Brooklyn challenges dad David to a pancake flipping contest
‘Can you do it with your eyes closed?’ Brooklyn Beckham challenges his dad David to a pancake flipping contest… but fans criticise his ‘thick and burnt’ offering
Brooklyn Beckham challenged his father David to a pancake-flipping contest as he showed fans his attempt at the delicious treat.
The budding chef, 23, shared a slow-motion video flipping his pancake, while asking his dad to attempt the same move with his ‘eyes closed’ in honour of Shrove Tuesday.
While David was quick to respond praising his son’s ‘good pancake,’ many of Brooklyn’s followers weren’t so keen.
Some of Brooklyn’s followers noted his pancake was ‘too thick’ and ‘looked burnt,’ though others were quick to defend his baking skills.
Brooklyn has previously come under fire for using lavish ingredients in his Instagram cooking tutorials, including an excessive use of truffles while cooking a tagliatelle.

In the slow-motion clip, Brooklyn showed he’d inherited his dad’s pancake flipping skills, even proceeding to turn one while his eyes were covered.
He captioned the video: ‘@davidbeckham but could you do it with your eyes closed.’
His father then responded in the comments: ‘I couldn’t do it with my eyes open, looks a good pancake @brooklynpeltzbeckham.’
Earlier in the day, David had shared a clip of himself while flipping pancakes for himself and daughter Harper, with wife Victoria joking that he was ‘such a tosser.’
Many of Brooklyn’s weren’t so keen on his attempt at a pancake, with some noting it was ‘way too thick.’
One wrote: ‘That’s not a pancake that’s too thick,’ while another added: ‘Burnt tho.’
A third added: ‘That’s not a pancake it’s a bloody cake!’
One fan added: ‘Looks more like an omlette lol,’ while one also shared: ‘That pancake is way too thick!’

Defiant: However, some users defended Brooklyn and told trolls to ‘leave him alone’
However, some users defended Brooklyn, with one writing: ‘Everyone slating the pancake that’s how I like mine and I don’t understand people who don’t like him and leave nasty comments but still follow him,, what’s the words oh yeah be kind ‼️‼️’
Another commented: ‘He’s being cheeky w his dad , it’s funny . Please stop taking the pancake so seriously…’
‘I don’t get all the hate for him. Just leave him alone and scroll on. I like his post,’ a third added.
Brooklyn has previously been slammed by his followers for his use of expensive ingredients and basic recipes while cooking for Instagram viewers.
He recently used truffle to whip up a tagliatelle, and gushed in the caption that he could never use too much in his dish.
According to 2021 estimates, winter black truffle has an average price of $20.49 per ounce, while burgundy black truffle costs $24.93 per ounce and summer black truffle is worth $22.57 per ounce. It is not known what type of truffle Brooklyn used.
Last month, Brooklyn also splashed out hundreds of pounds making his controversial ‘Michelin style’ Sunday roast.
Butchers told MailOnline that the meat appeared to be a five kilo cut of 28 day dry aged sirloin which would be worth between £200 and £300 at a meat market.
Brooklyn also used copius amounts of butter, which is currently at a sky high price due to a global milk shortage.
Shocked fans rushed to comment on the cost of the meal, with one commenting: ‘What pains me the most is that probably cost more than most British families can afford to spend on food in a wk. [sic]’
That’s expensive! Brooklyn has previously come under fire for his use of lavish ingredients in his Instagram cooking tutorials, including truffles while demonstrating a tagliatelle
Others added: ‘Heart attack on a plate. Totally unnecessary amount of it. Most peoples budgets do not include ‘ aged’ any kind of meat. In fact those black gloves put me right off anyway. So unappealing!’;
‘Couldn’t afford the amount of butter used! Rather pay a tenna for carvery than 80 quid in butter’; ‘Wonder the cost because the butter price was about £430’.
However, Brooklyn also recently showed his fans a more budget-friendly option, as he recreated the famous ‘Scouse soup,’ which can as little as £2 a portion.
However, fans took to the comments to criticise the recipe, saying he should have made the soup from scratch and added more vegetables, rather than using a carton of supermarket broth.
