0:01
- All right y'all, it's all about Mother's Day,
0:05
and I'm gonna share some easy recipes with you
0:08
if I can figure out how to unfold this dough. (chuckles)
0:12
I'm sharing some easy recipes
0:14
because, you know, if you've got children
0:16
old enough to make your mother's day treat,
0:24
this will be easy for them.
0:26
Now, I have sprayed the bottom of my pan,
0:37
when I slice this, I want you to be able to,
0:40
you know, get it up without tearing it up.
0:44
All right, this crescent roll's a little longer
0:52
So, like I said, I'm just gonna press those together.
0:55
Now, I've got two eight-ounce packages of cream cheese.
1:03
Come on, work with me, cream cheese.
1:06
Cream cheese is always so hard to get outta the pack to me.
1:13
it's so hard to open without losing half your cream cheese,
1:18
you know what I mean?
1:19
Do you know what I mean, Theresa?
1:21
Do you find that hard?
1:23
Oh, she ain't here. She's gone.
1:26
All right, I've got my sugar.
1:30
It's like three fourths of a cup of sugar.
1:35
So I'm just gonna cream this up
1:37
so that I can spread it over my crescent roll dough.
1:43
So now we're gonna just spread this in here.
1:51
I may have to use my offset spatula.
2:03
This is gonna be real cream cheesy.
2:08
And I love cream cheese.
2:25
Just wanna get this, you know,
2:27
spread out as evenly as you can,
2:33
'cause you don't want too much cream cheese in one place
2:36
and not enough in another place.
2:39
I forgot to add my eggs and my vanilla to the cream cheese.
2:43
So what am I gonna do now?
2:46
I'm just gonna stir it in,
2:49
and it'll be delicious.
2:52
You know, there's almost nothing you can't fix.
2:56
The only thing I found out I cannot fix is scorching.
2:59
If I scorch something, forget it.
3:02
- [Camera Person] Or salt something.
3:04
Sometimes too much salt-
3:05
Well you can put a potato, yes, putting too much salt,
3:08
but you can add a potato.
3:10
- [Camera Person] Oh, okay.
3:11
- To what you've salted too much,
3:13
and that potato will eat up some of that salt,
3:24
- [Camera Person] So dads, if you make a mistake,
3:25
see how easy you can fix it?
3:28
It's not that big of a deal.
3:29
- That's right, no need to-
3:31
- [Camera Person] And the kids are in the kitchen with you
3:33
and it's chaos, and you forget one ingredient,
3:38
See, that's good as new.
3:43
Every time I open this kind of container, look,
3:46
this one popped early, and I about jumped outta my drawers.
3:54
So listen, to all you new cooks out there,
3:58
or even your seasoned cooks like me,
4:03
I consider myself a seasoned cook,
4:06
but you know, mistakes are made,
4:09
so don't be hard on yourself.
4:14
You know, you can fix most everything.
4:18
So now I'm gonna unroll this all the way.
4:22
And now we're gonna place this on top of our cream cheese,
4:29
and our egg and vanilla, (chuckles)
4:32
along with our sugar.
4:38
So this really is so easy and so good.
4:41
All right, now let's see, I need to beat my egg white
4:47
until it's kind of frothy.
4:50
And then I'm gonna spread it over the top of this,
5:02
and it'll make it shiny and pretty.
5:10
I don't think you need a mixer for this.
5:14
You know, we don't need meringue,
5:16
we just need it kind of frothy.
5:21
And I call that frothy.
5:42
The wind is whipping around.
5:47
I thought winds were in March.
5:50
- [Camera Person] They're holding-
5:51
- March winds, April showers.
6:01
Like I said, you just wanna cover it all
6:04
so it'll have that nice little sheen to it.
6:08
And we're fixing to top it with more sugar,
6:14
and that will give that something for that sugar to hold to.
6:29
So just a little bit.
6:30
Do you know what, I think I'm gonna put my nuts next.
6:36
- [Camera Person] I just gave you the whole bag,
6:38
it was left- - Thank you.
6:39
- [Camera Person] 'Cause I know Cal,
6:40
there's no (indistinct)-
6:41
- You know how I am, don't you? (chuckles)
6:44
All right y'all, hold your ears.
6:49
These are already chopped walnuts,
6:53
but sometimes I like to just give 'em a little beating.
7:01
(chuckles) Needs one more little beating.
7:06
This recipe is actually in,
7:12
in fact, I'm gonna show y'all,
7:16
I'm gonna show y'all which of my books this is in.
7:21
And it just breaks my heart, but at some point,
7:24
you know, when things were kind of up in the air,
7:31
my favorite book in the whole world did not get reprinted.
7:34
And it's this book, "Paula Dean's Kitchen Classics."
7:40
And if you have a copy of this,
7:41
don't let anything happen to it.
7:44
And maybe one day it'll get shined on
7:49
and we can reproduce it.
7:51
But until then, don't let anything happen to it.
8:03
You know, if you wanted to doozy this up,
8:08
you could put a pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer
8:17
and make it a fruit one.
8:23
Eddie, does that look like I've got it spread kind of even?
8:28
- [Eddie] Looks like it.
8:30
- Okay, 35 to 45 minutes in a 350-degree oven,
8:36
and you gonna have a wonderful little treat
8:39
for mother on Mother's Day.
8:42
So this is the easy coffee cake that I messed up.
8:48
You know, I wound up beating up the cream cheese
8:52
and forgot to put in the egg yolk and the vanilla,
8:56
so I just stirred it on the top into the cream cheese.
9:01
- [Camera Person] And no one's the wiser.
9:04
But I can't keep a secret like that (chuckles),
9:09
because we all make mistakes.
9:13
All right, now this is screaming,
9:17
I'm talking about screaming loud
9:21
for some vanilla ice cream,
9:24
or either sweetened whipped cream.
9:29
Just a little dollop.
9:31
- [Eddie] Looks good.
9:32
- It does look good, doesn't it?
9:36
- [Camera Person] I'd be a happy mom getting that-
9:51
And it's just, (coughs)
9:53
just delicious and so easy.
9:57
It's real, like a cheesecake almost.
10:10
Theresa said you and your variations.
10:13
But (chuckles) there's so many ways
10:16
that you can change this up.
10:20
On top of the cream cheese,
10:22
you could add a can of cherry pie filling,
10:24
or blueberry pie filling,
10:28
and take it completely in another direction.
10:33
So you dad's out there, grab your children,
10:37
make this for mommy on Mother's Day,
10:41
and if it's possible, she'll love you even more. (chuckles)
