- Hey, y'all.
0:01
You recognize who's in this kitchen with me today?
0:04
- Aw.
0:04
- My friend, Chef Joseph
0:07
that I met at one of my book signings, and I love he.
0:11
- Oh, I love you too.
0:13
It's fun to be with you again today.
0:14
- It's fun to be with you. - Yes.
0:16
- You got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.
0:18
- Oh. Thank you, Jesus. (laughs)
0:21
- I love looking at it.
0:22
- Oh, thank you.
0:23
- So, Joseph, what we're gonna do today
0:26
is we're kinda thinking about the holidays, you know?
0:28
- Sure, mm-hmm. - Thanksgiving,
0:30
Christmas coming up.
0:31
Do you like buttermilk pie?
0:32
- Oh, I love buttermilk pie.
0:33
- I love a buttermilk pie. - So good, mm-mm.
0:36
- It's kinda like a...
0:40
Am I wanting to say chess pie or egg custard?
0:43
- Yes, yes, yes.
0:44
- It's kinda like that. - Mm-hmm.
0:46
- But now, y'all, I'm using a refrigerated pie dough.
0:49
- Mm-hmm, which is perfect.
0:52
- It is perfect.
0:53
- Mm-hmm.
0:54
- Oh, and you see how it's overlapped, y'all?
0:58
So I'm gonna be able to turn that under like that.
1:03
- [Joseph] It's perfect.
1:04
- [Paula] And that's gonna give us
1:07
some height in there that we can...
1:13
Uh-oh, might not have put it slap-ka-dab even.
1:15
(Joseph laughs)
1:16
But that'll give us extra dough to go like this.
1:20
- [Joseph] Mm-hmm!
1:21
- [Paula] You know, and just make us-
1:23
- [Joseph] Right.
1:24
- [Paula] Kind of a pretty little-
1:25
- [Joseph] And you said you don't like thin pie crusts.
1:27
You like it thick.
1:29
- [Paula] No, I like,
1:33
instead of using a big pie pan for that.
1:35
- [Joseph] Oh, I see, yeah.
1:36
- I like to use a smaller one.
1:38
- Sure, yeah. - And now we can do that.
1:43
But it just sure helps to have that extra.
1:46
- [Joseph] Mm-hmm.
1:48
- Or you can, I'll show you the way
1:49
that my mama used to do it.
1:53
- [Joseph] Okay.
1:54
- [Paula] And by far, it's the easiest.
2:03
- [Joseph] It looks good so far.
2:04
- [Paula] Yeah. You know, I love refrigerated pie crust.
2:07
- [Joseph] Me too.
2:08
- [Paula] Oh, 'cause, you know, you can put it
2:10
in your real pie plate.
2:13
- [Joseph] Mm-hmm.
2:14
- [Paula] And-
2:14
- [Joseph] No one would ever know.
2:15
- No one will ever know.
2:17
- [Joseph] No, they'll say,
2:17
"This is the best pie I ever had."
2:19
- Ever had. (laughs) (Joseph laughs)
2:21
- [Joseph] And you just say, "Thank you!"
2:22
- Yes! I worked hard.
2:25
(Joseph laughs)
2:27
- Worked hard pressing it into this pie plate. (laughs)
2:29
- Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, I worked hard.
2:32
- Yeah, it's perfect.
2:34
- Okay, so I'm trying to straighten out what I fluted.
2:38
(Joseph laughs)
2:44
- Perfect.
2:45
- All right, now this is the way mama used to do it.
2:47
- Yeah.
2:53
- And that's by far- - Okay.
2:54
- [Paula] That's by far the easiest.
2:57
- [Joseph] Hmm, it gives it that homemade feel too.
2:59
- [Paula] Yes, but you can do it either way.
3:04
You can like, flute it.
3:05
- [Joseph] Flute it or, yeah.
3:06
- [Paula] Or press it.
3:07
- It's perfect. There we go.
3:09
- So you don't have the pie part ready yet?
3:11
- No, ma'am. I'm waiting for instructions! (laughs)
3:16
Oh, God!
3:17
- I thought you had it ready.
3:18
- No, ma'am, so-
3:18
- All right, we're gonna mix our sugar and our flour.
3:20
- Okay, flour together. All right.
3:23
- And whisk so it's smooth. - Okay, wonderful.
3:28
All right,
3:29
so just mixing that together. - There you go.
3:30
- [Joseph] And then we're adding in the...
3:32
What's the next step? - Melted butter.
3:33
- Melted butter, okay. - Uh-huh.
3:36
- [Joseph] That's beautiful.
3:38
- [Paula] Uh-huh.
3:39
- [Joseph] It's liquid gold.
3:39
- Liquid gold, honey! It sure is.
3:42
- It is. It's so pretty. - It is.
3:44
- Can't have pie without butter.
3:46
- I'll beat these up
3:47
just a little bit for ya. - Thank you. Okay, I'm so-
3:49
- I think that was four eggs we had. A cup of buttermilk.
3:54
- Add the buttermilk in now?
3:56
- Oh, yeah, the eggs and the buttermilk.
3:58
- Okay. - And the vanilla.
3:59
And we'll be ready to put this in the oven.
4:01
- I love it. This is so easy!
4:03
- I'm gonna go ahead and-
4:08
- Add in our vanilla
4:09
- A tablespoon of vanilla. - Ooh! Is that homemade?
4:12
- You know it is, honey. - Oh. Nothing like homemade.
4:16
- Uh-uh. I love it.
4:18
- Okay.
4:19
- You weren't with me.
4:20
You weren't shooting with me when we made the Madagascar.
4:23
- No, I did watch it, though
4:26
'cause I'm a fan. - You did?
4:27
- Of course!
4:27
- Yeah, one's made with bourbon and one's made with vodka.
4:30
- Vodka, yes.
4:33
Both are delicious.
4:34
- Okay, so we're gonna bake this
4:39
for about 45, 50 minutes.
4:42
- Okay.
4:43
- And...
4:44
- Can I show you a trick?
4:45
- Please show me a trick!
4:47
I love tricks. - Okay.
4:49
You know, one of the things that people often complain about
4:51
is the pie being done on the top,
4:54
but not being done at the bottom?
4:55
- Uh-huh.
4:56
- And so this is a really good trick.
4:57
Just take your fork
4:59
and just do a couple of imprints at the bottom.
5:03
- Now, I do that. - Oh, you do?
5:05
- When I'm cooking my pie crust.
5:06
- You are. Okay, yes. - You know?
5:07
'Cause it'll bubble up. - Bubble up, yes.
5:09
But this will help the bottom of the crust
5:13
to crisp up too as well. - That's great.
5:14
- While it cooks.
5:15
- I'm all in.
5:16
- Yep.
5:17
- All right, at 350.
5:18
- Pour all of this in?
5:20
- As much as it'll hold, basically.
5:23
(Joseph laughing) As much as it'll hold.
5:26
Yeah, see, now if we'd have used that bigger pie crust-
5:29
- It wouldn't- - You'd have had a little pie
5:30
about that thick. - It's true. It's true.
5:32
- [Paula] Uh-uh.
5:33
- [Joseph] Okay, I don't think all of it's gonna fit in.
5:34
- [Paula] Oh, come on. A little bit more.
5:35
- Try- - I have faith in you, honey.
5:36
- [Joseph] Yes, ma'am. Tell me when to stop.
5:41
(laughs) I think that's good. I'm scared!
5:45
(both laughing)
5:46
- [Paula] Don't be scared!
5:47
- [Joseph] I think that's good.
5:49
- [Paula] All right, let's, how about we get a cookie sheet?
5:51
- On a cookie sheet? Perfect. - Yeah.
5:53
I think we might better, just in case.
5:57
- Yeah, no, and this actually also helps cook the bottom
6:01
of the crust too as well.
6:02
- Okay.
6:03
- When you put it on a cookie sheet. Yes.
6:05
- Look at that.
6:06
- It's perfect!
6:07
- You're gonna take it to the oven, right?
6:08
- Yes, ma'am. I will.
6:09
- 'Cause you're steadier than me
6:10
'cause I'm old. - Okay. You're young.
6:13
Young at heart.
6:14
- [Paula] I'm young at heart.
6:15
- I love it. Okay, and we're gonna bake this-
6:18
- 350 for 50 to 55 minutes.
6:22
- I'm walking real careful.
6:24
- I just love that we used the fork.
6:27
- Me too.
6:28
- 'Cause it brings back so many memories.
6:31
- Mm-hmm.
6:33
- But look at this.
6:34
- It's beautiful. - This is a beautiful pie.
6:36
- It is.
6:36
- Now we're gonna put a cranberry strawberry glaze
6:41
on top of it, but it's got to cool completely
6:43
so we can't have a piece now. - That's right, first. No.
6:46
(sniffles) It smells so good!
6:49
- Maybe we can play tiddlywinks or something while we wait.
6:53
- Sounds good. (laughs)
6:55
- [Crew Member 1] Are you supposed to eat custard pie
6:57
hot or cold?
6:58
- [Crew Member 2] I mean, I like it kind of cold I guess.
7:00
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
7:01
- Buttermilk pie for sure cold.
7:03
- Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah, but...
7:05
- Oh, it looks so good.
7:06
- And it smells phenomenal. - You know,
7:09
we could help it cool
7:10
by putting it in the refrigerator, couldn't we?
7:11
- We could, yeah.
7:12
I thought you was gonna say we could help it cool
7:14
by blowing on it for a minute.
7:15
Oh no! (Paula laughing)
7:18
- [Paula] That too.
7:19
- But the fridge works. - Yeah, let's-
7:21
- See that. Oh! - Whoa!
7:22
- Here. Got it.
7:23
There we go.
7:24
We'll put it in the fridge. - Oh, thank you, thank you.
7:26
Come on! - Mm-hmm!
7:26
- I hope we can find room for it.
7:28
- [Joseph] Yeah. (laughs)
7:30
- Right, now we're gonna make the glaze.
7:32
- Okay.
7:33
- To go on top of our buttermilk pie.
7:35
And it tells you to use just washed,
7:41
uncooked cranberries, but I decided
7:45
I wanted it to look more relish-y.
7:48
- Yeah, mm-hmm. - Flat.
7:49
So I cooked half just until they came to a bowl.
7:53
And then I mixed the other half in
7:57
that are just raw.
8:01
- Yeah.
8:02
- Because they're real tart.
8:03
- Yeah.
8:05
- Real tart, but I love the pop.
8:08
- Yeah, the texture. - I love the pop
8:09
that the raw ones do. - Yeah, absolutely.
8:11
- So you gonna get a little cooked,
8:13
a little pop. - Yes, and you did put
8:14
a little, with the cooked, you did add a little sugar.
8:17
- I did. I probably put 1/4 of a cup
8:19
of sugar in there just to- - Yeah, which is perfect.
8:20
Help to sweeten it a little bit.
8:22
- Sweeten it a little. - Mm-hmm. A little more sugar.
8:25
- Mm-hmm. They're still very tart.
8:27
- They are? Well-
8:29
- Yeah, so...
8:30
- That works.
8:31
- This is gonna make it sweeter.
8:33
- Okay. And this is raspberry jam?
8:35
- This is strawberry.
8:36
- Okay. - Oh, no. It is raspberry.
8:38
- Oh.
8:38
- I was thinking that we were doing strawberry.
8:41
- [Joseph] There we go.
8:42
Which I'm sure that would be good too as well.
8:44
- [Paula] You could use
8:44
any kind you wanted. - Anything. Mm-hmm.
8:47
It's perfect for a holiday. - I would even, you know,
8:50
we love mayhaw around here.
8:51
- [Joseph] I love mayhaw jam.
8:53
- [Paula] I'd even think about putting mayhaw in.
8:55
- Oh, yeah. That would make it real Southern.
8:58
- Yes.
8:59
- Mm-hmm.
9:00
- But you know, raspberry never has
9:04
been a big fruit down South.
9:07
- Oh, really? - Not like the strawberries
9:09
or the blackberries. - No. Mm-hmm.
9:11
Yeah, I guess it is a more Northern fruit.
9:12
- Yeah, I think it is. - Is that real popular,
9:15
where you're from, Eddie?
9:17
- Raspberry?
9:18
- [Eddie] Raspberry? Oh yeah, there's lots of-
9:19
- Okay. - raspberry vines and...
9:21
- Yeah.
9:22
- Yeah.
9:24
- So we're just gonna put that...
9:27
- It looks almost like cranberry sauce.
9:30
- It does! It does. - Yeah! I like it.
9:33
- Oh, have a taste.
9:34
- Yes, ma'am.
9:37
- I made the best cranberry sauce the other day. Great.
9:39
- Oh, don't tell me! I wasn't here! (laughs)
9:42
- It was so good.
9:44
- Mm! That's very good.
9:47
- I got an uncooked raspberry. - I like it.
9:49
Oh, I did not. (laughs)
9:52
- It's so tart.
9:54
- It is. More sugar. (laughs)
9:59
- But delicious.
10:00
- But it is. It's delicious, it is.
10:01
- So, hurry up and cool, buttermilk.
10:03
- Yeah, so we can eat you. (Paula laughing)
10:07
- Well, here we go!
10:08
- [Crew Member 3] Hello!
10:09
- Our buttermilk pie, y'all.
10:11
- [Joseph] Mm!
10:16
- [Paula] And how about if you and I
10:17
just kinda split a piece?
10:20
- [Joseph] Oh yeah, that's perfect.
10:22
- [Paula] Because I've eaten so much today.
10:24
If you just let me have a bite of his buttermilk pie.
10:27
- [Joseph] And I don't even need a lot.
10:31
- Well, you know, I told you,
10:32
need and want's two different things-
10:34
- That's true. Yes, ma'am.
10:37
Oh, that looks so- - Look at that!
10:38
- That's perfect!
10:40
- Is that not beautiful? - Absolutely perfect.
10:41
It's gorgeous.
10:43
- All right, now we made our relish,
10:46
and I think our cranberries that go on it.
10:50
And I think I told you how I did it. Did I tell 'em?
10:53
- Yes, ma'am. You did.
10:54
- Okay. Oh, thank you.
10:55
- You're welcome.
10:57
- Oh, hey, I cooked half the cranberries.
11:00
- Mm-hmm.
11:02
Oh, it's perfect. It's very holiday.
11:06
- Very- - Thanksgiving.
11:07
- [Paula] (coughs) I got a peanut in my throat.
11:09
- Uh-oh! (laughs) (Paula laughs)
11:11
- [Paula] That is very holiday.
11:12
- [Joseph] Yes, it is.
11:15
- [Paula] So-
11:16
- [Joseph] Beautiful. Shall I try it?
11:18
- [Paula] Of course!
11:20
- (laughs) You know what my favorite part of the pie is?
11:22
This back part right here where the crust is.
11:26
- Uh-huh, I do too. Look at that beautiful pie.
11:28
And see, with us putting it in this smaller
11:35
pie pan.
11:36
- Oh man. - See,
11:36
it made it nice and thick.
11:38
- It is delicious.
11:39
- It is good.
11:40
- Delicious.
11:41
- Right, I'm gonna come down here where I
11:43
just get maybe buttermilk. - Mm!
11:46
I ain't even pretending. It's so good.
11:49
It really is good.
11:50
- You're not pretending?
11:51
- No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
11:54
You know when I'm pretending I'll go...
11:56
People say, "Is it good?" I'll go.
11:58
I won't even say anything.
11:59
But when I am vocal, it's the real deal. I love it.
12:03
I even like it warm the way it is.
12:05
- Mm-hmm. Mm. - It's perfect.
12:08
Mm, mm, mm!
12:11
Mm.
12:12
- It is delicious.
12:14
- It is. Perfect pie.
12:16
- And that was fresh cranberries.
12:18
- Mm-hmm.
12:19
- And raspberry-
12:21
- Jam.
12:22
- Jam. - Mm-hmm.
12:24
Mm!
12:24
- Could I borrow one more little pie?
12:26
- You can borrow as much as you want.
12:27
It's your pie. (laughs)
12:30
- I made it for you.
12:31
- Oh, well, I'm very, very thankful.
12:35
So much to be grateful for.
12:38
It's delicious.
12:40
(Joseph laughs)
12:42
- It's so good.
12:43
And this is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
12:45
- Excellent. Yes, yes.
12:46
- Especially if you use this topping.
12:49
- Mm-hmm.
12:49
- Or you can just use fresh whipped cream.
12:51
- You can. Yum.
12:53
- Just, buttermilk pie is good. I don't care how you eat it.
12:57
- That's true.
12:58
- Eat it naked or topped with fruit.
13:01
- (laughs) I'll always remember that.
13:02
- But I prefer to put on my clothes.
13:03
- Me too.
13:05
- I don't like eating it naked.
13:07
(both laughing)
13:09
Thank you, Joseph. I love you. - Oh, it's my honor.
13:11
I love you. (kisses)
