0:03
everything that i'm cooking today
0:06
is coming from the oven i'm here with my
0:09
friend cheryl day
0:10
from back in the day bakery cheryl's
0:13
sharing her recipe
0:15
for my all-time favorite old-fashioned
0:18
cupcakes
0:20
[Music]
0:22
i'm showing her a hearty lots of meat
0:25
lasagna
0:26
that can turn any baker into a cook
0:30
look girlfriend then we're whipping up a
0:33
zesty
0:33
roasted garlic bread cut this in half
0:36
put our lasagna on the bread
0:37
and had a lasagna sandwich oh so join us
0:40
as we show you the recipes that we adore
0:44
today it's loving in the oven y'all
0:49
cheryl makes cupcakes
0:52
like you've never had since your mama
0:54
made them oh thank you paul and so
0:56
you're gonna share that recipe with us
0:58
absolutely you ready i am so
1:01
ready okay well let's come on down here
1:03
okay
1:04
we're going to start with um cake flour
1:09
all right so cake flour yeah that's a
1:12
fourth of a cup
1:13
actually what we're going to end up with
1:15
is
1:17
one and three-fourths cup oh okay
1:20
so we we have to have every one of the
1:22
measuring cups to measure out that's
1:23
great don't we exactly
1:25
i have found that the all-purpose flour
1:28
will add that stability that i want but
1:31
at the same time the cake flour will
1:33
give it that fluffiness well that's what
1:35
i was gonna ask you i have never
1:38
mixed flowers like that so good that's
1:42
the best of both worlds so there's one
1:44
in three-fourths
1:45
one and three-fourths cup of cake flour
1:48
that is correct
1:49
and then we're gonna do one and a fourth
1:52
cup
1:52
of our all-purpose flour okay
1:56
all right so that's my one okay and
1:58
paula if you would for me we're going to
2:00
need um two cups now i know this is
2:02
going to be unusual because you're so
2:03
used to creaming the butter first yeah
2:05
but right in the bowl if you can measure
2:07
me two cups
2:08
of sugar sugar just dump it right in the
2:10
bowl
2:12
so we've got our two flours two flours
2:17
and our two cups of sugar and then i'm
2:19
gonna need a tablespoon of baking
2:22
powder okay i like to use the cake flour
2:24
for this
2:25
it's not self-rising because i want to
2:27
add in the leavening to this particular
2:29
recipe
2:30
okay just dump it right tablespoon of
2:32
baking powder and then we need
2:33
3 4 teaspoons so salt of salt
2:38
okay that's a half and a quarter
2:41
now let me tell you a tip i was taught
2:44
how to
2:45
i would sift everything that's how my
2:47
grandmother taught me how to do because
2:48
for lighter cakes
2:50
i found if i turn that on i'm still
2:52
getting that lightness
2:54
and kind of getting it mixed just
2:56
incorporating the flour
2:57
incorporating it and getting
2:59
incorporating some air into it that way
3:01
so then next we're going to add the
3:03
butter
3:04
we've got two sticks of butter cubed and
3:06
it's room temperature
3:08
and then we're going to add that in just
3:10
a little at a time
3:12
this is so different isn't it but i
3:14
think i'm going to like this
3:16
now i wonder if i can use this technique
3:18
with like pound cakes
3:19
and you can you can use it really with
3:21
any of your butter recipes
3:24
the next time i make the pound cake sure
3:27
we can both add
3:28
you and i have so much in common i know
3:30
it it's something and you have been such
3:32
an inspiration for me
3:33
cheryl trained in her grandmother's
3:36
kitchen uh
3:37
the same way as i did we have no formal
3:40
training
3:41
and you started back in the day bakery
3:44
at the same age that i started the back
3:46
lady can we not 42 years ago
3:51
so look how that's cutting it in and
3:53
basically what we want to do is we want
3:55
to get it all in there but we want the
3:57
butter to be coated with the flour
3:59
uh-huh we're gonna need to put four eggs
4:01
one at a time okay
4:02
and i kind of like to crack my eggs in a
4:05
separate bowl
4:06
too you never know what you're gonna get
4:07
yeah so i can just kind of check them
4:09
out
4:10
but see how it's starting to pull
4:11
together now all you cake bakers out
4:14
there i think you're going to love
4:16
it's almost as easy as a cake mix
4:23
okay the last one okay
4:26
all right i'm gonna turn that off and
4:28
paula if you would just put i like to
4:30
put a teaspoon
4:31
of um our vanilla and right in our milk
4:34
because that kind of saves you a step
4:36
so i do that sometimes too yes just
4:39
good vanilla there we go all right and
4:41
so then just a little at a time i'm
4:43
going to go ahead and add
4:45
just a little bit of the milk uh-huh
4:50
starting to look like a battery arrow
4:54
okay i think it's done i think so too
4:57
it's a beautiful batter thank you
5:01
and we're gonna scoop that into our
5:04
muffin cups
5:06
cheryl and every cupcake you make in
5:08
that bakery is
5:10
making me mad from scratch i don't use
5:12
any mixes
5:14
we've just been committed to doing that
5:16
well you know that's why people
5:17
appreciate you so much
5:19
can you help me scoop me i sure will and
5:21
you know what this is a great way to
5:23
measure them out
5:24
i think so you do a level i do a level
5:27
but i just want to make one sound i
5:30
think it's about three ounces
5:32
that's what i thought about three ounces
5:35
yeah that
5:36
that's just perfect because you don't
5:38
want
5:39
some cupcakes mounded up and then some
5:42
flats
5:42
so exactly great way to measure that so
5:45
shall we pop these in your oven
5:47
absolutely okay i'm just going to put
5:49
these at 325. it takes about 17 minutes
5:52
[Music]

6:36
i'm in here in the kitchen today with my
6:38
friend cheryl
6:39
day i'm sharing with her my recipe for
6:42
lots of meat lasagna
6:44
so in our pot we're browning off y'all
6:48
one and a half cups of ground chuck and
6:51
then we've got
6:52
a pound of ground italian sausage
6:56
now cheryl shared with me over the break
6:58
y'all that
6:59
she didn't even know how to cut an onion
7:00
that's true so we're going to
7:03
dice up one onion cherry you just cut
7:06
that onion slap in two
7:08
lay it on its side and juice cut it in
7:11
strips
7:12
okay then turn it around and come back
7:15
cutting the
7:16
other way and you'll have little diced
7:17
up pieces okay
7:19
so try your hand at that girl oh yeah
7:22
that's easy paula
7:23
see how easy that is it looks perfect
7:26
okay
7:27
all right i'm gonna go ahead and get
7:28
that little bit of garlic in garlic
7:30
smells good
7:32
so get that in our pot okay just take it
7:34
there you go
7:37
scoop it up so now we're gonna add our
7:40
seasonings
7:41
okay we've got two teaspoons of oregano
7:45
and one teaspoon of basil so just
7:48
toss it in now if you've got fresh herbs
7:53
you'll just have to remember your fresh
7:55
herbs are not as potent as your dry
7:57
herbs
7:58
okay so you'll probably need to use like
8:00
twice the amount
8:01
all right let's put a little salt okay
8:04
just about a pinch
8:05
oh no more than oh a large a big pinch
8:09
oh and another pizza and one like one
8:12
more pinch
8:13
and how about grinding us up some fresh
8:16
pepper
8:17
so you can grind it straight into the
8:19
pot or you can grind it into the cup
8:22
and then just take the cup off gotcha
8:25
all right now let's start
8:26
adding our wet ingredients we're gonna
8:28
use
8:29
a 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes
8:34
two 16 ounce cans of tomato sauce
8:38
and depending on your store brand uh
8:41
you know the ounces may vary a little
8:43
bit
8:45
and then we're gonna add one eight ounce
8:48
can of tomato sauce
8:50
so we need two and a half cans and then
8:52
we're gonna add one
8:53
six ounce can of tomato paste
8:56
and your tomato paste is a real
8:58
concentrated
9:00
tomato and it's gonna make our lasagna
9:04
very
9:04
thick and very rich
9:09
all right let's put the lid on it now
9:10
cheryl and we're gonna let this simmer
9:13
for about 30 to 45 minutes
9:16
our next step is to mix together the
9:19
custard part for our lasagna
9:21
i'm gonna use some cottage cheese okay
9:25
about one and a half cups
9:28
and i'm gonna use about five ounces
9:32
of a grated parmesan cheese
9:35
and then we've just got some fresh
9:36
parsley i've got
9:38
two eggs over here that we're gonna mix
9:41
in with that
9:42
cottage cheese and
9:45
this will make it the body yeah i'll
9:48
give it some body and kind of
9:50
hold it together and let it stand on its
9:52
own
9:53
all right so we're just going to mix
9:55
that together and
9:56
over here i started grating up our
9:59
mozzarella cheese because we're going to
10:01
need this
10:02
when we start layering our lasagna
10:04
together
10:05
so i've got a pot back here
10:08
of our sauce cheryl that's been cooking
10:11
great
10:11
and you can see in there and if you'd
10:14
get out of a
10:14
dish okay and while we're layering this
10:18
together
10:19
i want you to tell everybody
10:22
about your wedding day we got married
10:25

10:26
in the bakery during the middle of lunch
10:28

10:30
what happened was we were gonna get
10:31

10:33

10:38

10:40
from the judge that happened to be one
10:42
of our customers
10:44
and he came by that saturday and said oh
10:46

10:48
