Best Southern Pie Ever

by 247tasty
written by 247tasty

The best Southern Pie tastes like crème brûlée. It is smooth, delicate, and buttery. In reality, fans of the shiny “lid” on top of the crème brûlée (and the lids on brownie pans) will be pleased to see that buttermilk pie often forms a crackly rim. As with crème brûlée, one of life ‘s wonderful little pleasures is to smash your fork into the rich custard and through the top of a southern pie. Southern Pie is my nominee for the ideal party dessert awards this year. The fillings are luxuriously smooth and sweet inside with a slightly creaky sugar layer, and even though they are an old-fashioned, traditional Southern recipe, they do not have the reputation they deserve.

I owe my grandmother for classic Southern desserts like buttermilk pastry, Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie last week, and this popular Lemon Cream Pie that always made me feel like a newly born. Chess pie, a close relative of butter, was one of her signatures. Please run into your kitchen and prepare this recipe quickly if you have never had a traditional and best Southern pastry. It doesn’t look presumptuous, but every bite is sweet. The filling is soft and delicate, velvety, with a rich buttery flavor. It is a flaky butter cake that is dynamite as you’d expect.

Ingredients:

½ cup of buttermilk
1 ¾ cups of sugar
(2) large eggs
3 tbsps of flour
pinch of salt
(1) stick of butter
1 tsp of vanilla

Directions:

1. Place all the ingredients together in a big bowl until they have been combined then pour the place into a 9 “pie shell.

2. Sprinkle with a little nutmeg over the top and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, then bake for another 45 minutes.

3. Let it set and fully cool before serving.

4. Easy, fast, and delicious. No one could resist this pie ‘s goodness. You really should try to do it, trust me you won’t regret it, it sort of like magic.

Caramel Cake

by 247tasty
written by 247tasty

As I think of chocolate cake my heart pounds a little harder. The tender yellow cake, the soft, crystalline frosting that marries caramelized sugar and butter — falling in love with it is a simple dessert. The best caramel cakes are anything but simple; the yellow cake just has to hold the caramel flavor whisper and be both tender and strong enough to help the frosting, which is the show’s true star. The frosting on a caramel cake is a real beauty — a rich, whipped caramel that will pleasingly make you close your eyes with each bite. If caramel is your weak point, then this recipe will show you the way, step by step.

The most difficult part of making a caramel cake is frosting. Guarantee success with a decent thermometer of candy and a little patience when waiting for the caramel to melt, then cool, and slowly thicken.

Ingredients:

(3) sticks butter
3 cups of sugar
(5) eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven at about 350 degrees. Mix the milk, sugar, and eggs and mix well. Combine dry ingredients in a separate dish.

2. Then add the dry ingredients to the milk and then add cinnamon. Break up the batter “ribbons” in a mixing cup or with a side mixing.

3. Pour the batter into 3×9-inch grease and floured cake pans. Cook for 30 minutes, and use a toothpick to check if it’s cooked.

4. The cake can be baked even in a 9×13 inch baking pan and cooked for about 45 minutes. Cool the cake before putting the icing.

Tips:

1. You make a fairly ordinary yellow cake, with a caramel-like flavor you exchange some of the granulated sugar with brown sugar.

2. Make sure to cool the cakes and level them carefully before frosting.

3. The frosting needs a touch of candy-making know-how: you caramelize some sugar first and then transform the caramel into a fudge-like crystalline frosting.

Although, many modifications were made from one family to the other, yet the history of this delicious Southern Fried Cornbread stays the same. One of many Southern dishes pride that’s loved by many. I will teach my kids how to make this so they can pass it around their kids and to the next generation to come. This Southern Fried Cornbread deserves a spot on every family’s menu.

The greatest pleasures of Life are not always extravagant or luxurious. Think family spring picnics, hiking down a mountain path to a little-known waterfall, taking time after a week of rain to bask in the sun.

This recipe for Lemon Curd Sugar Cookie Sandwich is very refreshing and great for summer! That has to be one of the better lemon curds uses. Those cookies are too easy to make; they are “swig cookies,” which do not need to be chilled or rolled out.

BREAD IN A BAG

by 247tasty
written by 247tasty

Bread in a bag is a common way to make a fast loaf of white bread. You measure milk, yeast, and some all-purpose flour into a big zip-top container, and your tiny sub-chef kneads the ingredients into a gluey dough, which is then turned into a basic sandwich loaf with a tightly sealed jar.

The majority of these recipes use fast or quick growing yeast (and many of them) so that the loaf can be made in less than two hours from baking to buttering. There is also a guarantee that since this bread can be conveniently measured and mixed in a container, the majority of your children can do their jobs independently without a mess. Small children and big children would learn to make their loaf of bread. I enjoyed baking this and I hope you too.

Ingredients:

3 c all-purpose flour, divided
3 tbsp white sugar
1 (.25) package rapid rise yeast (2¼ tsp)
1 C warm water
3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1½ tsp salt

Directions:

1. Place 1 C flour, sugar and yeast in a resealable plastic bag, and add to warm water.

2. Squeeze air from and seal the container.

3. Squish with the hands until well combined.

4. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Bubbles are set to shape.

5. Put in 1 C of flour, oil, and salt and open the jar.

6. Seal bag and squish again until well blended.

7. Add the last cup of flour, and proceed to blend until well combined.

8. Take the dough from the bag and placed it on a surface that is gently floured.

9. Knead before smooth or for 5-10 minutes.

10. Divide the dough into half and put in a grated mini loaf pan per half. Or make only one wide loaf

11. Cover with a towel, and give about 30 minutes to develop.

12. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 375-degree oven, or until golden brown.
