Well, hey, y'all Bobby Deen here.
0:02
I'm kind of filling in for my mom,
0:04
and that's appropriate because today I'm doing a recipe
0:07
from Deen Brothers Recipes from the Road Cookbook.
0:11
That is a great cookbook.
0:12
It's about, I don't know, 15 years old or more.
0:15
Jamie and I had a show
0:16
called Road Tasted where we traveled all over the country
0:19
and met all kinds of great people
0:21
and visited all kinds of just super fantastic businesses.
0:24
And all the recipes from that book
0:26
are inspired from our travels.
0:28
And today we are going to make an upside down pear gingerbread,
0:33
fill in the blank. Is it a cake?
0:36
I'm not exactly sure which you be the judge.
0:38
Well, let's get started.
0:39
What I can tell you is that it's super simple,
0:42
like so many of our recipes,
0:45
so easy to make. So let's get started.
0:47
I've got a little Pyrex casserole dish,
0:51
and I'm going to begin
0:53
by spreading butter all over.
0:57
My mom's got some sauce and she keeps a butter bell
1:01
on her counter and I love them so much.
1:04
And it's a great way to keep your butter nice and soft.
1:08
So what we're going to do is spread
1:12
with an offset spatula, which I also love.
1:16
This one's a little flimsy, but that's okay.
1:20
So I've spread the butter all over the casserole
1:23
dish, and I tried to cover every inch of it, even up the sides.
1:26
And that's because when that butter melts in the oven,
1:29
boy, it's all going to run right down into our upside down
1:32
pear, gingerbread cake, cobbler,
1:33
whatever you would like to call it.
1:36
The next step in the recipe is brown sugar.
1:40
And I'm just going to sprinkle
1:41
it all over the bottom.
1:46
I certainly can't that it is Christmas 2023 this year, as
1:52
did last year, as did the year before, is just flying by.
1:57
So gingerbread all over the place.
1:58
Ginger, ginger, ginger.
1:59
Excuse me. Brown sugar.
2:01
I'm thinking gingerbread because I'm getting ahead of myself.
2:03
Brown sugar all over the bottom to that
2:08
I'm going to add a layer of pears.
2:11
I really, really like pears.
2:16
I'm finding that the older I get,
2:18
the more traditional I become.
2:20
Like, I'm already listening to Christmas music
2:27
cake mix, boxed cake mix.
2:29
This is gingerbread cake and cookie mix.
2:32
It's, you know, this is seasonal,
2:35
so you probably won't find this on your shelves except for
2:38
at this time of year. So I'm going to
2:40
just make it by the directions, which is an egg
2:42
and a little bit of water and I'll mix and stuff.
2:45
we'll take a quick break and we'll be right back.
2:49
I've got our gingerbread
2:51
cake mix all mixed up.
2:53
And now from there, very
3:00
pour it into the pan.
3:01
And remember, first thing we did was we rubbed
3:05
butter all over and around the edges of this pan.
3:08
Then I sprinkled some brown sugar
3:10
into the bottom of the pan, added some pears to it,
3:19
of gingerbread cake mix.
3:20
And this already smells
3:27
my gosh, man, I don't know about you,
3:28
but I love gingerbread.
3:34
cinnamon and all these wonderful
3:37
spices and flavors that come at this time of year.
3:40
Now, look how simple that was.
3:41
Took me about 2 minutes to put this together.
3:43
I've got an oven going at 350.
3:45
We're going to pop it in
3:46
and we'll check in it in about 15 or 20 minutes.
3:48
So we'll take a break and come.
3:56
And it smells even better.
4:01
I wish that you could smell this.
4:04
so we're going to put it on a cooling rack for a few minutes.
4:07
I've already done the toothpick test on it,
4:10
and the toothpick came out clean.
4:12
So now we're just going to let it sit here and cool.
4:14
So we'll come back in a few minutes and I'll see them.
4:17
Beautiful. Our pear gingerbread.
4:21
It's a cake. You say cake? It does.
4:27
So I'm running a butter knife around the edges
4:30
in hopes that we don't have a catastrophe here.
4:34
When I turn this over and flop it out,
4:36
because this is an upside down cake.
4:38
So here we go. Ready?
4:45
Yum. Clean and beautiful.
4:55
you should see the faces in here right now going.
5:03
And the butter did its job. And look, it's
5:06
just pulling a little bit inside those pears and steam.
5:10
The smell of that gingerbread is so wonderful.
5:15
Merry Christmas Everybody.
5:18
Looks great. So make this at home.
5:20
I promise. It's great.
