0:00
- I got something today
0:04
that I so appreciate him getting in touch with me.
0:10
Now, the way I would pronounce this is Lefformie
0:16
What do you think, Katie?
0:22
It's like three words, La-for-me junior.
0:29
So Wayne tells me that I wanted to write
0:32
and share a quick story
0:33
about a family favorite recipe.
0:38
My mom passed away last year.
0:39
One of the last meals I was able to cook for her
0:42
was your dynamite air fryer fried chicken.
0:46
And she gave it the thumbs up,
0:49
and you are not lying.
0:50
That chicken does make everybody happy.
0:53
And I tell everyone I know about that recipe
0:57
as it is foolproof, delicious, and easy to clean up.
1:01
In fact, he says, 'we done wore out our first air
1:04
fryer making that chicken.'
1:06
Well, Wayne, if you're looking
1:09
and in the market for an air fryer,
1:11
this is the Paula Dean latest air fryer.
1:16
And you see, it takes a top position
1:21
I use it all the time. Every day.
1:28
if you are in the market,
1:32
and our largest air fryer out there.
1:34
And it gives you your temperatures.
1:38
All you have to do is hit the button that applies
1:41
to whatever you're cooking.
1:42
So if you're in the market.
1:46
And the recipe that he's sharing with me today
1:49
is for every holiday meal
1:52
in Northeastern central Pennsylvania.
1:55
My mom made this every Christmas and Thanksgiving
1:58
so it will always be on our table.
2:00
And this is a similar dish to Southern corn pudding,
2:03
but like our Yankee cornbread, there is sugar in it.
2:07
So please give it a try.
2:08
This particular formulation is a huge hit at every potluck
2:13
and every potluck that they take it to,
2:16
and it couldn't be easier.
2:19
Y'all know how much I love hearing
2:24
I do have a corn casserole recipe
2:27
that, you know people everywhere
2:33
across the U.S. that I've been, say,
2:35
'Ooh, that corn casserole is on our Thanksgiving
2:39
and Christmas table every year.'
2:41
So I can't wait to try your formulation, Wayne, for this.
2:48
So I'm going to combine our wet ingredients
3:00
let me see, it's on two different sheets;
3:02
four eggs, lightly beaten,
3:08
Two cans of creamed corn.
3:13
This almost sounds like it could be a dessert, Wayne,
3:17
'cause it does have a lot of sugar in it.
3:19
And of course the corn is sweet as well.
3:29
and this is 14.25 ounces.
3:35
That's the can that you will need; the size.
3:44
And then two cans of whole kernel corn.
3:52
Am I gonna have enough room in this bowl?
3:56
I don't know about it.
4:00
I've got a too tiny of a bowl y'all.
4:05
'Cause I've still gotta-
4:08
- [Teresa] I think you should have gone bigger.
4:12
- I think I should have to.
4:13
No, I'm going, just take care of this.
4:17
I have a cup of sugar.
4:25
and I believe that's all purpose flour.
4:36
So Wayne tells us not to over-mix this,
4:44
so I'm gonna do exactly what he says.
4:46
I'm not going over-mix it.
4:49
So I'm gonna add my wet
4:58
and I'm just gonna do it this way
5:00
since I didn't have room in that other bowl,
5:08
It's not much butter, Wayne.
5:17
So we're just gonna fold that together
5:19
until you don't see anymore wet flour.
5:27
And Wayne says to bake this
5:31
at 375 for about 45 minutes or until firm.
5:36
So it will really just depend on your ovens.
5:45
But I would say 30 minutes
5:47
could well be long enough.
5:53
Okay. I've sprayed our pan.
6:01
And I think that's everything I was supposed to have.
6:05
And Wayne tells us that on that cup of milk,
6:10
you can use evaporated milk.
6:12
And if I'd had evaporated,
6:16
that's what I would've used
6:18
because it just makes dishes so much richer.
6:22
And that's what I like making my macaroni and cheese with.
6:26
So in the oven, 375 for 45 minutes
6:33
but I'm gonna put my timer
6:35
on 30 minutes, and we'll go from there.
6:39
Wayne, this looks so very good son.
6:43
I just took it out of the oven
6:47
and it's gonna be very very hot
6:51
and it looks very, very good.
6:55
So my friends out there
6:58
that have made my corn casserole recipe,
7:05
you'll have to try this.
7:08
You'll have to try Wayne's
7:09
and see how you like his.
7:17
Mm. Michael, you wanna come taste?
7:23
- [Michael] Oh, well, it's probably not on my diet,
7:32
Oh, oh, there's some forks.
7:42
- I can't believe, you're eating it with your fingers.
7:45
I already got a fork.
7:48
- This ain't my first rodeo.
7:51
- This is like a dessert, Wayne.
7:58
With that cup of sugar.
8:01
I was gonna say you're not gonna salt it,
8:07
- Okay, 'cause it does not need salt.
8:12
Yes, I would call this corn cake, Wayne.
8:23
- (Laughs) It is corny, ain't it.
8:32
Mine's better than yours.
8:34
- Let me taste it with the pepper.
8:37
- [Teresa] It's so hot.
8:41
- [Teresa] It looks like it's-
8:44
It's just, like I said, like a dessert.
9:00
- Thanks Wayne. (laughing)
9:08
I enjoyed reading your letter to me.
9:12
Love you and love your recipe.
