- Hey y'all, come on in this kitchen
0:03
'cause I'm cooking something good.
0:06
I'm cooking something from Paula Dean Magazine
0:09
and I just love, love, love those girls in the kitchen
0:15
that do all of our testing and everything
0:18
and this is from the magazine and it almost sounds
0:24
that my ladies have doing a take on a gooey butter cake.
0:30
So this is gonna be really good.
0:34
- [Theresa] It's the first day of spring, Paula.
0:36
- It's the first day of spring and high springy
0:38
is this recipe, Theresa?
0:40
- [Theresa] Oh, we waited and waited for it.
0:43
I needed to grate one teaspoon of lime zest
0:51
and if you need the juice,
0:54
you always wanna zest it first.
0:58
All right, so I've got my flour,
1:09
and now I've got a stick and a half of butter
1:12
or three fourths of a cup
1:15
and I need one teaspoon of lime zest, which I got.
1:19
This is a handy little tool right here
1:23
and we actually carry those in the stores, don't we?
1:25
- Yes. - It's handy dandy.
1:34
so I've cut my butter into half inch slices
1:45
and it's still pretty cold,
1:48
so I'm just gonna cut my butter
1:51
in till it looks like real small peas.
1:57
All right, the directions are to mix it till it's crumbly
2:03
and this is when we add our zest
2:09
and that looks like a nice, nice teaspoonful.
2:17
That zest is going to give that crust
2:24
a nice fresh little flavor, a little lime flavor.
2:30
The parchment paper should keep it from sticking,
2:35
but then again, it may not.
2:37
So I'm gonna spray this to make sure
2:41
I don't have any trouble getting it out.
2:53
So let's try that again.
3:05
This is gonna be a wonderful, it's actually,
3:11
the name is a creamy strawberry lime shortcake bar.
3:19
So it's gonna be, this piece right here
3:24
is where the shortbread comes in 'cause this is shortbread.
3:31
The warmth of your hand, you see how crumbly it was?
3:36
But the warmth of my hand
3:39
helps soften that butter even more
3:44
so you can really pack it in there.
3:48
So I've packed that in there very well.
3:51
It takes a little muscle to get it evenly done.
3:57
Okay, so in the oven, 350, 20 minutes.
4:02
20 minutes, this was in the oven,
4:05
and it's still not fully done,
4:10
but we are gonna bake it for another 30 minutes
4:13
after we cover it with our goods.
4:17
This is a 12 ounce jar of strawberry preserves,
4:22
not jelly, but preserves.
4:30
And depending on what brand you buy,
4:36
some can be thinner, some can be thicker.
4:45
I am gonna stick this in the microwave
4:48
because right now our crust is kind of delicate
4:52
since it's not totally chilled.
4:57
So I'm just going take the chill off of this
5:01
so it'll spread easily without messing up our crust.
5:05
I don't like the way it's spreading.
5:07
I'm gonna add just a little hot water
5:11
'cause I didn't wanna get this way hot.
5:20
And that'll make it spread easier.
5:23
Okay, here we go, I like that, I like the way that looks.
5:28
That is definitely spreadable.
5:34
Yum, this is gonna be so good.
5:42
Oh, yeah, see how that's doing?
5:44
While that was cooking, I had started beating up
5:48
three eight ounce packages of cream cheese.
5:53
So I got those mixed up
5:56
and now I'm gonna add a half a cup of sugar
6:03
or was that one cup of sugar?
6:05
- That was a cup. - A cup.
6:07
I thought it looked like a cup.
6:11
I thought it looked like a cup.
6:14
All right, I'm gonna add three eggs,
6:16
but I'm gonna add 'em one at the time.
6:20
All right, now after I add each egg,
6:22
I will be adding some of the lime juice.
6:27
We're about good to go.
6:30
All I've got to do is stir in the zest.
6:33
Now I don't add my zest
6:36
when I'm using my mixer because I found that the zest
6:41
gets all caught up in my beaters and I don't like that.
6:46
I wanna get every bit of that zest into my batter.
6:52
So I just stir that in.
6:58
So see that would be in all those beaters,
7:05
So that looks like one lime
7:11
will yield you about a teaspoon of zest.
7:24
I dunno if I could get,
7:25
I might get a little bit more,
7:27
but we gonna let that roll.
7:51
Starting to swallow very hard.
7:54
I might be afraid I'm gonna swallow my tongue
7:58
'cause this looks very, very good.
8:05
I hope that y'all will try this one.
8:17
Okay, I'm just gonna kind of even that out.
8:23
Now we're gonna bake this
8:25
for another, maybe 30 minutes, lemme double check.
8:35
I think this is cool enough.
8:40
And remember this is our strawberry,
8:46
all right, let me get it right,
8:47
our creamy strawberry lime shortcake bars.
8:56
Please come out for me 'cause I wanna bite so bad.
9:03
Come on, work with me, work with me, work with me.
9:12
It tried to work with me.
9:14
The parchment paper was a little short.
9:35
