Hello and welcome to Baking Bad with Jessie and Claud.
The series in which I, Jessica, a girl who loves to bake,
attempt to convince my wife, that it's actually fun.
- [Claud] I mean, maybe the baby
- [Jessie] (chuckles)
- [Claud] will be on board.
I mean, at the moment
- [Jessie] Yeah you're gonna love baking.
We're gonna bake together all the time.
- [Claud] I like eating.
- [Jessie] You do like eating.
She's enjoying a lot of eating at the moment.
- [Claud] Although, a lot of the things we bake
or only just edible.
(laughs)
- [Jessie] (laughs loudly)
Yeah. To be fair, this isn't a show
about us being great at baking.
It's a show about us
enjoying the process.
- [Claud] But I am really looking forward to
this particular baking,
- [Jessie] Yes!
- [Claud] because we're making a Pear Cobbler,
- [Jessie] Ooh!
- [Claud] and we don't really eat Cobblers in England.
- [Jessie] I don't think I've ever had one.
- [Claud] I don't think I've had one.
I was, like, "Jesse, What's a Cobbler?"
We'd be watching How To Get Away With Murder,
on Netflix.
We kinda got quite into it.
- [Jessie] We're quite obsessed.
It's the only thing we watch.
(both laugh)
- [Claud] The main character makes people Cobblers,
quite frequently
- [Jessie] Yeah.
- [Claud] and whenever she does, I'm like, that looks good.
- [Jessie] Mmm. She made that Cobbler. Mmm
- [Claud] I want to bake me a Cobbler
- [Jessie] Mmm
- [Claud] Yeah and I thought, "What is a Cobbler?"
and I looked it up and it's basically like
an American version of a Crumble.
- [Jessie] I really feel like it's something
my Grandmother made
and I've, just like, got it in the back of my mind.
- [Claud] Yeah.
- [Jessie] My Grandmother is American,
so I think we're going to make this
I'm going to eat it and be like,
Nana!
- [Claud] Ah, that'd be nice. I think I'm gonna,
- [Jessie] I think I'm going to pass it to the baby.
- [Claud] Yeah. I think I'm going to eat it and be like,
Oh baby!
- [Jessie] Yes!
- [Claud] Food, baby!
- [Jessie] Well-fed. Yeah, we'll pretend
this is a food baby.
- [Claud] Ooh. Yes!
- [Jessie] It's not a food baby.
- [Claud] This is a 25 week, actual baby
- [Jessie] 25 weeks today!
This is. I'm your background.
- [Claud] Oh, right. - [Jessie] Because I'm white.
I see. I see. Right, yes! Ta da!
- [Jessie] Aah!
- [Claud] All right, so you're gonna tell me what to do.
I'll be your sous chef.
- [Jessie] Oh Okay. Well, first of all,
we need three to four cups
of sliced, fresh pears.
- [Claud] Okay.
- [Jessie] Because this is an American recipe
and it's in cups.
- [Claud] What is a cup of pear?
- [Jessie] (sighs) I wish I knew
- [Claud] We've got four
and how big a slice are they meant to be?
- [Jessie] Uh..?
- [Claud] Are they meant to be like,
a sort of Tarte Tatin slice or more of a chunk?
- [Jessie] I'm going to guess by slicing,
it doesn't mean like squares.
- [Claud] No, that would be a
- [Jessie] Chunk?
- [Claud] like "cubial" pear
- [Jessie] Yes. Yes.
It doesn't say "cubial" pear.
So I'm going to ask for some slices.
- [Claud] (laughing) Okay.
- [Jessie] and whilst you're doing that,
I am going to weigh out some various things.
- [Claud] One and a half cups of sugar,
but obviously being sugar-free,
Jessica will be using,
- [Jessie] Sucralose!
- [Claud] Sucralose.
Not doing, what we did one time
where you made me weigh out the same amount
- [Jessie] (laughs)
that would be in actual sugar,
because Sucralose is very light
and I ended up basically using a whole pot
- [Jessie] (giggles)
- [Claud] and it was like, so like,
(sloshes)
I can't remember what it was that we made,
- [Jessie] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Claud] but it was like, it was not good.
- [Jessie] Basically, with artificial sugar,
just knock the zero off the end,
if you're weighing it,
- [Claud] Ah!
- [Jessie] because you, it's to do visually.
These Americans again!
- [Claud] So again,
- [Jessie] With their cups!
- [Claud] one and a half cups?
- [Jessie] They do it by cups.
Well it's the same.
- [Claud] So if it's one and a half cups,
what would it be?
- [Jessie] We'll actually be using my cups.
It would be one and a half cups.
- [Claud] Will it? Wait.
- [Jessie] Visually it's the same.
- [Claud] Oh, right!
- [Jessie] Visually.
- [Claud] Moving on.
- [Jessie] One and a half cups.
Thank you, by the way, for the cups
that were sent to the PO Box.
- [Claud] And then you need one stick,
because in America you can buy sticks of butter,
- [Jessie] Yes! Which is ...
- [Claud] But here, we can only buy them in rectangular.
like,
- [Jessie] (laughs)
- [Claud] what's a, this is very mathematically bad,
- [Jessie] (laughs loudly)
what's a 3D rectangle called?
- [Jessie] A Rhomboid.
- [Claud] Is it?
- [Jessie] Okay. I'll be honest with you.
I was really, really good at maths, in school,
right up until they brought words into it.
- [Claud] Like other people's random maths words?
I mean, I don't even know
- [Jessie] And my, just like, brain, was like,
"This is not the correct word for that".
I would like another word
and I'm like, no brain.
Shhh. We're trying to do maths now.
- [Claud] Although I don't know a lot of words.
- [Jessie] No...
(both laughing)
- This is an issue.
Currently, how our world works,
is that I tend to dictate things
and Claudia writes them down.
I can't do the writing of things
and Claudia doesn't know the words.
So.
Somehow, we communicate with each other incredibly well.
Ooh. Pear!
- [Claud] That's that. I've done my part
and you've done your part.
- [Jessie] Mm hmm.
- [Claud] Next part.
One stick of butter.
- [Jessie] I think we mix these together.
- [Claud] Gather the ingredients.
- [Jessie] Look there. Look at her picture.
- [Claud] See, why did you not do that?
I said prepare the working area.
Gather the ingredients.
You're not like Betty Crocker at all,
or Mary Berry.
- [Jessie] I never claimed to be Betty Crocker!
You're so mean to me.
- [Claud] But people always have these nice cups,
you know, like..
- [Jessie] Hey, I have seen you recently,
watching Nigella.
- [Claud] Look. Why do we have all these bowls?
If not, to like, be like, out of butter,
- [Jessie] (laughs)
- [Claud] 50 grams of sugar
- [Jessie] That's true!
- [Claud] and have it laid out in advance.
- [Jessie] (mumbles under her breath)
- [Claud] This is the problem with Baking Bad.
Every single time we do this.
That's why I get so frustrated and annoyed
because nothing is out ready
and then she's like, "Let's film and bake!"
and I'm like, "Where are the ingredients?"
She's like, "In the drawers. In the cupboards."
- [Jessie] (giggles)
- [Claud] I'm like, "Well, this is really unprepared"
- [Jessie] What is a 2-quart baking dish?
(cricket chirping)
- [Claud] I dunno.
(both laughing)
- [Jessie] This recipe is confusing.
- [Claud] Are you sure that's the sugar?
That's a lotta sugar, darling.
- [Jessie] That's what it said,
- [Claud] The pears are already sweet.
- [Jessie] But that's what it said.
- [Claud] Okay.
- [Jessie] (laughs)
(bluesy jazz piano music)
- [Claud] That looks like the size that
Annalise serves people her Cobblers in.
- [Jessie] (laughs)
- [Claud] So, we're gonna go on that basis.
This is 250 grams, which is eight ounces,
so it needs to be half of this.
- [Jessie] (Beep)
You already took some out and then you
measured it.
- [Claud] Oh Yeah.
- [Jessie] (laughs)
- [Claud] Okay.
(laughs loudly)
Well, I took a course but it didn't work out.
It's a maths problem.
Yes.
- [Jessie] So you just need to take,
(chuckles)
another...just the same again
- [Claud] Another 50 grams,
which is what I was going to do.
- [Jessie] Excellent!
Place this in the oven until melted.
Mix the pears with half a cup of the sugar.
- [Claud] Oh yeah.
No wonder I thought
- [Jessie] (laughs hysterically)
- [Claud] There's just so much in there.
You told me to put it all in.
Okay. Well we're not adding any sugar to the top!
- [Jessie] (laughing)
- [Jessie] I mean, I guess that means that
- [Claud] How has it gone so bad already?
- [Jessie] we can just take the pears
and put them in there
- [Claud] Why?
- [Jessie] and then we'll mix everything else
in here
- [Claud] What do you think it's got a sugary base?
- [Jessie] and then there'll be a ...
(laughing)
- [Claud] It doesn't matter because it all goes
into the same pie hole.
- [Jessie] (giggles)
- [Claud] So it just has to have an overall sweet effect.
- [Jessie] I mean, yeah, sure. It all goes into your mouth.
- [Claud] Or the top will taste ....
- [Jessie] (laughing)
- [Claud] the top bit will be like...ooh,
this is a savory dish and then it will be like...
- [Jessie] Sour!
(laughs loudly)
- [Claud] Ooh. So sweet!
(both laughing)
- [Claud] inside!
It's a metaphor for when you first meet Claudia
and then when you get to know her.
All right.
I've done your weird idea and
- [Jessie] (laughs)
Thanks, and now there's like sugar in it.
That's fine!
- [Claud] All right. I just do what I'm told.
- [Jessie] Okay.
(laughing)
Flour, baking power, cinnamon and salt.
- [Claud] Three quarters of a cup.
- [Jessie] Yeah. So do half, and then do a quarter.
- [Claud] Yeah, I know. Well, I don't
(laughs)
- [Jessie] Would you at any point,
like to admit that you need help?
- [Claud] No.
- [Jessie] Oh.
(drum cymbal beat)
(laughs)
- [Claud] It's okay.
(upbeat cheerful piano music)
- [Jessie] and then, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon,
- [Claud] Combine the remaining sugar,
flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Yeah. No milk.
(chuckles)
Not at this point.
(Jessie laughs loud)
- [Claud] Mix well.
Then it says whisk together, the milk an egg
in a separate small mixing bowl.
- [Jessie] Yeah.
(Jessie singing)
♪ Everything about this is the mixing. ♪
- [Jessie] Oh, Lord! Yes!
Pop it here.
- [Claud] I'm whisking egg and milk together.
- [Jessie] Whisk together, the milk and egg
in a separate small mixing bowl.
(upbeat cheerful piano music)
- [Claud] Try, maybe.
(upbeat cheerful piano music)
(beater whirring softly)
(beater whirring loudly)
- [Jessie] (shouting) Pour the batter,
(softer)
over the melted butter.
- [Claud] Whoa.
- [Jessie] But don't stir!
- [Claud] I'm pouring.
- [Jessie] (giggles)
- [Claud] How can I pour and stir?
- [Jessie] Spoon the sliced pears over the batter.
Do not stir!
- [Claud] Sometimes I get so bored of my own voice.
(Jessie laughs)
I just stop mid-sentence. Don't I?
(Jessie laughing)
- [Claud] Yeah. I just kinda trail off.
- [Jessie] You decided that the story is too boring.
- [Claud] Yeah. I'm like,
I worry too much what people are thinking
and I look at their faces
and I think "God, they look bored!"
and I'm like "God, my voice is monotonous"
(Jessie laughing)
and then I just stop talking.
and then what did they think?
What's their take away from that, like,
"It's a bit dull",
(laughs)
because I don't finish my bloody story.
I just like, trail off.
- [Jessie] Oh, we didn't measure the pear.
We didn't put the pear in cups.
- [Claud] It was definitely two cups' worth.
- [Jessie] A lot of cups
- [Claud] Yeah.
- [Jessie] but it was supposed to be about
three to four cups.
- [Claud] and then what, darling? After this?
I'm guessing then we put it in the oven?
- [Jessie] and then you bake it in a preheated oven,
for 50 to 60 minutes.
- [Claud] This is not really like a Crumble.
Unless the way you serve it, is what?
To dish it up and then turn it?
- [Jessie] You, like, turn it upside down.
- [Claud] and then you turn it upside down,
so it's like an upside down tart?
- [Jessie] Pancake
- [Claud] Crumble's like a poor man's Cobbler, in a way.
Isn't it?
(Claud laughs)
- [Jessie] We're already Cobbler fans, so
- [Claud] Well, it smells good!
- [Jessie] after watching a lot of
How To Get Away with Murder, we're kinda Cobbler fans.
- [Claud] This video was sponsored by...
- [Jessie] How To Get Away With Murder!
- [Jessie] But we are sponsored by Surfshark VPN!
(instrumental violin music)
They can't promise to make you Cobbler every night,
but they can promise to keep
your internet connection devices
safe and secure,
by masking your IP address
and keeping your data truly private.
Did you know your internet provider
tracks your web history
and file downloads
and advertisers track your browsing patterns
and search history with cookies

every time you visit?
Worried?
You should be!
But it's okay!
We have Surfshark!
The app and browser extension
that works on laptops, phones, iPads, desktops, iPods
and Amazon fire sticks and smarts TVs!
Yes! It lets you have just one account
on an unlimited number of devices.
By the way, thank you to everyone who reminded me
in the last Surfshark video
that, no you don't get TVs in other colors
because black is meant to make the border invisible
and another color would be more easily seen.
So, I can't have a white TV.
So, maybe I just put the TV in a pale cupboard?
As if safety isn't good enough,
Surfshark also allows you to convince your device
you're in a different country
and thus allows you access
to content that you can't usually see.
Many countries restrict access to various websites
due to internet censorship,
board geo blocking.
You know!
Your favorite show is now available
on your friend's Netflix account,
but not yours
just because they're in the country next door to yours.
No' fair!
Indeed!
Well, a VPN can fix that
by hiding where exactly
in the world you are.
Ha! Like Carmen Santiego,
who probably uses Surfshark VPN
and can watch all of the content she wants.

- [Claud] I think what we've learnt
from How To Get Away With Murder
is, if you have a guilty conscience,
make a Cobbler!
- [Jessie] Ha!
- [Claud] and everyone will learn, never suspect.
Well they say, a way to a man's heart,
I don't know why. Who says that?
- [Jessie] A way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
- [Claud] Yeah. Well yeah.
- [Jessie] I really don't think it's a gender thing.
- [Claud] No, that's...
- [Jessie] I think people just like food, to be honest.
- [Claud] I think it's kinda, that's a very like,
you know, patriarchal statement of..
- [Jessie] Very old fashioned.
- [Claud] Yeah, like, Oh women's...
- [Jessie] Barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen!
- [Claud] Yeah. It's basically like saying, like,
"Oh, you know. If you can cook well,
you'll keep your man happy".
- [Claud] I do all the cooking in this house.
Jessica's not as good as me.
(jazz saxophone music playing)
- [Claud] Well you said that yourself, the other day.
- [Jessie] No, no, she's being completely true.
She's quite right.
She's very good at cooking.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes
until nicely browned and the pears are tender.
(jazz bluesy music playing)
(trumpets playing)
- [Claud] This is what we will now do
for 50 to 60 minutes.
- [Jessie] (laughing)
- [Claud] You know, we could practice our boxing moves.
- [Jessie] Oh yeah.
(laughs out loud)
- [Claud] We did some boxing today.
- [Jessie] We did!
- [Claud] Ja. You. Who Thing!
- [Jessie] Yeah
(laughing)
- [Claud] Jab. Jab. Duck. Duck.
Hey, you meant to duck..
- [Jessie] Okay! Okay!
(jazzy piano organ music)
(Claud laughs)
(smacking)
(laughing)
- [Claud] Okay. Anyway.
Whoa! All right.
(Jessie laughing)
- [Jessie] All right, we're just going to show you
how rubbish I am at this.
- [Claud] Don't do it as hard as you did, in the garden.
(laughing)
We had pads on then.
(smacking)
(jazz upbeat bluesy music)
(laughing)
- [Claud] You're like. Yeah. It's so much fun!
What, no!
- [Jessie] Clock's turning!
- [Claud] Oh. I am so excited about this Cobbler now!
- [Jessie] Ha! Yes!
Cobbler!
(upbeat jazzy piano music)
- [Claud] (singing) Cobbler!
- [Jessie] We made a Cobbler! Whoo!
- [Claud] It actually looks really good!
- [Jessie] I'm very excited to eat this.
- [Claud] It smells nice.
- [Jessie] Very very excited.
- [Claud] and we have ..
- [Jessie] Creme Fraiche.
- [Claud] Creme Fraiche.
I asked for yogurt
(Jessie laughs)
and then the delivery people
sent a massive pot of Creme Fraiche.
- [Jessie] We're in a time of crisis, darling.
- [Claud] I don't think it's a substituted item.
(Jessie chuckles)
- [Claud] Really. It's not an equivalent substitute.
- [Jessie] It's not the same. It's not the same.
No, no, no.
- [Claud] Anyway, but you know,
I've been loving it, all the same.
Or we've got ..
Diabetic Ice Cream
- [Jessie] Pour Moi?
- [Claud] Jessica's favorite thing.
Sometimes lactose disagrees me,
so I've got a lactose free, dairy free
but it's not a sugar free.
- [Jessie] A wholesome dollop!
Should I hold the Cobbler and we'll find out?
(upbeat cheerful jazz music)
- [Claud] Wow!
- [Jessie] Oh yeah!
- [Claud] I like the crispy bits, on the side.
I mean, I don't, I haven't eaten them,
but the sound of them is very
- [Jessie] (laughs out loud)
- [Claud] very appealing.
- [Jessie] Just the idea!
- [Claud] I'm gonna go for Creme Fraiche.
because I'm a rebel,
but also it's quite,
I think this is quite sweet
- [Jessie] Uh huh
- [Claud] and the Creme Fraiche,
I think we'll just give it a little bit
of contrast.
- [Jessie] I'm going for ice cream.
2021! Do what you want!
Whoo hoo!
- [Claud] and that is not, at all,
the motto of the year, darling.
(Jessica laughs loudly)
- [Jessie] Just you wait! Okay!
I get my vaccine tomorrow.
I'm just really excited.
- [Claud] (laughing)
I still think, you know, a vaccine.
You could still be a carrier
- [Jessie] Ugh!
- [Claud] and you're not actually immune, fully,
until you've had the second vaccine,
and, even after the first vaccine,
you've not even got like 50% of the immunity,
- [Jessie] Look. Okay.
- [Claud] for at least three weeks.
- [Jessie] My anxiety, here!
My anxiety after vaccine.
Here!
- [Claud] Yeah.
- [Jessie] So let's just celebrate that,
with some Cobbler and ice cream. Shall we?
(jazzy piano music)
- [Claud] Okay. This is not just any Cobbler.
This is a Jessie and Claude Cobbler.
That is really good!
(children cheering)
- [Jessie] You know what it felt like,
this really does really feel like
it's bringing back childhood memories.
- [Claud] It's like bringing childhood memories
back to me and I don't think I even ate it,
(Jessie laughs)
when I was a child.
- [Jessie] This can be one of our new family recipes.
- [Claud] Mm Hm.
- [Jessie] New treat for you.
