Isn't this just beautiful out here, y'all?
0:02
I just came out and get some blueberries,
0:05
and I'm cooking breakfast on the porch this morning.
0:10
And I don't know if y'all have had the opportunity
0:12
to see the property that Michael was born and raised on,
0:18
And I just wanted to surprise him when he came over
0:21
to check on the house and have breakfast ready for him,
0:25
that I've cooked on our back porch.
0:27
Okay, so y'all come up on the porch and join me
0:29
because I'm going to show you a delicious, easy recipe
0:34
that's called granite steps country blueberry coffee cake.
0:41
All right, to start making this we're going to use
0:45
They're so versatile.
0:47
You can do anything with them.
0:48
And this recipe was served by my friend, Donna,
0:52
when she and her mother had the granite steps mansion.
0:56
It was a beautiful bed and breakfast here in Savannah.
1:00
And Donna personally cooked breakfast for all of her guests.
1:03
And this is the one of the things
1:06
that she had on her table.
1:07
And Donna was very ingenious at preparing wonderful
1:13
tasty dishes for her guests.
1:15
And so I think y'all are just going to love this.
1:18
All right, we're going to start by quartering our biscuits,
1:26
And I'm using buttermilk grand biscuits.
1:29
Those are the great big biscuits.
1:32
You see how generous these are.
1:35
these turnout kind of like a cat head biscuit.
1:38
They got their name because they're actually about
1:41
the size of a cat head.
1:43
You can see them, the little pieces of shortening
1:47
in these biscuits and that's what makes
1:50
the biscuits so good and moist.
1:55
All right, I got my biscuits cutting quarters.
1:56
I've got a half a cup of brown sugar here
1:59
that I'm going to add a half a teaspoon of cinnamon to.
2:02
And we're just going to kind of toss that together.
2:05
Just make sure that cinnamon gets kind of equally mixed up
2:11
And you know, no coffee cake is a coffee cake
2:14
without a stick of butter.
2:16
So that's what I've got here.
2:18
Now we're going to take our biscuits,
2:22
dip them into our butter and then dip them
2:25
into our brown sugar and lay them down
2:28
into our greased casserole dish.
2:31
Can't get any easier than this can ya?
2:35
Like I said, I think a canned biscuit is probably
2:37
one of my favorite convenience foods.
2:41
And I remember my grandmother did adore
2:45
when they came out with a canned biscuit, she was thrilled
2:47
because in spite of the fact that she was a grand cook,
2:50
she never really mastered breads
2:53
until she was well into her eighties.
2:56
And then she took up bread making.
2:58
This smells totally divine right here.
3:01
All right, that's going to finish off our biscuits.
3:04
Now I'm going to measure out a cup and a half
3:06
of these beautiful blueberries.
3:11
And I did wash these before I brought them back.
3:14
All right, so we're going to put a half a cup of sugar
3:17
over a cup and a half of blueberries.
3:19
And we're just going to toss that together.
3:23
And I'm going to put a half a cup of oatmeal,
3:28
which makes this the healthy dish.
3:32
'Cause everybody knows that oatmeal is good for you, right?
3:37
I'm going to take half the blueberries
3:44
and spread them around like that.
3:46
And then the other half of the quick cook oatmeal
3:51
over those and then the rest on top.
3:56
All right, you know, I hate to waste this butter.
3:58
I think I'm just gonna drizzle it on top.
4:01
I don't think probably Donna call for that in the recipe,
4:04
but I can't waste that butter.
4:08
All right, it's ready to go in the oven.
4:10
We gonna put it in a three 75 preheated degree oven
4:13
and we're going to bake it for about 20 minutes,
4:15
'cause everything's really done in it
4:17
except for the biscuit.
4:21
So we're going to stick these in here.
4:26
And I think that our coffee cake is ready to come out.
4:34
This is a little tricky.
4:36
Ouey, ouey, doesn't that look good?
4:40
Look at those biscuits puffing up through there.
4:44
So let's see what we've got here.
4:49
Oh, you can see, I've got a little bowl
4:56
of fresh whipped cream hiding back here behind everything
5:04
This looks just having like, and you know,
5:06
blueberries are really so good for you,
5:08
they're an oxidant, but they say blueberries
5:13
slow down the aging process.
5:16
So I might need to fix this every morning.
5:20
So let's see what we've got.
5:27
I feel myself getting younger, y'all.
5:37
