0:00
- I love a whoopie pie.
0:05
Do y'all like whoopie pies?
0:07
They have been around since what,
0:09
the '40s maybe or the '50s?
0:13
I know I remember seeing 'em as a young child,
0:18
so at least 30 years ago. (laughs)
0:23
Is anybody buying that? (laughs)
0:26
I don't think anybody bought it, Eddie.
0:29
No, but they have been around a long time.
0:32
Personally, I don't care for the store boughts,
0:35
but I do love a homemade whoopie pie.
0:39
And I'm gonna share with y'all a recipe
0:42
that was in "Cooking with Paula Deen" magazine,
0:45
and it's a banana cream whoopie pie.
0:54
So I'm gon' start over here with my sugar,
0:59
and there'll be a link, y'all,
1:02
so you can get all the correct measurements.
1:08
Y'all just have to let me know
1:09
if y'all really prefer me really reading them out,
1:18
with me just telling you what it is
1:24
without giving y'all the correct amount
1:27
since you have a link.
1:31
I got butter on my sunglasses, on my reading glasses.
1:37
So I'm going to cream
1:41
my butter, my sugar, and my vanilla.
1:47
And I'm just gonna beat this until it's fluffy,
1:51
three or four minutes, something like that.
1:55
Now we're gonna add one egg at the time,
2:00
beating well after each.
2:03
While Theresa's doing that,
2:04
and she's giving me extra hands, y'all,
2:09
(beaters clink against bowl)
2:10
I'm gonna go ahead and blend in our flour.
2:17
I think it's two cups of all purpose, right, Theresa?
2:20
- [Theresa] Yes, ma'am.
2:21
- [Paula] And baking soda,
2:27
and a little salt. - [Theresa] I'm gonna go ahead
2:28
and add in the other egg. - [Paula] Yes, please.
2:32
All right, so we don't have to sift this.
2:33
If you use a whisk on this, it works real well,
2:38
almost as good as sifting it.
2:43
Okay, Theresa, while you're standing here. (laughs)
2:47
- I just need a spatula.
2:48
- You wanna finish helpin' me?
2:50
- [Theresa] Certainly. - Okay.
2:53
You know, that's the only thing
2:54
about using the hand mixer is you can't walk off.
3:00
- No, you cannot. - With a hand mixer.
3:03
- Hold on, I didn't get all of this.
3:04
- Okay, you gonna scrape your sides.
3:12
- [Theresa] You know, I gotta make sure
3:13
all that butter... - She has become
3:14
a regular Betty Crocker, y'all.
3:17
- It is scary. (Paula laughs)
3:25
That's pretty, Theresa.
3:28
Pretty cream and I'll scrape your bowl for ya,
3:31
how 'bout that? - Oh, look at this.
3:35
- [Theresa] Makes the dream work.
3:41
(taps spatula on bowl)
3:43
Okay, now we're gonna add a little milk.
3:48
We're gonna alternate our flour and our milk.
3:54
Gonna start it with flour and we're gonna end with flour.
3:58
All right, now we got our parchment paper over here.
4:01
Now the important thing is when you're doing whoopie pies,
4:06
it's very, very important
4:10
that when you first get started
4:13
make up your mind how big you want your whoopie pies to be.
4:19
And it's important that you makes every one of 'em
4:22
the same identical size.
4:27
- [Theresa] I guess my ice cream scoop's a little sick.
4:29
- (laughing) It darn sure is sick.
4:31
- [Theresa] But it works.
4:33
- Okay, I'm gonna give it almost spray,
4:37
so our batter will come out nice and easy.
4:44
All my ice cream scoops are in storage, y'all,
4:50
except for my favorite, favorite one
4:53
that my friends sent me.
4:57
All right, so that's what I have to remember
4:59
about that size right there.
5:03
(parchment paper crunches)
5:07
I have made so many of these in my children's lifetime.
5:15
I would make 'em and I'd wrap 'em in Saran wrap
5:19
and put them in the fridge,
5:24
and they'd bring all the neighborhood kids in.
5:27
(parchment paper crunches)
5:28
- [Eddie] That's a great color.
5:30
- [Paula] Isn't this a pretty color?
5:34
- [Theresa] It was my good mixing skills.
5:36
- [Eddie] Your mixing skills?
5:37
- [Theresa] Mm-hmm. - [Paula] Yes, it was.
5:40
We've got this sheet ready.
5:42
We're gonna put it in the oven,
5:43
350 preheated for 12 minutes
5:47
or whenever your oven says they're ready.
5:53
Okie-doke, we gonna finish up
5:58
our banana whoopie pies.
6:02
Now I'm just putting these in a little lemon juice
6:08
because you know how quickly bananas can turn.
6:14
And these are gonna be going in the refrigerator.
6:19
I'll store 'em in the refrigerator.
6:20
So I do want 'em to last a little while.
6:25
All right, now to get at filling for our whoopie pie,
6:29
this was so, so simple.
6:32
You mixed a cup of milk, a half a cup.
6:36
Was it a half a cup of half and half?
6:40
And then one small banana cream pudding mix.
6:53
Can't hardly see no more.
6:55
Now all you have to do is mix that together real good.
7:00
And then you put it in the refrigerator and let it sit
7:02
for about an hour and this is what you're gonna get.
7:06
(bowl clanks on counter)
7:08
Okay, so you're filling will get really, really stiff.
7:15
Now you wanna turn the bottom of your whoopie pie up,
7:23
and then we're gonna put
7:30
Are you guys ready for a whoopie pie?
7:35
- [Henry] Actually, yes.
7:36
- [Paula] Who wants a whoopie pie, you?
7:40
You do? - [Henry] Yes.
7:41
- [Paula] All right, not I'm not putting
7:42
as much on that side, uh oh. (laughs)
7:46
I'm not putting as much whoopie on the other side.
7:52
- [Henry] Yes, please.
7:53
- Y'all, this is Henry.
7:54
This is Michelle's oldest son.
7:59
(laughs) Smile when you tell 'em hey.
8:02
You're so sweet and so friendly.
8:04
All right, put you a little of the cream
8:06
on the bottom of your cookie or your cake.
8:13
Okay, you'll wanna spread that out just a little bit.
8:19
Okay, and now we'll put you some bananas.
8:25
Now spread you just a little bit of your whoopie on this.
8:35
You wanna put a little bit more, spread it on out.
8:40
Okay, you want one more piece of banana.
8:43
- Sure. - [Paula] Okay.
8:47
There's your whoopie pie. (laughs)
8:51
There's your whoopie pie.
8:58
- And tell us what it tastes like.
8:59
Come around here. (laughs)
9:03
What does it taste like?
9:06
- That's exactly right.
9:07
That's what it's supposed to taste like. (smacks lips)
9:10
It's good, isn't it? (laughs)
9:15
- Instead of an ice cream sandwich,
9:16
it tastes like a banana sandwich.
9:18
- You know what, I love banana sandwiches,
9:22
love, love banana sandwiches.
9:25
So like I said, it's got Henry's stamp of approval on it.
9:29
So loving best dishes to all of y'all out there.
9:35
John, come have a whoopie pie.
9:40
You don't want mushrooms on your whoopie pie, do you?
9:44
Didn't you tell me you didn't like mushrooms?
9:47
- Mm-hm. (Paula laughs)
9:50
- But you like bananas, don't ya?
9:53
- All right, let's sit that right there,
9:55
and then we gonna put a little cream
9:58
on the bottom of that one.
10:02
This has got gimme swallowing hard. (laughs)
10:06
- Is that vanilla flavor?
10:07
What is it? - Mm-hmm, taste it.
10:10
- Banana pudding, yummy.
10:22
Two five star. - A hundred.
10:24
- A hundred? (laughs)
10:30
Oh, they don't like it.
10:31
They love it. (giggles)
10:33
Thank you, boys for being my Guinea pigs.
10:38
- You a Guinea's Guinea pig.
10:39
- [Eddie] Say thank you.
10:41
- Thank you. - Thank you a lot.
10:43
- You're so welcome a lot.
