I'm Bobby here on my mom's YouTube channel.
0:03
And today I'm gonna show you a very
0:05
easy blueberry skillet cake.
0:09
in cast iron and I love using simple ingredients.
0:12
And one of those simple ingredients is canned biscuits.
0:15
These are great, and they're fun
0:17
because sometimes they scare the mess out
0:19
of you when you open 'em they pop and they're really loud.
0:22
But let's start this cake by making a strudel.
0:24
So walk over here with me
0:26
to my mom's bakery or baking pantry.
0:31
She's got a great little food processor here
0:34
and our strudel is going to be just a few simple items here:
0:38
butter, sugar, flour, almonds, and a little bit of cinnamon.
0:48
So combine all these ingredients into the food processor.
1:02
This is a small food processor.
1:14
And I want this to be kind of chunky, a little crumbly.
1:25
Yeah, that's looking good a little bit more maybe.
1:39
All right, that looks perfect.
1:43
See if you can get a look at it.
1:46
Beautiful strudel, and we'll put this right on top.
1:49
Okay. So back to the stove top
2:00
just gonna turn the stove on medium-low,
2:05
and we'll start with some butter,
2:08
and a little brown sugar,
2:14
and it won't take long before these things get going.
2:20
For anybody who has never cooked in cast iron,
2:25
they're so wonderful and so versatile.
2:28
And we've got a couple that I think my brother has got one
2:31
of my great grandma Paul's cast iron skillet
2:34
at his house that is golly,
2:37
that thing's well over a hundred years old.
2:39
They become so well seasoned,
2:42
and it's just a great tool
2:43
for all kinds of all kinds of cooking.
2:45
You can use 'em on the grill.
2:48
You can do 'em in the oven obviously.
2:52
Or you can just cook right on top of your stove.
2:57
So we're gonna get this butter and sugar melted together.
3:01
And while that's happening, let's go ahead
3:05
and open up our canned biscuits here.
3:27
Oh, thank you so much, my strudel.
3:28
- [Woman] You're welcome.
3:52
Canned biscuits are just fine by me.
3:59
All right. Brown sugar and butter,
4:01
that's a good base for anything.
4:19
Great, that's melted.
4:23
And so now I'm just gonna arrange our biscuits
4:41
and you can see what's happening here.
4:45
You know where we're going with this.
4:55
I'm gonna have to do a little arranging
4:58
to make this perfect.
4:59
But it's not overcrowded, which is good.
5:11
And voilà, look at that.
5:14
Ooh, this is going to be good.
5:24
Okay. On top of that we'll just go ahead
5:28
and set our blueberries.
5:31
Look at these big plump blueberries.
5:36
My kids love blueberries.
5:40
I I've got a, I've got one,
5:42
Olivia will just eat any berry.
5:45
Like raspberries, she wants the whole container.
5:49
She'll sit and just eat the whole container of raspberries,
5:52
do the same thing with blueberries.
5:56
we've got a beautiful garden with some fresh tomatoes.
5:59
She'll just eat all the tomatoes right off the vine,
6:02
makes me pretty happy, really.
6:07
These are, we might have more than enough blueberries.
6:14
- [Woman] Do you have enough, Bobby?
6:41
Now you could use blackberries,
6:42
you could use raspberries, you know, no rules.
6:47
So whatever you like you could use.
6:50
And now to that, we'll just add our strudel
6:54
that we made, right on top.
6:56
Just kind of crumble it up
6:58
and remember that's got the butter in it
7:02
That butter's gonna melt right on top
7:04
and just be so nice with the sugar and the flour.
7:09
This is going to taste so good.
7:13
And this is taking me about five minutes to prep this.
7:17
and it's gonna cook really quickly too.
7:21
This will be a nice dessert
7:23
or breakfast with a cup of coffee
7:30
It's a very fall recipe,
8:01
I'll bet this is gonna go fast in this house,
8:11
I know once Michael gets whiff of it.
8:14
Okay. That's it, into the oven.
8:20
Into the oven for about 30 minutes.
8:23
Yep. 375 for about 30 minutes.
8:26
So let's go pop this cast iron skillet in the oven.
8:29
Okay. Everybody, our blueberry skillet cake is out the oven.
8:32
This cooked at 350 for about 30 minutes.
8:36
We made a, a really simple strudel with nuts
8:39
and with butter and flour and sugar,
8:42
a little bit of cinnamon.
8:43
We used canned biscuits and a bunch of fresh blueberries
8:47
and this thing looks and smells amazing.
8:51
So if you wanna do a nice skillet recipe
8:53
for your next gathering or for a really good dessert
8:56
for your family, this one fits the bill.
