- Well hey y'all how are you today?
0:02
Come on in the kitchen with me.
0:04
I just wanna share my feelings with you for a minute.
0:07
You know, there's nothing like the smell
0:09
of baked treats to get everybody in the kitchen.
0:13
I wanna start off by sharing
0:14
a fabulous orange brownie recipe with you.
0:18
I'm gonna start by measuring out
0:20
a cup and a half of flour.
0:24
Gonna level that off, because you know, when you're bakin',
0:29
unlike when you're just regular cookin', when you're bakin',
0:32
it's so important for your measuring to be very precise
0:38
because bakin' definitely is a formula.
0:43
So you'll want to make sure that you're very, very accurate.
0:47
Now wanna measure in two cups of sugar.
0:53
And if y'all think a brownie mix
0:55
from the grocery store is easy,
0:58
this is just as easy as if you had a mix.
1:07
All right, the next ingredient to go in our bowl
1:10
is two sticks of softened butter.
1:15
So that tells you right off the bat
1:18
this is gonna be a very, very moist brownie,
1:22
and I'm gonna do about a teaspoon of salt.
1:25
And now we're just gonna crack four eggs
1:29
into our flour, sugar, and butter.
1:33
And I'm breakin' my eggs separately into another bowl
1:38
because I wanna make sure
1:40
that I don't add a bad egg to the bunch.
1:52
All right, there we go.
1:53
Now I'm gonna add a teaspoon of orange zest into our batter.
2:06
And now I'm gonna add two teaspoons of orange extract.
2:15
And we're just gonna beat these up.
2:19
Okay, so you can see that this is almost like
2:22
just a jumpin' mix and it's smellin' so good
2:30
and that's all it takes.
2:31
You can see it requires very, very little beatin'
2:36
and our batter is together just that quick.
2:39
And look at that pretty batter.
2:41
You can see the pieces of zest in it.
2:48
And it tastes wonderful, y'all.
2:51
Now I'm gonna put this into a 13-by-9-by-2 bakin' dish
2:55
that's already been greased.
2:58
Normally I would bake this at 350,
3:00
but because we're cookin' it in glass,
3:02
we're gonna lower our temperature to 325 degrees
3:08
or until it's a nice, beautiful light brown.
3:14
You want it baked all the way through.
3:19
So just that quickly, we've gotten our brownies together.
3:24
Instead of brownies, we need to call them oranges
3:31
So in it goes and hopefully in 30 minutes,
3:35
we're going to have a beautiful light brown,
3:39
perfectly set brownie.
3:43
Now, while those are bakin',
3:44
let's come over here and make our cream cheese icing.
3:47
And it's just a standard cream cheese icing
3:51
that calls for one eight-ounce package of cream cheese
3:55
and we're gonna put in a half a stick of softened butter.
4:04
Okay, next, we're gonna add two tablespoons of orange zest.
4:10
And you'll wanna be careful when you're zestin' your orange
4:13
that you don't go very deeply into that skin,
4:17
because if you go deep,
4:19
it has a very, very bitter taste to it.
4:22
All right, so in goes two tablespoons of the zest.
4:28
To this, we're gonna add one 16-ounce box of powdered sugar.
4:33
The powdered sugar will really break down
4:36
as soon as we put our liquid in it.
4:44
Gonna change my beaters around.
4:51
Now, I'm gonna slowly add two tablespoons
4:56
of-fresh squeezed orange juice
4:59
to give us the spreading consistency
5:02
that we're gonna need for this frosting.
5:05
And of course, if you've done any bakin' at all,
5:08
you'll know that a little liquid with powdered sugar
5:11
goes a very, very long way.
5:14
So you don't wanna make it too thin.
5:23
All right, so there we go.
5:24
I think our consistency is perfect.
5:27
As it sits here, it'll tighten up a bit.
5:34
I wish you kids were here so I could give you one
5:37
of these beaters so you could lick a beater.
5:41
But I'll do it for you, how's that?
5:46
Today is all about bakin'
5:48
and I've got some orange brownies in the oven.
5:51
It's time to take those out.
5:54
And I'm gonna just sit these down here on this end
6:00
and let them cool because if I put that cream cheese icing
6:06
it would just melt and just run everywhere.
6:09
Our brownies have cooled off.
6:11
They're cool enough for me to frost 'em now.
6:17
that wonderful cream cheese and orange frosting
6:23
on top of our brownies.
6:25
Doesn't that look delicious?
6:36
All right, we just wanna spread that evenly.
6:44
Okay, so there we go.
6:48
All right, let's cut into our brownies now.
6:53
I'm so ready to taste these brownies.
6:58
Gently lift out that first brownie.
7:02
Doesn't that look good?
7:13
And I think I'm gonna throw
7:14
a couple of kumquats on my plate.
7:20
Oh, and we almost forgot our vegetables.
7:28
Let's give it a taste.
7:31
Come on in here with me now, get up close.
7:37
Get up close so I can reach your mouth.
7:46
It's out of this world.
