- Well, hey y'all.
0:02
Y'all excuse me, I'm a little under the weather today.
0:07
Somebody gave me old, nasty cold.
0:10
And I hate a summer cold.
0:13
I just hate it.
0:15
'Cause I have to run faster from my car to the house,
0:18
to get cool.
0:20
You know, the hot and the cold.
0:21
I don't like it.
0:23
But I'm so glad y'all are peeking in today
0:27
because I am making one of my favorite pies.
0:31
I started making these pies in 1971
0:39
or 72
0:41
and it quickly became one of my all time top pie recipes.
0:47
And you know, I don't know that I've ever done it
0:52
before, on video.
0:54
Do y'all know?
0:55
- [Theresa] We have not.
0:56
- I didn't think so.
0:58
I don't remember doing it.
1:00
Alright, now the recipe
1:04
is in the "Cooking Bible".
1:09
Okay, I've got to carefully unroll this.
1:14
And I have a wonderful recipe for ye,
1:18
if you wanna make your own pie crust.
1:21
But, you know, if you have a day like, you know,
1:24
I want this pie but I just don't feel like making it.
1:28
So,
1:31
this is a perfect day for me to use a prepared crust.
1:35
And I really do,
1:38
I like the refrigerated
1:41
pie crust because I can put it in my own dish.
1:47
You know what I mean?
1:49
And it just looks good.
1:50
Now I'm gonna roll this out just a little bit
1:53
because I wanna get a little hangover.
1:58
Not that kinda hangover.
2:00
I don't want that kind of hangover, y'all.
2:04
Oh.
2:07
Like I said, I'm just gonna roll it out a little bit
2:12
and then I'm gonna transfer it
2:15
to my
2:18
pie plate.
2:28
My fingernails are
2:32
cutting up my pie crust.
2:35
All right, I'm just gonna.
2:38
I was gonna tuck this under but you know,
2:42
I think this pie plate is a little bigger.
2:45
So I'm just gonna crimp it.
2:49
And you can do it any way you want to.
2:53
The easy way is with a floured fork,
2:56
you know and just fork it.
2:57
Just fork that edge.
3:04
But it's your pie,
3:05
so you do it just exactly how you want to, sister.
3:11
Okay.
3:13
Now I'm gonna need our beads.
3:15
- [Theresa] I was gonna say.
3:16
And I see you have little beads but I don't.
3:18
- Yeah 'cause I just used them on a pie crust.
3:22
- [Theresa] I don't see the bead beads.
3:24
- Well they're up there.
3:25
Let's see and I think I put 'em back
3:27
where they normally stay, Theresa.
3:31
Yeah, those beads are fine.
3:34
- [Theresa] These are?
3:35
- Yeah.
3:36
Yeah, they're fine.
3:39
I'm gonna get a piece of parchment paper,
3:46
if I can find some.
3:50
I don't see any parchment paper
3:52
but I've got wax paper sheets, so I'm gonna.
4:02
Oh.
4:06
I'm going to prick the bottom of this crust,
4:13
so hopefully it won't, you know, bubble up on me.
4:19
So, I'm gonna put my wax paper
4:22
and then I'm gonna dump out my beads.
4:28
Alright, let's see.
4:31
I can't remember how this darn things open.
4:38
I thought it slid but, what do I remember?
4:42
No, it pops open.
4:44
Alright, so we're just going to dump those out
4:47
and I'm going to try to distribute them.
4:51
And we're gonna bake this pie crust for about 20 minutes.
4:56
But while our pie crust is baking,
5:00
we gonna start on the filling, which is so good.
5:03
So good.
5:04
There you go my girlfriend.
5:06
- Thank you very much.
5:07
- You're so welcome.
5:08
Thank you very much.
5:09
No, thank you.
5:12
All right.
5:13
So.
5:16
We're going to get a nice sized pan.
5:22
I think I'll go ahead and do it in this one
5:24
'cause it's a non-stick, y'all.
5:27
But you know, I again like to spray,
5:28
whether they're non-stick or not.
5:31
That just reassures me
5:35
that it's not going to stick on me.
5:39
So let's go ahead and get started
5:41
because this is gonna have to cool completely.
5:45
And I'm gonna start with my,
5:50
nope, that's big's flour.
5:51
I'm gonna start with my sugar.
5:54
I'm gonna start with the dry ingredients.
5:56
My sugar.
6:00
This is cornstarch, isn't it?
6:01
- [Theresa] Yes ma'am.
6:02
- Okay.
6:03
That's what I thought it was.
6:04
Alright, so I wanna put the dry ingredients together first.
6:13
Because if you get those all mixed together good, you know,
6:18
it'll just prevent any lumping for ye.
6:22
All right.
6:23
Now I need two cups of heavy whipping cream,
6:30
which, this is two cups.
6:32
Pint is two cups.
6:34
Doesn't that make it nice?
6:36
And you don't wanna just dump this in,
6:38
you wanna slowly mix it together
6:48
'cause it's just easier to control, you know,
6:51
if you just mix a little bit at the time.
7:10
Okay, so now we can speed it up
7:14
a little bit 'cause we've got it mixed up good.
7:24
All right, now we're gonna add our milk.
7:27
And I'm gonna
7:32
use a spoon, to make sure I'm in all the crevices
7:36
and cracks in this pot.
7:40
So that's one cup of milk,
7:43
the two cups of heavy cream,
7:48
the salt.
7:51
I'm supposed to add that into the dry ingredients
7:54
but that won't hurt.
7:56
That won't hurt.
7:58
Alright, now I'm going to
8:02
beat up my eggs.
8:06
Here we go.
8:06
Put all of this in the pot together
8:08
so we don't have to worry about tempering our eggs.
8:14
'Cause this way we won't have scrambled eggs,
8:18
since we started out with them in the pot.
8:26
Look at those beautiful orange yolks
8:29
our little chickens give us.
8:33
All right.
8:39
It turned our filling
8:44
pure yellow.
8:52
So pretty.
8:53
Now after it gets nice and thick.
9:04
This side has got where it's so aggravating.
9:17
Now why is that thing still clicking, y'all?
9:20
Okay.
9:23
You know what?
9:26
Oh, okay.
9:28
I had turned that one on, I didn't know it.
9:30
So we'll cook it on that one.
9:35
And that went off.
9:37
Y'all, this stove
9:41
is
9:45
probably 22 years old, y'all.
9:47
So.
9:52
It probably needs to see the doctor.
9:54
You think?
9:56
- [Theresa] No, it's misbehaving.
9:57
- Yes.
10:02
But, you know, it's at that age where it can be bad.
10:08
All right, so this is gonna take a few minutes
10:10
and we wanna make sure that we don't get distracted.
10:15
That we cook this
10:19
nice and slow, you know, once it starts to boil
10:23
and then I'm gonna get in there
10:24
and I'm gonna stir, stir, stir.
10:27
Our custard is beautiful, y'all.
10:30
You'll wanna cook it for like six minutes.
10:33
But I'm gonna take it out of that.
10:35
Look at that.
10:36
Is that not beautiful?
10:38
Is that not gorgeous?
10:43
And it looks like I've already added the butter
10:46
but I haven't.
10:49
So a little bit of butter
10:53
and about a teaspoon and a half of vanilla extract.
11:01
It's gonna make it so good.
11:04
Now you could actually make your custard
11:07
the night before, just to make it easy on yourself
11:11
and you won't have to
11:15
wait and let anything cool.
11:17
And our pie crust.
11:19
Oh, I pulled out the book that this recipe is in,
11:25
so you could see it.
11:26
It's a great little book.
11:29
This is cooling now.
11:31
And it did wonderful.
11:36
So I just wanna
11:39
get my butter and my vanilla mixed in there real good.
11:44
Alright, so if you decide
11:45
to make your custard earlier in the day or
11:49
the night before,
11:51
you'll want to make sure that you take a piece
11:54
of plastic wrap
12:02
and you gonna wanna just press it
12:06
down so that it's laying on top of your custard,
12:10
so it won't get that old film on it.
12:12
You know how custards can get a film on them?
12:18
- [Theresa] Yes.
12:19
- There we go.
12:22
So in the refrigerator.
12:24
And, when it's totally and completely
12:29
cold, we'll finish up our pie.
12:32
We're gonna start putting our
12:35
banana cream pie together now.
12:38
Oh my gosh, I hadn't made this in forever and a day.
12:43
And I can't believe, as much as I love it.
12:48
I wanna get all the strings off the bananas
12:50
and, you know, naturally it left a little gift for me,
12:54
a little brown banana.
12:57
So I'll make sure I cut that out.
13:01
You know, it's too bad that you can't see through that skin
13:05
and see what you really got, you know.
13:21
Hopefully they're not all like that.
13:25
Now I've got four bananas,
13:28
so we just wanna make sure that we have enough to
13:35
put on the top of our pie, after we put
13:38
our whipped cream topping on it.
13:41
We're not gonna do a meringue,
13:43
we're gonna do just a fresh whipped topping.
13:55
And I've got my lemon juice.
13:57
I stuck my lemon
13:59
in the microwave for a minute,
14:03
so it can produce more juice.
14:07
I put that one in the microwave, so here we go.
14:15
And all these seeds in it.
14:22
It really makes a difference
14:26
if you put your lemon in the microwave.
14:31
Makes a big difference.
14:34
All right, so I'm gonna put
14:37
a layer of bananas
14:41
on the bottom.
14:52
And just according to, you know, if you like less fruit,
14:59
just put less fruit.
15:04
If you like more fruit, pile it on.
15:08
All right.
15:13
And our custard got real, real cool.
15:26
Okay, so I'm gonna put a layer
15:30
of our cream.
15:35
I'm gonna make like two layers.
15:36
There'll be two layers of custard
15:39
and two layers of bananas, y'all.
15:42
Okay, there we go.
15:45
I'm gonna cover this with plastic wrap.
15:47
I'm gonna put it in the refrigerator
15:48
and let our custard get even colder.
15:52
And then I'm gonna top it with
15:55
fresh whipped, sweetened, heavy cream.
15:59
And then I'll top it with just a few more banana slices
16:04
right before I go to serve it.
16:06
I wish y'all were here.
16:09
Alright y'all, you can look at me and tell
16:11
that it's a new day.
16:15
Because, I told y'all I was having company coming in.
16:19
Well, not really company but they're family, so.
16:23
Anyway, I decided I did not want
16:25
to put the whipping cream on this banana cream pie
16:30
until I really wanted to serve it
16:32
'cause you know, it can kinda get limp-like.
16:35
So here's my company.
16:36
Come on here George, tell everybody hey.
16:39
- Hey y'all.
16:40
- [Paula] Kelly.
16:41
- Hey y'all.
16:42
- Y'all have never met Kelly.
16:45
- Hey, ya'll
16:46
- That's his beautiful, beautiful bride.
16:51
Alright, George, I know it, I'm hung up here.
16:56
Thank you.
16:57
Alright, so y'all, I'm whipping up two cups of heavy cream,
17:01
to pile on there.
17:03
And I put a quarter of a cup of sugar,
17:07
per cup of whipping cream.
17:10
Isn't that delicious?
17:12
So, right before we serve it,
17:17
I'm gonna slice a little bit more banana.
17:22
But you know, bananas turn brown, so.
17:24
- [George] So fast.
17:24
- [Paula] Yes.
17:26
- [George] Bananas are my favorite fruit.
17:27
- [Paula] Look at that.
17:29
Okay, well, guess what?
17:31
You got your bananas.
17:33
- Okay.
17:34
I'm so good with that.
17:35
Thank you.
17:36
- There you go.
17:37
- Okay.
17:38
- All right, so, you can't have any of this
17:40
until after supper.
17:41
- I can have this, right?
17:42
- Yes, you can have that.
17:44
And you can have this and you can have this.
17:50
I told George that he couldn't have him banana cream pie
17:53
until he fixed his dinner.
17:55
I want y'all to look at my plate.
17:57
These are the plates that were in my grandmother
18:00
and granddaddy Paul's restaurant, at River Bend.
18:03
And this is the first plate I ever ate off of.
18:08
And we're all eating off of that plate.
18:10
And it tastes so much better.
18:12
- Tastes just like it should.
18:13
- Yes.
18:15
So as soon as he cleans his plate,
18:18
he can have some pie.
18:19
Here's George's plate.
18:24
He can have some banana cream pie.
18:26
- And here's George, right here.
18:27
(everyone laughs)
18:29
Here you go.
18:34
That's delicious.
18:35
- [Producer] Was it worth eating all your vegetables?
18:38
- I'm gonna try not to.
18:39
I'm gonna try not to go get another plate of food
18:42
so I get another piece of pie.
18:44
(everyone laughs)
18:47
- All right.
18:48
- [George] Okay.
18:49
That's delicious.
18:50
- Isn't it yummy?
18:51
I started making this pie, gosh, when my kids were,
18:55
I think Jamie was in the first grade and Bobby was.
18:58
- [George] Who gets the big piece?
19:00
- Well, it's not as big as it looks.
19:08
I can't see good, I'm so sorry.
19:11
- [George] It's okay.
19:12
- Gimme my pie back.
19:14
You do whatever you want,
19:15
just know that I'll be back at midnight.
19:17
- You'll be back at midnight.
19:19
Listen, Michael, griping.
19:21
- [Producer] They have a lock on that refrigerator.
19:24
(George laughs)
19:27
- [George] Oh, it's good, okay.
19:32
- Good pie.
19:33
Aunt Peggy, would you like some pie?
19:35
- No thank you, just yet.
19:37
- Okay.
19:37
- Are you ready for some?
19:40
- I was, Paula took it from me.
19:42
- 'Cause you was griping.
19:45
Gripers don't get dessert.
19:46
- I don't think that's them rules.
19:49
(everyone laughs)
19:52
Aunt Peggy
19:54
says that Michael is her main man.
19:58
And nobody needs to mess with him.
20:01
So she doesn't like it when I mess with him.
20:05
