- I'm fixing to share with y'all
0:02
a wonderful coffee cake recipe.
0:06
when I lived downtown
0:07
in my little pre-civil war house on Abercorn,
0:14
Granite Steps, it was a beautiful B and B
0:17
and Donna and I, the young woman that owned it,
0:20
we got to be friends.
0:21
And so I said, "Donna I know you fixed some wonderful things
0:25
but your guest for breakfast",
0:28
I said, "You got anything that
0:30
you'd like to share with me?".
0:32
'Cause I think I was doing
0:36
just desserts, maybe, I don't know what I was doing.
0:39
But anyway, she shared a couple of recipes with me
0:42
and this is one of my favorites,
0:44
'cause I just love the flavor of orange.
0:50
I have buttered my pan
0:54
and I'm going to start by placing one biscuit.
0:58
And let's see, Donna recommended a 16.3 ounce
1:03
of flaky refrigerated biscuits.
1:06
And now we're going to take the other
1:09
and we're going to cut them in half.
1:11
And we're going to just put them around
1:18
- [Speaker] Paula, these recipes we're
1:21
focusing on Mother's Day. (dogs barking)
1:25
This would be wonderful (dogs barking)
1:28
for the children to get in the kitchen
1:30
along with maybe daddy's help,
1:32
if they're still real young children,
1:34
and make this for mommy.
1:39
All right, so we are just going to put those around,
1:40
it's going to look like a big flower.
1:48
Love these easy but delicious recipes.
1:53
(machine whirring) Uh oh, I'm going to have to
1:55
put them a little closer.
1:58
I'm going to have to squeeze them in better than this.
2:11
And you want to make sure that you turn them,
2:18
keep them all in the same direction.
2:23
Okay, so there we go.
2:26
All right, now I'm going to take my melted butter
2:31
and I'm going to brush them.
2:33
And I think I've got maybe
2:34
a couple of tablespoons of butter here.
2:41
So they got butter underneath
2:53
Going to be so, so good.
3:01
That wasn't real bright.
3:03
All right, I'm going to take my walnuts,
3:09
and I'm going to mix those together.
3:15
two teaspoons of orange zest
3:18
and this is what gives it such a great flavor.
3:24
And I don't want to lose one piece of that zest.
3:35
Donna has moved out of Savannah
3:36
and I have no idea where she is,
3:38
but if you should see this Donna,
3:43
I thank you for sharing this recipe with me
3:47
and I send you love and best dishes sister.
3:52
She was a fun little neighbor.
3:54
All right, now I'm going to put these-
3:58
What was that? Oh, that was the melted butter.
4:00
I'm going to put these in the oven.
4:03
we're going to bake them at 350
4:05
in a nine inch round cake pan.
4:10
we're going to bake it for about 20 minutes,
4:12
then we're going to take it out
4:13
and I'm going to make a nice orange glaze
4:19
So y'all are getting a picture, aren't you?
4:22
A wonderful little something sweet to make for mommy.
4:27
Our coffee cakes are in the oven,
4:29
we're going to bake them at 350 for about 20 minutes.
4:33
And while I'm waiting on those to get ready,
4:36
I'm going to take my cream cheese and my powdered sugar.
4:41
(scraping and clanging)
4:44
And this is going to be the glaze
4:47
that we're going to put on them
4:49
when they come out of the oven, while they're still warm.
4:53
And let that glaze kind melt into them.
4:56
It's going to be so good.
4:58
Okay, so I'm going to add,
5:00
I'm going to start with two tablespoons of orange juice.
5:09
you know, it may be orangy enough, I don't know.
5:14
(clanging and scrapping)
5:26
I think I'm going to have to switch to a spoon,
5:28
now that I got that cream cheese.
5:30
Therese, would you pass me a spoon please?
5:36
Thank you, I didn't mean to get in your way.
5:39
(scrapping and clanging)
5:54
I think all it's going to take is the two tablespoons,
6:00
pretty good, just like that.
6:02
(clanging and scrapping)
6:08
All right, I'm going to-
6:14
I'm going to put some orange.
6:17
Oh my gosh, it smells like I've just cut the
6:23
and I'm going to put just a little drop, 'cause-
6:27
Uh oh, that may be more than a drop.
6:32
(clanging and scrapping)
6:49
- A little better? - It more better.
6:52
I think I might need another tablespoon or so of
6:56
powdered sugar, Teresa.
6:58
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
7:02
'Cause I don't want it to be so loose
7:04
that it all rolls off,
7:11
cinnamon rolls that you buy.
7:14
You know how that icing, it'll kind of sit up on it.
7:19
So I do want a little to kind of sit up.
7:23
All right, that's like one more tablespoon.
7:27
I think it could be a little bit thicker still.
7:38
Maybe I'll have this right
7:46
So look what we have, we have Donna
7:51
Sparks, I think it was Donna- - Spark.
7:57
On the Granite Step Inn, my neighbor when I lived downtown,
8:05
that she would serve her guest.
8:09
Because the Granite Steps was a B and B
8:11
and it was beautiful.
8:15
And the way it got its name is,
8:17
going up it was all granite steps
8:21
leading into the inn.
8:23
All right, now I wound up adding three
8:31
I was just afraid it was going to be a little too thin,
8:36
'cause I want it to, you know, something to stick.
8:43
How many people are going to fight for that center one?
8:50
Okay, so this is straight out of the oven, y'all.
9:02
Maybe I put too much powdered sugar in it, you think?
9:06
I just wanted something to sit on top.
9:17
Oh my granny gracious. (laughing)
9:23
Yeah, I probably put a little too much powdered sugar.
9:28
'Cause it's not running down like I thought it would
9:30
and it's been so very, very long since I've made this.
9:34
Last time I made it, I was living downtown,
9:37
which I hadn't lived downtown in,
9:40
how many years has it been now?
9:45
many, many moons. (clanging)
9:51
Yeah, I want you to run down a little bit.
9:56
Ever drop. (clanging)
9:58
We're going to get ever drop.
10:03
this would be a great
10:06
little morning wake up
10:08
on Mother's Day Morning, on Sunday morning,
10:11
if you get in the kitchen with your little children
10:17
make mommy a coffee cake
10:20
and tell her how much you love her
10:21
and how much you appreciate her.
10:34
I had forgotten just how good this was.
10:44
and grandmothers out there,
10:47
I send y'all a lot of love
10:50
and wishes for best dishes to y'all on your day.
10:55
Thanks for being who you are.
