- Hey, y'all come on into the kitchen.
0:03
Michael has just walked in, he just got him from work,
0:07
and he's here for a few minutes.
0:08
He done been to the grocery store.
0:10
- Hey, y'all.
0:11
- We just went last night.
0:14
We got a great big, old buggy full of stuff.
0:18
Where's mine?
0:20
Oh, there it is.
0:22
I'm just checking.
0:25
Michael, I am fixing to make a recipe that a friend sent in.
0:32
She's is from, where is she from?
0:34
Did she tell me where she was from?
0:39
She doesn't tell me,
0:41
but her name is Laurie Duffy,
0:44
and she has sent us a recipe
0:46
that she knows is 45 years old now.
0:50
And, the lady that gave her the recipe called it
0:54
cinnamon donuts, because that's what they kind of,
0:57
taste like,
0:58
but they're actually cooked in muffin tins.
1:01
And, she says, "Dear Paula.
1:04
I want to start out by saying
1:05
how much your videos have meant to me
1:07
during this whole pandemic time.
1:10
My family has all gotten used to hearing your voice,
1:13
and Eddie and Teresa's when they come down the stairs.
1:18
I've gotten so much joy out of watching."
1:20
And, I thank you so much, Laurie,
1:23
because that was my intention.
1:25
To be there, to keep company,
1:27
to some of those folks out there that was quarantined alone,
1:33
and so thank you for sharing those kinds of words with me.
1:40
So, this was shared many, many, many, many years ago,
1:46
and it was sort of, it was at sort of,
1:48
a church gathering, which, you know,
1:51
there's some fine food at those church church meals
1:57
on the ground, those picnics,
2:00
those women to the church house,
2:03
they know they know how to cook.
2:08
And so, here we go.
2:09
It's one 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour.
2:15
I'm just going to put it right in there.
2:19
And, it calls for a 1/2 a teaspoon of salt,
2:25
one 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.
2:29
Powder, not soda, but powder.
2:35
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
2:41
And, we're gonna just take our whisk
2:47
and whisk that all together until it's incorporated.
2:52
And, our next step is to take 1/3 cup of solid shortening,
3:02
and we're gonna cut that in to our flour mixture.
3:09
And, I looked in my drawer
3:10
and I can't find my pastry cutter,
3:13
so I'm just going to try to do it with this fork.
3:18
I might have to invite a knife to come in too
3:21
on this action.
3:26
So, we're starting off like we're making biscuits.
3:35
So, this will take just a few minutes.
3:36
If you can find Joe pastry cutter,
3:40
you might be able to do it quicker than what I'm doing,
3:45
but it won't take me just a few minutes,
3:55
Think I'm gonna go ahead and add our sugar,
3:59
cut that along with the dry ingredients.
4:04
And, that was 1/2 cup of sugar, y'all.
4:09
Just in time for you to cook supper.
4:15
So, we just gonna stir in our milk,
4:19
and I really got that shortening cut in there real good
4:25
using that fork.
4:28
So, we just want to mix this until it's moist, you know,
4:32
muffins the recipes will tell you not to over mix a muffin.
4:41
You want to just mix them until there's no moisture.
4:48
Right, now this is supposed to make a dozen, right?
4:54
How many is it supposed to make, Laurie?
5:00
It's supposed to make one dozen,
5:01
so apparently she doesn't overfill the muffin tins.
5:07
So, let's see if we can get it separated into those cups,
5:15
and get it right the first time.
5:26
So, I'll start by doing that,
5:27
and then we'll turn around and come back,
5:31
and add more
5:34
if there's any left to add.
5:47
This batter is nice and thick,
5:49
so it's pretty easy to scoop up.
5:57
It's not dripping everywhere, I like that.
6:11
- [Michael] I love the pictures.
6:13
- Oh, do you like them?
6:17
Which is your favorite?
6:19
- [Michael] Well, I love that one that Holly sent in.
6:26
- With who?
6:27
- [Michael] Holly.
6:28
- Oh, I'm telling you that deep (inaudible).
6:33
- [Teresa] Maybe we could show it?
6:34
- Yes. I don't see why we couldn't.
6:38
We are having y'all-
6:41
- [Eddie] I think it's more, I'm the boss.
6:45
- [Teresa] Yeah, she's the boss for sure.
6:49
- You got to get one in here when you fish.
6:51
- Oh, it's over there.
6:52
You didn't see it.
6:53
Oh, no.
6:54
The one of Henry, he's playing his saxophone.
6:56
I wanted that one.
6:59
- [Michael] And can you hear it?
7:01
It doesn't do it justice until you hear it.
7:05
- Oh, it so terrible.
7:08
He's having trouble playing his little saxophone.
7:15
So, did y'all show everybody the picture?
7:19
Eddie has found this place to order pictures from,
7:23
and y'all, it's so reasonable.
7:26
I mean, those pictures would cost me thousands of dollars
7:30
and I mean, what do they run a piece, Eddie?
7:34
- [Eddie] Well, you know, I catch it at different times.
7:37
I don't know the exact price
7:38
because I always catch it with a sale code.
7:41
- Yes, with the sales code.
7:43
Bye, Mikey.
7:44
- [Michael] Bye.
7:45
- I'll have you a donut waiting.
7:47
- [Michael] Tell my fans I have to go to work,
7:49
I have another job.
7:50
- Okay, Michael for me to tell his fans he has another job.
7:54
- I have another job, other than acting.
7:57
- [Eddie] See you on the road.
8:00
- He is so goofy.
8:02
- [Teresa] Thank goodness he has another job.
8:04
- Yes, thank goodness he has another job,
8:07
'cause we might go hungry if his only job was acting,
8:13
you think Teresa?
8:19
But so anyway, this place, we've got one huge wall,
8:24
like, in a hallway, y'all at our remodeled home
8:30
that we're moving in in the next couple of weeks,
8:33
and it's just a grandkids wall.
8:36
So, I've got two or three pictures
8:39
of each of our grandchildren,
8:41
and that's all it's going to be is just one wall
8:43
full of children's.
8:45
And, I can't hardly wait.
8:47
We got some cute pictures.
8:49
Okay. In the oven.
8:52
Can't remember what Laurie said.
8:55
- [Teresa] 350 for 20 minutes.
9:00
- She said delicious served with coffee or cold milk.
9:03
- [Eddie] Do you know if those,
9:04
I'm curious to see if they turn out those sugar biscuits
9:09
that we had up in Albany, from those two girls that-
9:13
- Oh yeah, it's going to be much like that Eddie,
9:17
because when they're done, we're going to pull them out,
9:20
dip them into melted butter,
9:23
and then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
9:25
So, it might be much like the sisters in Albany.
9:29
- [Eddie] Sugar biscuits.
9:30
- Sugar biscuits.
9:32
Let's see, bake about 20 minutes, 350.
9:37
Okay, our muffins are ready.
9:42
And, Laurie tells us that they will be pale.
9:47
So, they are pale, and looking so good.
9:52
All right, I've got to turn my oven off.
10:03
So, now we are to,
10:07
let me see if she says to let them cool for a second.
10:16
While still warm roll muffins into the melted butter
10:20
and then into the cinnamon sugar.
10:24
So, I've got a teaspoon of cinnamon,
10:28
and 3/4 of a cup of sugar,
10:33
one 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon,
10:36
and one stick of melted butter.
10:40
So, we just want to mix that up real good.
10:46
That's going to be nice and cinnamony,
10:49
easy for me to say.
10:53
Okay.
10:58
Now, this is the part I like.
11:01
Dunking them in the butter.
11:06
Oops.
11:08
Oh, I sure do hate that happened.
11:11
A double dip.
11:15
And then, we just roll it in the cinnamon sugar.
11:23
Looks very, very good.
11:27
I just want to taste one while their warm, you know?
11:33
Okay.
11:43
Yum.
11:50
- [Teresa] Oh my gosh.
11:51
I know I say it every time, but like,
11:54
- But like, what?
11:54
- [Teresa] I said, I know I say oh my gosh every time.
11:57
- I know, me too.
11:58
- [Teresa] We have such good people
12:00
with such great recipes.
12:01
- I know it, and I just love it.
12:03
I love it when the women share.
12:06
- [Eddie] You must have to eat them pretty,
12:07
while they're hot though or else the butter will...
12:10
- It will just soak in.
12:14
- [Teresa] I have to tell you shortening just makes it.
12:18
- Uh huh, it does.
12:20
- [Teresa] I find that anything you've done
12:21
with shortening-
12:22
- Shortening, yes.
12:27
That's right.
12:34
Oh, I hate Michael had to go back to work,
12:37
but he's on a diet anyways, so.
12:44
- [Teresa] (inaudible) being good.
12:46
We don't like those kinds of people.
12:55
- Okay, I got to have another bite.
13:03
So good.
13:05
- [Teresa] You're right. You could eat this like,
13:07
this could be breakfast, this could be a dessert.
13:10
- Wonderful breakfast.
13:15
With ice cream, or whipped cream.
13:19
- [Teresa] I know you said you'd have to eat them warm,
13:20
and I kind of agree with you Eddie on that one,
13:21
but I guess you could put them also in little baggies
13:24
and freeze them?
13:26
- Oh yes.
13:28
- [Teresa] And maybe not do your sugar,
13:29
butter, and sugar until...
13:32
- You have to do it while they're hot.
13:34
You have to dip it while they're hot.
13:37
So, that means you'd have to put them back in the oven
13:41
to heat them up.
13:44
- [Eddie] Well, the recipe only makes a dozen, right?
13:46
- Yeah.
13:47
- [Eddie] So, you can eat a dozen any time.
13:50
- Yeah, that's right.
14:02
- So, y'all have to try Laurie's recipe for,
14:08
what do they call them? What kind of donuts?
14:11
- [Teresa] She calls them cinnamon sugar, cinnamon donuts.
14:14
- Cinnamon donuts.
14:15
Okay, I got one more to do,
14:18
and it just did make it with the cinnamon sugar, y'all.
14:27
Come on out of there.
14:34
Maybe I should run this more in a little more butter,
14:37
since there's-
14:39
- [Teresa] I'm surprised you didn't double dip.
14:41
- Well, the very first one I did, but it fell back in there.
14:47
- [Teresa] No, I meant the one you were eating.
14:48
I'm surprised you didn't double dip.
14:50
- Well, I didn't think about it Teresa,
14:53
but now you've said something.
15:05
Look here, that's mine.
15:09
- [Teresa] You know, I support you, I support you.
15:19
- That is so good, y'all.
15:21
Double dipped.
15:29
Wow.
15:35
Come over here and double dip, Teresa.
15:37
- [Teresa] I already ate mine.
15:39
- It's so good, y'all.
15:41
Laurie, thank you so much, honey.
15:43
And, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of folks out there
15:48
enjoying this wonderful, easy, delicious recipe.
15:52
Thanks for sharing.
15:54
Love and best dishes, y'all.
