The year was 1985 - Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union, Phil Collins released No Jacket Required, and the Pop-Tart had an utter monopoly on the heat-and-eat breakfast pastry market. Luckily, a man known only as Mr. Wieners created a frozen innovation, the so-called Toaster Strudel: a flakier, fruitier, frostier response to its shelf-stable contemporary. It would go on to partially fund a clique of particularly unkind young women, portrayed in the 2004 biopic “Mean Girls”. Anyway, today we’re making homemade toaster strudels.

He made puff pastry by hand once and really said "never again"
I made it once, in culinary school, and never have again. Even with plenty of room and all the right equipment it is a PITA. Doing it in a what is still a glorified home kitchen? Never.
Well, as he once said, "making your own puff pastry is like making your own kitkat bar. Sure you could, but why would you do that?"
Like 90 percent of people who studied pastry professionally
How about croissants? Would you use store bought pastry or make it as an exception?
Uhhmm ohh
Fun Fact: The slang term "fetch" (short for "fetching") was invented by Tina Fey. She didn't want to use an expression teenagers actually use because she didn't want it to become outdated later.
Stop trying to make “Fetch” happen Tina! It’s never going to happen!
How very.
She was just on Seth Meyers' late night show talking about a Mean Girls reboot, and she mentioned this exactly. They were excited about how even 20 years later the original doesn't feel dated thanks to avoiding current slang of the time.
I love movie trivia, always cool to see people spreading these fun facts even though it's mostly useless 😂
that's rad.
How would the joke work if it was real slang?
BetterHelp only reminds me of when I sought help during one of my lowest points in life.
Havin to click a button that said "I don't need help." Because I couldn't afford it leaves a special ball of hate in my chest. After hearing the controversies afterward, maybe I dodged a bullet.
the exact same thing happened to me, i am so glad people are calling them out now 🥲
Why did you try to when you didn't have money for it?
shut up man@@ChaosArchives667
@@ChaosArchives667Sometimes, when one is desperate, we will look at anything we think will help. Don't need the knife of desperation, shame and hopelessness driven deeper. Guess you haven't been there.
@@camillewing656 that's literally the equivalent of going to an actual therapist office and expect them to help you for free.
I respect getting that bag and all, but once your sponsorship deal with betterhelp ends I think most of us would want you to stand against them like a lot of other content creators have done.
agreed
All mental health is a scam, hth
Talk to your friends and family folks
What happened with Betterhelp?
Right?what happened?
@@brandonjackson7953 "FTC says online counseling service BetterHelp pushed people into handing over health information - and broke its privacy promises"
"But from the FTC’s perspective, a truthful statement would have been “Rest assured - we plan to share your information with major advertising platforms, including Facebook, Snapchat, Criteo, and Pinterest.”
they use health data the way google uses ad data.
Edit: Alongside numerous reports of hiring therapists who are inexperienced, incompetent, or hold therapy sessions with strangers in the room. Essentially they treat therapy like a gig economy job maximizing profits for themselves and providing minimal services for their clients.
Better Help was fined 7.8 million dollars by the FTC for selling sensitive data disclosed by its users. Whatever amount of money they gave you for that plug, it wasn't worth it. Seriously, what were you thinking
Didnt better help got caugth selling patient data to advertisers?
I want to love services like betterhelp, but they also dont warn you when a therapist pulls out of the program so you lose your therapist with no notice
Your data is sold by pretty much every app you use
@@josejh-eb8st Just because everyone does it, doesn't mean its right.
Its not the worst, I sold my data by having email anyway, its the horrible quality of service
I love a therapist who shares my personal hippa protected private info with advertisers kudos on sponsors choice
Like most other creators, he is definitely locked into a contract with them, can't do anything about it for now
Its anonymized bruh. Worst thing that can happen is you help somebody else while generating GDP for your country. loljk
@@BlackJesus8463it’s not anonymized though - according to the FTC they sold thousands of emails to Facebook and other advertisers which means they shared PHI which means they violated HIPAA
*HIPAA
@@BlackJesus8463 "anonymised" no it wasn't
Reminder that better help collects and sells your personal information and has been exposed as a scam multiple times.
You should make Sweetbread a La Gusteau from Ratatouille, it always sounded unique when I watched that cooking scene
Yeah, I’d also be interested how Babish can make a cow’s thymus gland with black licorice sauce edible and tasty.
@@melbell0865wow, OP wasn't kidding when he said "unique"
But Sweetbread a La Gusteau was a disaster! Gusteau himself said so!
@@melbell0865 don't forget the white truffle sauce
Didn't Remy change the recipe though? He was shaking his head as the ingredients were listed
I'm going to make these but strawberry filled with chacolate icing for my wife for Valentine's day thanks for the idea babish.
Woahhhh, I typically make chocolate covered strawberries every year! What a twist! Heavily considering this.
Cut strawberries into hearts as garnish for a nice touch
Yeah, I don't think there is a strawberry-basil pop tart.
3:51 is where to strawberry filling starts!
I'm glad to see other comments about the problems with BetterHelp, but I still have to throw my weight behind the issue, too. Not only does BetterHelp pair LGBT clients with conversion therapists and religious abuse survivors with Christian therapists in direct contradiction with both their desires and best interests, they also have gone on record justifying the sale of session transcripts by saying that they're a tech company, not a healthcare company, and so have no obligation to uphold patient confidentiality.
this needs to be a higher comment!! really disheartening that some of my favorite creators still accept sponsorships from them :-(
@@emmys.youtubeif they’re in a contract, they have no choice
@@ManSeekingMeaningyes, however we still make comments like this in hopes they won’t renew their contract once it’s up
they pay huge amounts of money for sponsorships
@@ManSeekingMeaning They're in a contract yes, but the very least that they can do is acknowledge that they're aware of how scummy a contracted sponsor is, and state that they won't be moving forward after their contract ends. NerdECrafter has done just that quite recently, actually- still under contract, has a few more videos, but has made a pinned comment in her BetterHelp-sponsored videos thus far saying that she won't be moving forward with a contract renewal.
Better help is a scam and their therapists aren’t required to actually be therapists 🤭
i had one tell me the solution was to die.
I'd take it more serious without the emoji.
@@XaeDae bro got a canadian therapist lol
@@SpaghettiMaker cry about it
@@deadsparksgamingchannel Waaaah
Digging the return to classic form for the binging episodes while letting the other shows be their own thing.
Try Hazelnut Soup that was mentioned in Tangled movie
Sounds interesting
Yeah, I'm not surprised a Therapy site sponsored the Mean Girls episode.
Lol, true.🤣
Especially a therapy site with such a horrible reputation as BetterHelp.
it is not Therapy if you lie about the therapists being real therapists and sell the clients data at the same time tho
@@sabersight908True. They're not therapists, they charge more than actual therapists, and they sell confidential data third parties. Yay capitalism!
BetterHelp was fined by the FTC for selling user data last year. Please stop accepting sponsorships from them if you have any respect whatsoever for your viewers.
Thankyou!! Your opinion is valid and I wish he didn’t. I like Andrew but he’s used them before and people told him then.
or the mentally unstable :/ only thing that can be done is inform the uninformed sadly
My man’s got bills to pay. He doesn’t care what they got going on. That’s all what it really is. Who cares at this point
Babish. Andrew. You CANNOT TAKE BETTERHELP SPONSORSHIPS. They just lost a lawsuit for selling patient data amidst constant and ongoing criticism from both customers and professionals for their poor quality of care. This is getting embarrassing.
It seems fairly clear that they’re locked in via contract with BH. Some u fortunate things you just can’t avoid, especially when you’re supporting multiple other people who work for you and can’t risk a lawsuit.
@@ManSeekingMeaningThat’s true, but there are ways to acknowledge that a company has problems while under a sponsorship deal, whereas the ad reads on this channel wouldn’t indicate anything out of the ordinary without the context of the comments.
@@ManSeekingMeaningMost states allow a no fault dissolution from contracts with any company found to be in violation of federal law. He can easily dissolve the contract at no fault if he actually cared about more than the money
My Mom loves toaster strudels, they've always been one of her must have foods in the house since she had me. I think she would enjoy these very much so thanks for giving me a recipe for one of her favourite foods ever, Babish! 😄
is she a regular mom or is she a cool mom
Thats all moms! Something about Berries and sweet and kids
@@raphaelmarleyalves7475lol. What like Stiflers mom
Andrew - "I'm gonna teach you how to make toaster strudel"
Also Andrew - "next you're gonna want to blanch your basil"
Once that partnership with betterhelp is done you need to make a video about that. Do more research on your sponsors in the future.
a classic "Babish does Gourmet Makes" episode, i love these
I had this EXACT thought
Yeah, be honest Andrew, how many times did you watch Claire do this before you attempted it?
Better not to use this sponsor
Toaster Strudel in the microwave for 12 seconds before tossing them in the toaster is the best way to make them. The microwave takes the edge off throughout while the toaster crisps everything up to perfection while getting the filling to just slightly short of molten, mouth melting hot. Any shorter than 12 seconds and the filling is still cold/frozen. Any longer than 12 seconds and the pastry goes soggy and gross. Two rounds through the toaster will burn the pastry to an inedible state. So the only way to eat Toaster Strudel is to microwave first and then toast.
I remember back in the day they also had just chocolate filled and even Smores filled toaster strudels.. how i wish they would bring those back
I know right! I remember also cinnamon roll flavor, fruit and icing flavor fillings, and much more… I still love toaster strudel
They did?! I wish i had found those 🤤
My favorite way to eat toaster strudel has always been to sandwich two together and put two packets of icing in between.
this sounds illegal
oh my GODS i have to try this
@@MoondustManwiseGod* there is only one-The Father in Heaven, hallowed be His name.

Those are some fetch strudels you made there, Babish.
Could you please do your own take on the Fiesta Burrito with Chili and Eggs that Dan Aykroyd makes for Robert Stack in the food truck scene from Caddyshack 2?
Those look amazing & a perfect vessel for my new dough sheeter.
The clip: My grandfather, the inventor of Toaster Strudel.
Babish: This is my friend, in a movie with this girl that talks about her grandfather, the inventor of Toaster Strudel.
I want to make those. Looks delicious.
Request: Can you do your version of the 24 Layer Confetti cake from Maison Pickle? I really would like to try to recreate it.
I'm sad you can't get the ones with the cream cheese inside anymore. But yeah, all three of those flavors sound awesome. 100% would devour.
DID RHET GET RID OF THOSE ONES???
The chocolate filled ones were the favorite in my house growing up.
I just bought cream cheese and strawberry.
Shredding apples like that is a smart idea people need to use more! That's the one flaw with Apple pies is you could pull out a that's way too big in one go. Brilliant idea really.
I love your content, Babish, but could you look deeper into your sponsors please? BetterHelp is known to be incredibly sketchy and even sometimes dangerous to their consumers. From the fact that up until recently their "therapists" weren't actually licensed, to selling private and sensitive health data to ad agencies, and mostly getting away with it due to not technically falling under HIPAA laws since their therapists weren't licensed... They're just a really, really bad company to be supporting with your content and sponsorships. ♥
Creators are locked in contacts with them, can't do anything about it for now
@@bizzoulabaou I'm aware. However, there are creators who are still locked in contracts with them who are at least being transparent about the fact that they weren't aware, but now they are and after their contractual obligations are over they won't be going forward with them. Take NerdECrafter, for example.
@@bizzoulabaouNo. That's not correct information. There's no such thing as being "locked in" to a contract to begin with, they all have stipulations for dissolution of contract, and the law provides no fault dissolution of contracts with criminal entities. Better Help has lost in court with the federal government for their business practices. He's only still in the contract for the money
great sponsor choice! nothing is better than when unlicensed therapists sell peoples private information online!
Anyone making these -
at 4:48 Babish says “2 and 3/4 ounces of AP flour” and it’s absolutely supposed to be cups haha.
Literally stood here weighing my flour confused lol
Stop trying to make Toaster Strudels happen. It's never going to happen.
Lol.😂
Uhm excuse you her father, THE INVENTOR OF TOASTER STRUDELS, will be hearing about this 🙄
That’s so fetch 😜
Toaster strudels are so fetch!
As If!
5:23 Babish acting like he's alone in the kitchen and doesn't have a Team of 20 people with him. classic
Right all the weirdos just staring at food. Hmm yaass zoom.. Tilt zoom out yaasss hmmmm huuuu
You should mention that betterhelp sell your personal information to advetisers. I think its important to mention when it comes to mental helth right?
I really hope he doesn't renew whatever deal he has with betterhelp
Unfortunate that yet another big CZcamsr is taking a BetterHelp sponsor.
I know there awful. I’m so disappointed ☹️
It's not his first sponsorship with betterhelp, for some reason he continues to do so :/
@@nilay5162it’s just a contract he probably has to do the sponsor message for a certain amount of videos even after all the news and stuff about them.
Well, that's the reason he can wear that huge luxury gold watch on his wrist.
I am very tempted to try this one, I LOVE Toaster Strudels
Dude. Your toaster called me poor. Lol
Love toaster strudel. My favorite has always been the chocolate ones.
Mean girls is classic! Thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
this immediately made me think of the mean girls toaster strudels that came out a while back & had pink icing, i miss those
Strawberry and basil? That's an interesting combination. And your blueberry mix looked intriguing too.
I guess he ignored all the comments last time talking about how bad betterhelp is, whatever morals you have to sacrifice to get that bag I guess. SMH 😔
He’s a sellout.
This could have been filmed awhile ago and he probably has some sort of contract
I’m so pleased you said this, I’m so disappointed. Everyone told him last time and yet here we are. You would hope he would listen but I guess he only cares about the money.
Nope, he knows how bad it is. I have screenshots of him highlighting comments telling anyone who brings it up to cope seethe and cry about it.@@meliss9536
One thing I would LOVE to see is Sweet Bread a la Gusteau, or the recipe Gusteau himself said was a disaster. There are so many versions you can make with this. The BAD one, Remy’s version, which I dunno if you would WANT to make the bad one. If you follow Collette’s philosophy tho… idk
EDIT: Someone beat me to the punch with it lol, but as long as it gets made I see this as a win!
The description for this one is funny, I enjoyed reading it 😁
You could see the apple oxidizing while he was grating it, which I thought was neat.
For making the pastry dough, I'd recommend using a metal pastry cutter, or two forks/butter knives. Using your fingers to crumble the butter can melt it and mess up those butter layers that you want.
It would be awesome to see you re-create the menu from the credits of the short small fry. That food looks really cool.
Whoa. Those look amazing.
No no no no! Betterhelp is selling your personal data that they say is confidential 😡
Thankyou! There awful 😢
Why is no-one talking about his space age toaster
Breville BTA830XL Die-Cast Smart Toaster
Those look amazing!
I know you've got bills to pay and you've gotta make money in order to keep delivering us great episodes, so I won't nag about BetterHelp and their dubious practices.
Those Strudels looked fantastic! I crave Toaster Strudels pretty often, especially after I learned that they're even better when you spread a layer of peanutbutter on top and THEN ice them.
“Conan, what is best in life?”
Conan: “..... to taste the laminations of their strudel!”
These look amazing! My wife and I need to make them immediately!
“Quarter butter knife’s worth” the ye old measuring unit 😅
Love everything about ur vids Babz
I can’t wait to try making these. Blueberry is also my favorite growing up.
Your method as a kid is exactly what I do to Jamaican patties
What is a Jamaican patty?😊
I feel like it's been awhile since we last heard this background music. Still my favorite.
Your promotions remind me of the old in-episode promotions from 50's tv shows
Ive watched mean girls 4 times and never knew that that girls dad was the inventor of toaster strudels.
Sad to see you taking a BetterHelp sponsorship.
Agreed, there awful
Love your videos!💚
I wanna try these
Store bought toaster strudels are maybe the best store bought pre-packaged pastries I've had.
Held my attention all the way to the end!
Your cooking skills are always awesome
Can the next food be the Duck Cake from “Bluey” would really like to see you make that.
"Excessively reasonable" that's how I'm gonna refer to my drinking from this point on... thanks Babish!!
Adding just a little bit of heavy cream to the egg yolk when you brush it on makes the golden just a tad more golden
That toaster was wild
Oh man, now I want one...
Roast beef, chicken, and pizza that Patrick Star mentioned in Something Smells episode. The only catch is that you have to eat them in the morning
Funny timing for this video - toaster strudels have been on my mind since I saw Alchemy Peppers posted a recipe to use their black cherry & Carolina reaper hot sauce to make a sweet and spicy breakfast pastry....
If you're sticking with the store-bought, and you have a Tovala oven, Toaster Strudel may be the only thing that cooks perfectly just by scanning the UPC. Everything else we just treat it like an overpriced toaster oven, but it works magic with Toaster Strudel.
i am absolutely loving the backlash over the Betterhelp ads in the comments. I hated all the Betterhelp ads since they started flooding CZcams and Podcast content several years ago. They always seemed cringey.
This is a request that isn’t popular, but babish should make the mixed up foods from mixels. Like the cookieroni or the hamloni sandwich.
I think you should do a basics episode of Goulash.
And all its various permutations- American Chop Suet, Johnny Marzetti, et. al...
I've never seen a motorized toaster like that before. Insane.
I hadn't heard of sumac as a seasoning before this video, and I'm fascinated yet dubious. Since I was about 5, I've only known sumac as "one of the two plants I am allergic to" XD
That said, your strudels looks and sound amazingly delicious. May have to try making some of my own!
Where are you from? Sumac is more commonly found in Persian and Middle Eastern type cuisine.
@@alexissey4023 eastern US, probably part of the reason for both my allergy and my lack of knowledge on it. haha
Throwback Thursday for me! Shot out from the ROC!
Would love to see you do Edith's wedding food from Downton Abbey
Love your videos
This is your daily reminder to NEVER use better help
After this episode I would just love to see you come up with gourmet poptarts
Betterhelp sells your user data to advertisers btw. dunno if I'd like to be their customer
Why did they get rid of the chocolate toaster strudels!? It still haunts me to this day
The toaster strudels with fruit and cream cheese fillings were always the best
Totally unrelated, but dig the new cutting board.
That toaster...Arthur C. Clarke called. He wants it back.
Toaster Scrambles are actually amazing. You should try it if you haven’t already
Man those strudels look tasty
Request: can you please make the cookironis from Lego Mixels
The toaster strudel with egg and sausage were amazing
they still make them but i can only find them at walmart. they are one of my favorite foods😂
Genuinely curious, what's the point of blanching the basil if you're just going to boil it with the strawberries anyway? Wouldn't it be best to drop it in right before switching off the heat?
Dang, that looks great! I've always been a bit confused about strawberry and basil. It's been popping up in alcoholic beverages at my store lately. The few applications I've had it in, the basil overwhelmed the strawberry and tasted a little too savory for my preference. Out of curiosity, is this a relatively recent combo, or has it been around a while?
I was born a pop tart guy, and I will die a pop tart guy
Looking forward to the Botched episode starring Claire Saffitz.
