Blueberry Coffee Cake

So y'all come up on the porch and join me because I'm going to show you a delicious, easy recipe

It's called Granite Steps Country Blueberry Coffee Cake. All right. To start making this, we're going to use the canned biscuit

They're so versatile, you can do anything with them. And this recipe was served by my friend Donna when she and her mother had the Granite Steps Mansion

It was a beautiful bed and breakfast here in Savannah. And Donna personally cooked breakfast for all of her guests

And this is one of the things that she had on her table. And Donna was very ingenious at preparing wonderful, tasty dishes for her guests

And so I think y'all are just going to love this. All right, we're going to start by quartering our biscuits just like this

And I'm using buttermilk grand biscuits. Those are the great big biscuits

You see how generous these are. I mean these turn out kind of like a cat head biscuit They got their name because they actually about the size of a cat head You can see the little pieces of shortening in these biscuits

and that's what makes the biscuits so good and moist. Alright, I've got my biscuits cut in quarters

I've got a half a cup of brown sugar here that I'm going to add a half a teaspoon of cinnamon to

and we're just going to kind of toss that together. Just make sure that cinnamon gets kind of equally mixed up in that brown sugar

And, you know, no coffee cake is a coffee cake without a stick of butter

So that's what I've got here. Now we're going to take our biscuits, dip them into our butter

and then dip them into our brown sugar and lay them down into our greased casserole dish

can't get any easier than this, can you? Like I said, I think a canned biscuit is probably

one of my favorite convenience foods, and I remember my grandmother did adore

when they came out with a canned biscuit She was thrilled because in spite of the fact that she was a grand cook she never really mastered breads until she was well into her 80s And then she took up bread making

This smells totally divine right here. All right, that's going to finish off our biscuits

Now I'm going to measure out a cup and a half of these beautiful blueberries

And I did wash these before I brought them back. All right, so we're going to put a half a cup of sugar

over a cup and a half of blueberries. And we're just gonna toss that together

And I'm gonna put a half a cup of oatmeal, which makes this the healthy dish

Because everybody knows that oatmeal is good for you, right? I'm gonna take half the blueberries

and spread them around like that. and then the other half of the quick cook oatmeal over those

and then the rest on top. All right, you know, I hate to waste this butter

I think I just gonna drizzle it on top I don think probably Donna called for that in the recipe but I can waste that butter All right it ready to go in the oven

We're gonna put it in a 375 preheated degree oven, and we're gonna bake it for about 20 minutes

because everything's really done in it except for the biscuits. So we're gonna stick these in here

So let's see what we've got here. Oh. You can see I've got a little bowl of fresh whipped cream

hiding back here behind everything for my coffee cake. This looks just heavenly

And you know, blueberries are really so good for you. They're an antioxidant, but they say

blueberries slow down the aging process. So I might need to fix this every morning

So let's see what we've got. Oh my goodness. I feel myself getting younger, y'all
