Would you swap the milk in your pancakes for blood? In parts of Northern Sweden, Norway and Finland, nomadic reindeer herders regularly make ‘blodplätter’ from reindeer blood! When the Sami people butcher a deer, they make use of every part of the animal, and blood is mixed with eggs, flour and salt to make a unique, deep red pancake batter.
Intrigued, Beryl Shereshewsky set about creating this traditional delicacy in her New York kitchen, but how did she fare?

Blodplättar Recipe:
Ingredients
– 2 cups blood (Beryl used pork)
– 1 cup water
– 2 eggs
– Pinch of salt
– Butter for frying
– Cooked bacon, lingonberry jam, and syrup for serving
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk to combine the first four ingredients into a smooth, slightly runny batter. In a frying pan on medium-high heat, let a small piece of butter melt in the pan before adding a thin layer of batter. Cook until bubbles show on top, then flip and cook briefly on the other side. They cook quickly, so be careful not to burn them. Adjust heat as necessary. You want them bubbly and puffy, which requires a fairly hot pan. Serve right away with bacon, lingonberry jam, and syrup.

As a Chinese-American, I actually really like pork blood. Also glad that Beryl is back!!
It is great to see Beryl back again ❤
in Germany we've "Grützwurst" or often called "Tote Oma" (dead grandma). I love it, but many don't like it as soon they're aware its from blood.
Berylllll!!!!!! So lovely to see you back at GBS!!!❤❤❤❤❤
OMG i miss this channel so much
Beryl is back! 😀
Would this be kosher if it was reindeer ? I know it's not halal
Now we need the guy who built that cabin right before he's laid off
Sorry, not trying to kill the vibe here, but… I was working hard to suppress gag reflex all along this video.
as a Hungarian who's family comes from the Carpathian Mountains, we usually just bite people and suck it out ????♀
In Italy, besides the blood sausage, there is a dessert made of pig blood mixed with chocolate and other ingredients. Since you have leftover pig blood… It's called sanguinaccio!
Blodpudding och apelsinjuice FTW
I wonder if you can make pancakes out of human blood? It might taste delicious!
???? With Beryl Back ON the Great Big Story truly feels Back NOW ???? Thanks to GBS for introducing us all to Beryl! Y'all better go give her a follow❤
This made my day!! So glad to see Beryl and GBS!
Also, Viet Nam has several blood dishes including tiet canh (a raw duck or pork blood soup), pork blood cubes (common in bun bo hue, the spicy beef noodle soup), and doi huyet (blood sausages). Lots of different preparations!
I commented before even watching the video heh
???? um maybe they would be good if they actually had sugar and wasnt so thin????
omg its beryl !!
In Taiwan we have this thing called 豬血糕(zhū xiě guǒ;) it's a mixture of rice and pork blood, you can find it in hot pot, or deep-fried it's supper common and I love it growing as part of my after school snacks from the carts selling at the side of street on the way home.
Oh man, that town in Sweden is absolutely beautiful. Must be even more beautiful in winter.
I just adore Beryl! She’s such a sweetheart. Great video ????
Yay GBS IS BACK
my religious belief straight up banned eating (or if you're brave enough, drinking) blood so yeah, I might have to sit this one out
