Pancakes
Masala chai-flavoured American fluffy pancakes with miso-glazed bacon, whipped avocado, pistachio praline and a pistachio custard.
Rosdip: "American fluffy pancakes with masala chai flavour into the batter with some crispy bacon, and then custard with a bit of pistachio flavour. But it's a work in progress."
Anna: "Have you made fluffy American pancakes before?" Rosdip: "I actually haven't before. I've eaten a few, but no, I haven't."
Grace: "Of all the cooks, Rosdip seems the most uncertain of what his actual end game is. A good American pancake needs to be thick. It needs to have a smooth brown edge, but the insides need to be fluffy."
Anna: "This dish as a whole doesn't go together. The pistachio, the sour avocado, the very salty, strong bacon — they're all really big flavours, but when I eat it together, they're fighting in my mouth. I absolutely can taste the chai masala, but by putting that wet liquid in, it has removed all of the natural air in your pancakes. They are literally flat as a pancake."
Grace: "I think your bacon's great. It's glossy miso bacon. What is not to love? However, there isn't anything fluffy about the pancakes. The custard, although a lovely idea, there's very little pistachio. The brittle is adding a huge, crunchy, overpowering sweetness. This dish feels like a prototype and things have gone wrong."
