I am cooking dinner right now so I can't watch but I wanted to drop in and say that you are how I put my two year old to bed every night. We read a story then she asks to watch Emmy. So thank you for helping me get her to bed at night. We will be watching this at bedtime tonight. ❤
While you've got that Bisquick, IDK if you've ever made sausage balls, it's a recipe that used to come on the side as a way of stretching ground pork. 2C of Bisquick, 1c shredded cheddar, 1lb ground pork/sausage, 1 egg, salt and pepper. Combine, form until balls about 1 inch in diameter, bake at 325 for 35 minutes, so good, so easy, it's a holiday tradition in my family
Every cake I make is a "sad" cake LOL...BUT if you take a sad cake and put it in a bowl with chocolate sauce and marshmallows in the microwave....VIOLA HAPPY CAKE.
My mother used to make homemade cooked on the stove oatmeal and cream of wheat cooked on the stove. Every time I make cream of wheat, which is one of my top favorite foods, I think of my mom. She passed away 28 years ago… Every time I make it that’s who I think of. I will be 72 years old soon. Thank you mom and dad of course. I miss both of you. 😊❤❤
I love Cream of Wheat too. I cook mine with milk. Never use water. My husband of 46 plus years makes oatmeal everyday for his breakfast. He adds raisins while it cooks. He uses the old fashioned oat. But, Cream of Wheat if you remember the song? It's Cream of Wheat weather we repeat so guard your family with hot Cream of Wheat!
@@denickite I do not remember a cream of wheat song. The recipe I use is 3 tablespoons of cream of wheat, 1/2 a cup of water, and 1/2 a cup of whole milk. And I nuke it for two or three minutes. I used to put cinnamon sugar on it but maybe 10 years ago I tried Smuckers seedless red raspberry jam, and that’s what I use now. In fact… I just remembered, I had cream of wheat for breakfast this morning lol. ☺️😉🍵🧋 have a wonderful weekend! 🌸🌝🌈✨🌷🐝🦋
This is so sweet that I teared up reading you both talk about your memories :) thank you both for sharing these happy moments. I’m 23 and will pay extra attention to the foods my mom and I bond with because she’s 63 and I know she won’t always be here.
@@ericwilliams8371plan ahead!!! Write down ALL favorite recipes you can get from mom,dad,grands aunts n uncles. Most aren't written, it's just a pinch of this, handful of that,etc. But the fun of cooking is trying to nail down their recipe lol😂
You're correct, Emmy! You get crinkly tops on brownies by adding the sugar into warm fat (melted butter) and letting it melt and dissolve a bit, which then rises to the top and caramelizes. With the sheer amount of brown sugar in these blondie-style bars that seems pretty inevitable, you don't even need extra fat than the vegetable oils incorporated into the Bisquick 😁
My Momma's favorite was Buttered Pecan, also... When I miss her too much, I get a pint of it and watch a movie she loved. It makes me feel like she's still here, sometimes.
Have you ever made a Greek Honey Cake?? Its one of my all time favorite types of cakes. It doesnt have a frosting. I like to think of it more like a sweet bread. Like banana bread. I usually make honeyed candied oranges to top it with or sometimes lemons. and just drizzle honey all over. I definitely recommend trying it. Its a super simple recipe. :)
I use Bisquick to make impossible quiche. To measure take the bag out of the box, and it opens wide enough to scoop with measuring cup. Then just put the bag back in the box.
This is similar to something my mom accidentally made by combining a Jiffy cake mix with a box of Jiffy frosting mix, along with slamming the oven door at one point during baking. It was wonderful! I never could get her to repeat it. Now , I know how . Thanks Emmy!
My sad cake is in the oven right now. I'm always excited when I just happen to have the ingredients for one of your recipes. I live alone so I halved the recipe. I can't wait to try it.
we have a similar recipe we always make for the holidays, brown sugar nut chews, basically a blondie. ours has a bit of butter in it, they don’t age well, get very hard quickly so you have to wrap well.
I requested and received a Dutch whisk for Christmas because of you. I love it and use it much more than I thought I would. It’s a simple but very useful tool. Thanks for the recommendation 👍👍
@@TheBLGL I don’t mind me being corrected - but I’m not stupid. Tired and misspoke but I don’t accept that label of ‘stupid American’ for misspeaking in a late night well intended comment about a kitchen tool. Grace and kindness please.
That whisk is my favorite mixing tool. I have been using that style for around 30 years and it is a blessing for any batter that is thicker than pancake batter. It is also much easier to clean than a balloon whisk.
My friend's grandma uses the same base of cake for her fruit cake. The only difference are the candied fruits and the spices she puts in them. I always get one from them every xmas.
My 5 year-old always begs to watch Emmy with mummy. My 11 year old, who is too cool for most things these days, always finds a way to dawdle at my door when your channel is playing still. Thanks for bringing us together with such great content.
My mom made something so similar that she called blonde brownies. They were my step dad’s favorite - he didn’t eat chocolate. No Bisquick, though. I need to try these!
When it comes to baking, sugar is considered a liquid ingredient generally. The oil in the Bisquick helps with creating moisture content as well. These look amazing! Any similarity to blondies? Thanks for recipe.
I make a version of this weekly...2 c. Bisquick, 2 1/4 c. Brown sugar, 4 eggs, add in any number of fun mix ins ( chopped nuts, butterscotch or chocolate chips, coconut, my current fave is toffee bits & finely chopped pecans) also love 3/4 c. Oatmeal & 11/2 c. Butterscotch chips. They are like a wonderful blondie brownie!! 30 mins @ 400° 9x13 pan. Mindlessly easy and so delicious! I parchment line the pan for easy clean up and ease of cutting.
Seeing the ingredients and the results, as Emmy said, this is pretty much like a blondie; a brownie without the cocoa. That recipe called for pecans but you could use walnuts (pecans taste better, though). You could even mix in chocolate chips. Bisquick, Jiffy Mix (Pretty much the same, different producer) and similar have flour, cornstarch (makes the results fluffier) baking powder, salt and even some fat in it already; you just need to add liquid. Lacking that, you could use two cups flour, a teaspoon of baking powder, half teaspoon salt and half a cup of vegetable oil instead.
When I was young we would beg Granny to make a sad cake, which to us was Pound cake with an underdone streak in it, lol. That "sad streak" was the best part, so moist and gooey! Thanks for conjuring up a great memory for me!
I just made this yesterday and baked in a 9x9 inch square baking dish. Turned out fine. Baked a bit longer, of course. I used 2 cups brown sugar and 1/3 cup white sugar just because I didn’t want to open a new bag of brown sugar. I like them. Basic, simple and tasty. I use that whisk a lot and always for my pizza dough. I love it.
Hey Emmy. That look soo delicious. 5 ingredients is amazing. But it didn't look sad at all. God Bless you Emmy. I have sad news that I didn't want to give you. But my dear sweet sister past away on Tuesday. My heart is broken. I am also grieving. It's hard for me and I just need some incouraging words. Take care. Mari'a. 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭
Measuring Bisquick - use a half cup measure to dip, and squeeze the box slightly hexagonal. The crackley brownie top crust is the sugar, you can make it on any cake by sprinkling extra sugar over the top just before you bake.
Most Likely the ice cream formula that you enjoyed with your dad changed over the years. Corporations change formulas to decrease costs and increase profits, opting for lesser-grade ingredients.
It helps to store Bisquick in a container to make it less messy, kind of like how you would store flour (it also helps to keep bugs and other critters out if you have an issue with that sort of thing)
Food memories are a funny thing- when I think of pancakes, I remember my dad and “fish and chip” dinners as a kid- because I didn’t like fish much as a kid, but I LOVED when we had it for dinner because dad would make extra batter and use it to make crepes which he would slather with butter, sugar and fresh lemon juice!- yummmmm!🤷♀️🥰🥰 I miss my dad- and “fish and chip night”👍🏻🥰🥰🥰
The weird crispness is from a combination of egg and sugar without the large amount of flour for firmer structure. I have a recipe for this thing called scotch goodie that is mostly egg and brown sugar and it's so weird but it's so tasty.
A crackled top on brownies is due in part to the whipping of the eggs :-) the additional air incorporated into the batter results in something like a meringue
I like your story because that was my mom's favorite kind of ice cream too, and I used to not really like it, but now that I'm older, I love it. Same, same but different.
Emmy, for future reference, you can avoid the mess by spooning the Bisquick into your measuring cup instead of trying to pour it from the box. You could also transfer the Bisquick to a flour container for easy access; just label it carefully to avoid future baking disasters by using the wrong product!
That's what I was going to say too. Also, spooning it into the cup would be the correct way to measure it anyway, since that's how you should measure flour.
Butter Pecan and Chocolate Molten Crunch are my favorite ice creams. My dad’s favorite ice cream and cake are Mint Chocolate Chip and German Chocolate Cake so I grew up on those and love them.
🎉Fascinating! I've made something similar with maple syrup, Aunt Jemima pancake mix, and walnuts! Definitely a bucket list level dessert... especially if you make it as a mug cake with a generous ball of vanilla ice cream on top
We had Farm Store drive thrus with great ice creams and my dad like butter pecan as well. Mine was chocolate nutty nougat and moms was cherry cheesecake.
I didn’t have Bisquick in the house (on list now!) but I did have 1.5 cups of Kodiak Cake pancake mix. Made the chocolate chip pancakes recipe on the Kodiak box tonight. They are good!
My grandma made me all kinds of cakes like this as I was growing up! She always had one ready-to-eat on the counter. I think she realized I liked the gooey texture, so she just stuck with it. She’d flavor them with all kinds of stuff… chocolate chips, nuts, oatmeal, strawberries, whatever she had lying around… 😁💖
Your little story about your dad's favorite ice cream got me thinking about how I chose my favorite candy bar. My favorite candy bar is Butterfingers because not only is it really tasty but because it's my dad's favorite. It being my dad's favorite is the reason I tried it in the first place. I'm more likely to eat Reese's Peanut Butter candy anything, but I always say my favorite candy is Butterfingers.
Ellie, always love your upbeat, thoughtful, fun and whimsical personality, recipes, presentations and vids! This looks like one I can handle and will try making! 😎
Thank you Emmy for telling me what the heck Bisquick even is, as it’s an ingredient (?) that doesn’t exist in Sweden, where I live. I love the name of the cake, it’s so funny! A very popular Swedish cake is the “sticky cake”, which is pretty much like a mud cake or brownie, but made especially to be slightly underdone in the middle so it’s sticky, like the name implies. It’s one of the first things many Swedes learn how to bake. One pound of sugar for one cake sounds like too much sugar to me, I don’t know how much I’d like this sad cake after all!
@@Scribbleshow Yum, that sounds so good. I love chocolate. My sister will sometimes buy treats and wind up giving them to me because she says they're too chocolately and I tell her that's a concept I can in no way understand. Lol Too chocolately doesn't exist in my world!
I looooove an edge piece. My mom recently made brownies and said she’d cut off the edges to get rid of them 🤯 I was like WHAT THATS THE BEST PART?!? Two kinds of people in the world LOL
One of the easiest recipes my grandma used to make to tide us over before dinner on thanksgiving or Xmas was sausage balls.They use bisquick. They might have the recipe on the box. But it's basically a few cups bisquick, a pound tube of breakfast pork sausage and shredded chedder. You mix in the sausage and bisquick until it comes together and then mix in the cheese. My grandma used a couple tablespoons full of milk. Then you roll them into walnut sized balls and bake em. They turnout like cheesy sausage biscuit balls. So good to dip in a basic white gravy. She would make trays of those to set on the livingroom tables. Along with cheese crackers and different kielbasa summer sausage, pepperoni and Genoa salami. Plus different cheeseballs. I always made Thu mistake of not eat I g before going over and be hungry when I get there and almost fill up on just the snacks. I usually ended up hardly eating and taking home alot of leftovers. It was wierd. Not many people like candied yams in my family yet my grandma would make like 4 pans of them. I'd always end up with at least 2 and a half or 3 of them when I left.same with stuffing.the ham would hardly ever be leftovers. Same with desserts.But I was lucky. I never sake my grandma nor expected any presents for birthday or Xmas from my grandparents. I told them when I was 20 to use the money for themselves. My grandma was like no we want to get you something. So I said ok. A pecan pie. Make me a pecan pie that's all. So every Xmas there was an extra pecan pie just for me. She would wrap it up and give it to me to take to my car So it didn't get eaten. My uncle saw me taking it to the car one year and he threw a fit because I was stealing stealing pie. My grandma top him as he sat there unwrapping a 200 dollar tv he asked them for. My grandma told him that's his pie. His Xmas gift. Out of everyone here he's the only one that cares about mine and your dad's finances. He won't let us buy him a gift for instance like a 200 dollar tv. She just glares at him. He just shut his mouth fer that. My grandma shamed him for try in try in start drama during the holiday.
It's a lot easier to measure the bisquick if you take the bag out of the box before pouring. Cut one of the corners instead of opening the whole top and then it won't fly out everywhere.
My mom's buttertart squares (effectively egg and brown sugar and pecans on a shortbread base) do the crackly thing if you leave them in the oven a few minutes too long, might be the combination of egg and sugar.
Reminds me of Butterscotch Brownies, like the ones in the Betty Crocker Cooky Book. (That's how they spell "cooky." Although I typically milk chocolate chips for the nuts.
I have a wide mouth flour jar that I fill with bags in the sink. But I only fill it 3/4 of the way so I can put a measuring cup into it, and the excess falls back in the jar.
Just an FYI if you cannot find Bisquick in your area. You can make your own at home. 6 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons baking powder 1 tablespoon salt 1 cup vegetable shortening, cubed Instructions Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse ingredients for about 15 seconds. Add in the vegetable shortening and pulse the processor until the mixture resembles cornmeal. I do mine by hand with a cut in tool. Place homemade Bisquick into an airtight container and store within the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Would mini chocolate chips be a good addition? Or would it be too sweet? Or add unsweetened cocoa to the batter? They look good as is, but I'm in a chocolate mood. Thank you for your recipes.
My dad also loved Butter Pecan ice cream, I never did but I can have it today all these years later and think of him - ❤ also with the smell of a Bourbon and Ginger Ale 😂❤ food memories are the best ❤
Emmy is the only channel I watch that has helix sleep as a sponsor. She is also the only channel I watch that only has Stearns and foster mattresses for ads. Stearns and foster is the ONLY ad I get on Emmys channel
I am a corner woman. This dessert looks pretty good, but sweet. Did the cake rise in the oven and fall? Emmy, you brought back good memories for me. My dad's favorite ice cream was butter pecan and my mom would make impossible pie ❤
Glad am not the only one who sheds hair when I cooking...have to pull up my hair now....chocolate chips would be nice in the Sad Cake...Vanilla Ice cream would be awesome with this....😊
If you want an easy way to get in the bisquick bag, you need a measuring cup that's oval instead of round. I can't remember for the life of me where I got mine (probably inherited) but they've worked so so well with flour and other dry batters like pancake. OR just take the bag out of the box and then you'll have more space to fit the cup in lol
I feel like I could recite your helix sleep pitch by now 😂 you really make me tempted to try one of their mattresses but I just got my purple a couple years ago
Butter Pecan is my all time favorite ice cream! Ron's Ice Cream in Hyde Park Ma. has the best I've ever had... buttery, slightly salty and chock full of pecans! 😋
Back in the day of this cake, there was the rhyme; "A pint is a pound the world around." For some reason, a pound of sugar seems a lot more than 2 cups of sugar. I wonder how this cake would taste with pineapple.
I ran into the simplest version of this recipe (Bisquick, eggs and brown sugar only) elsewhere a couple months ago. It looked like and had the texture of a fudgy brownie (just not chocolate), but tastes like a very sweet chocolate chip cookie without chocolate chips! Will have to try Emmy's adaptation.
We tried to make a gingerbread snack cake, however something went wrong and it didn’t rise. Ended up with gingerbread brownies. Soft, chewy and delicious. Fails are not always bad.

It's the water in the butter and eggs, actually. Adam Ragusea has an entire trilogy specifically about how to get brownie skin from scratch.
Once she said it looked like brownies, the entire texture of them seemed brownie like. Interesting stuff guys
It's simpler than that. The more you beat the batter, the more you'll get the crinkly top.
My Momma's favorite was Buttered Pecan, also... When I miss her too much, I get a pint of it and watch a movie she loved. It makes me feel like she's still here, sometimes.

Butter pecan is still my favorite ice cream, but I think it has changed in the last few years, and it's not as good and buttery as it used to be.
What brand do you typically buy? I'm personally not a fan of butter pecan ice cream but my mom is and she always buys blue bell.
I used to have a flavoured coffee I liked, the only one I ever liked and it was butter pecan mmm

Bisquick is so underrated. Makes the best pancakes and poofy dumplings. My mom never used anything else for her chicken and dumplings
My grandma made me all kinds of cakes like this as I was growing up! She always had one ready-to-eat on the counter. I think she realized I liked the gooey texture, so she just stuck with it. She’d flavor them with all kinds of stuff… chocolate chips, nuts, oatmeal, strawberries, whatever she had lying around… 😁💖
Your little story about your dad's favorite ice cream got me thinking about how I chose my favorite candy bar. My favorite candy bar is Butterfingers because not only is it really tasty but because it's my dad's favorite. It being my dad's favorite is the reason I tried it in the first place. I'm more likely to eat Reese's Peanut Butter candy anything, but I always say my favorite candy is Butterfingers.
Ellie, always love your upbeat, thoughtful, fun and whimsical personality, recipes, presentations and vids! This looks like one I can handle and will try making! 😎
Emmy.
Yeay, the Bit in the end is BACK! 🤭🤣😂👍
The "Blondie" Sad Cake looks amazing!
Thank you Emmy for telling me what the heck Bisquick even is, as it’s an ingredient (?) that doesn’t exist in Sweden, where I live. I love the name of the cake, it’s so funny!
A very popular Swedish cake is the “sticky cake”, which is pretty much like a mud cake or brownie, but made especially to be slightly underdone in the middle so it’s sticky, like the name implies. It’s one of the first things many Swedes learn how to bake.
One pound of sugar for one cake sounds like too much sugar to me, I don’t know how much I’d like this sad cake after all!
IS there a secret to under cooking sticky cake? Mine are never sticky. I still love the flavor even though the texture comes out differently.
PERFECT! Something I can bake and not screw up!
Bet it would be good with semi sweet chocolate pieces. Would be like a sad chocolate chip cake. Yum!
I thought the same YUMMY thing the second I saw the batter. 😋
My grandma made this with chocolate chips, all of the time! It’s literally delicious. Put some vanilla ice cream on it and… 🤤🤤🤤
@@Scribbleshow Yum, that sounds so good. I love chocolate. My sister will sometimes buy treats and wind up giving them to me because she says they're too chocolately and I tell her that's a concept I can in no way understand. Lol Too chocolately doesn't exist in my world!
I looooove an edge piece. My mom recently made brownies and said she’d cut off the edges to get rid of them 🤯 I was like WHAT THATS THE BEST PART?!? Two kinds of people in the world LOL
One of the easiest recipes my grandma used to make to tide us over before dinner on thanksgiving or Xmas was sausage balls.They use bisquick. They might have the recipe on the box. But it's basically a few cups bisquick, a pound tube of breakfast pork sausage and shredded chedder. You mix in the sausage and bisquick until it comes together and then mix in the cheese. My grandma used a couple tablespoons full of milk. Then you roll them into walnut sized balls and bake em. They turnout like cheesy sausage biscuit balls. So good to dip in a basic white gravy. She would make trays of those to set on the livingroom tables. Along with cheese crackers and different kielbasa summer sausage, pepperoni and Genoa salami. Plus different cheeseballs. I always made Thu mistake of not eat I g before going over and be hungry when I get there and almost fill up on just the snacks. I usually ended up hardly eating and taking home alot of leftovers. It was wierd. Not many people like candied yams in my family yet my grandma would make like 4 pans of them. I'd always end up with at least 2 and a half or 3 of them when I left.same with stuffing.the ham would hardly ever be leftovers. Same with desserts.But I was lucky. I never sake my grandma nor expected any presents for birthday or Xmas from my grandparents. I told them when I was 20 to use the money for themselves. My grandma was like no we want to get you something. So I said ok. A pecan pie. Make me a pecan pie that's all. So every Xmas there was an extra pecan pie just for me. She would wrap it up and give it to me to take to my car So it didn't get eaten. My uncle saw me taking it to the car one year and he threw a fit because I was stealing stealing pie. My grandma top him as he sat there unwrapping a 200 dollar tv he asked them for. My grandma told him that's his pie. His Xmas gift. Out of everyone here he's the only one that cares about mine and your dad's finances. He won't let us buy him a gift for instance like a 200 dollar tv. She just glares at him. He just shut his mouth fer that. My grandma shamed him for try in try in start drama during the holiday.
It's a lot easier to measure the bisquick if you take the bag out of the box before pouring. Cut one of the corners instead of opening the whole top and then it won't fly out everywhere.
My method is to scoop it out with a smaller measuring cup and use the small cup to fill the bigger cup.
Love the name, and it looks delish!!! ❤️❤️❤️
My mom's buttertart squares (effectively egg and brown sugar and pecans on a shortbread base) do the crackly thing if you leave them in the oven a few minutes too long, might be the combination of egg and sugar.
Reminds me of Butterscotch Brownies, like the ones in the Betty Crocker Cooky Book. (That's how they spell "cooky." Although I typically milk chocolate chips for the nuts.
I have a wide mouth flour jar that I fill with bags in the sink. But I only fill it 3/4 of the way so I can put a measuring cup into it, and the excess falls back in the jar.
Just an FYI if you cannot find Bisquick in your area. You can make your own at home. 6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening, cubed
Instructions
Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse ingredients for about 15 seconds.
Add in the vegetable shortening and pulse the processor until the mixture resembles cornmeal. I do mine by hand with a cut in tool.
Place homemade Bisquick into an airtight container and store within the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Hi Emmy, I'm your big fan. I love the way you show us the food you cook or you buy. I have a request: a video on Plumpy-Nut ❤
Would mini chocolate chips be a good addition? Or would it be too sweet? Or add unsweetened cocoa to the batter? They look good as is, but I'm in a chocolate mood. Thank you for your recipes.
@Emmy I’m really good w/ a cast iron - not so much at baking. Can any of these work in a bread machine? - I’ve been wicked strapped for time. Thanks!
I’m going to try this but with coconut, because pecans or walnuts don’t like me 😢
Thank you Emmy!
My dad also loved Butter Pecan ice cream, I never did but I can have it today all these years later and think of him - ❤ also with the smell of a Bourbon and Ginger Ale 😂❤ food memories are the best ❤
In order to control messes you can put your measuring cup in the bowl you are using. It keeps the mess off of the counter.
Emmy is the only channel I watch that has helix sleep as a sponsor. She is also the only channel I watch that only has Stearns and foster mattresses for ads. Stearns and foster is the ONLY ad I get on Emmys channel
It is just.weird 😂
I am a corner woman. This dessert looks pretty good, but sweet. Did the cake rise in the oven and fall? Emmy, you brought back good memories for me. My dad's favorite ice cream was butter pecan and my mom would make impossible pie ❤
Glad am not the only one who sheds hair when I cooking...have to pull up my hair now....chocolate chips would be nice in the Sad Cake...Vanilla Ice cream would be awesome with this....😊
My mom used Bisquick for dumplings and stew, or stewed tomatoes and dumplings. Yum.
I want all of it!!! I an going to make this recipe, it's like a blonde brownie. I can taste the pecans through the screen. Yummmmm!!! ❤🙏🍰🙏❤
And now I'm adding bisquick to my shopping list... 😅
I'm going to make this. I 💕 blondies and that's what it reminds me of. Thanks for sharing
If you want an easy way to get in the bisquick bag, you need a measuring cup that's oval instead of round. I can't remember for the life of me where I got mine (probably inherited) but they've worked so so well with flour and other dry batters like pancake. OR just take the bag out of the box and then you'll have more space to fit the cup in lol
My Sad cake recipe has oil and coconut in addition. It is definitely a bar cookie, but with the addition of the coconut it makes it chewier.
I don't like pecans in stuff. Do you think you could replace it with oats, kinda like an oatmeal cookie? If so, how much?
I feel like I could recite your helix sleep pitch by now 😂 you really make me tempted to try one of their mattresses but I just got my purple a couple years ago
I'm going to make this and serve it with stewed cinnamon apples. Mmmm!
Butter Pecan is my all time favorite ice cream! Ron's Ice Cream in Hyde Park Ma. has the best I've ever had... buttery, slightly salty and chock full of pecans! 😋
Back in the day of this cake, there was the rhyme; "A pint is a pound the world around." For some reason, a pound of sugar seems a lot more than 2 cups of sugar. I wonder how this cake would taste with pineapple.
I ran into the simplest version of this recipe (Bisquick, eggs and brown sugar only) elsewhere a couple months ago. It looked like and had the texture of a fudgy brownie (just not chocolate), but tastes like a very sweet chocolate chip cookie without chocolate chips! Will have to try Emmy's adaptation.
Edit: I usually prefer the middle, but this one is edges all the way!
Love when Emmy uploads, even if it’s sad lol
Bisquick also makes some yummy spoon dumplings.
I should the exact same feeling with butter pecan ice cream. Most of my family really likes it especially my mom, but I'm not very big on it
Butter pecan is one of my favorite flavors (sometimes only coffee will do😅). I prefer Talenti, which is superb. Maybe you'll give BPIC another try?
I will definitely try this one looks yummy!!😊
This looks very delicious...thanks Emmy for going on strong many many Years ❤❤🎉
I was thinking it looked like blondies, so it’s funny that it reminds you of that! Nice video, Emmy!
We tried to make a gingerbread snack cake, however something went wrong and it didn’t rise. Ended up with gingerbread brownies. Soft, chewy and delicious. Fails are not always bad.
I’ve had my Danish whisk for a few years use it all the time
"I love you Dad"
Yeah.... that's a great shout-out
We bought a Helix mattress 2 years ago for our Cottage rental and guests always say it’s a comfortable sleep!
always assumed the thin crackly top is just like a thin layer of 'meringue' that forms as the eggs react with the sugar in the oven
Woohoo an Emmy video right on time !!! 💙
I completely relate with the memories around food.
