All right, it's as simple as King's
0:02
Hawaiian rolls and lemon pie filling and
0:05
some simple ingredients to pull it all
0:07
together. We are going to make lemon pie
0:11
filled Hawaiian rolls.
0:14
Breakfast, brunch, dessert, just anytime
0:18
you want to make these. They're very
0:20
easy to make. All right, these are not
0:23
leaving the house once they're made.
0:24
Thomas said, "Nope, we're not taking
0:26
these anywhere." He gets the first
0:28
batch. All right, you guys. I'm
0:31
Katherine with Katherine's Plates, where
0:32
it's always simple, easy, and delicious
0:34
in my kitchen.
0:36
Let's go ahead and get started. First
0:38
thing we want to do is work with these
0:40
King's Hawaiian rolls and get them ready
0:42
because y'all don't just put this in
0:46
here and call it a day, okay? Because
0:48
it's not going to taste good. So, let's
0:51
jazz these up a little bit. And then
0:53
we'll put that in there. That's where
0:55
we're getting our lemon pie from. Right
0:58
here.
1:00
Bring over a 9 by13 baking dish. Now,
1:04
you're going to need butter for this
1:06
recipe. So, I took the butter out of
1:08
this wrapper here. And I'm going to use
1:09
the wrapper just to lightly grease our 9
1:13
by13 baking dish here.
1:16
Why not?
1:18
It's free, right?
1:21
That way our rolls won't stick.
1:26
Okay. Once you get that done,
1:29
now you can toss that.
1:32
We're going to take a 12count package of
1:35
Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls
1:39
and we're going to separate them into
1:41
our baking dish. Just place it on the
1:44
top of that butter there.
1:50
Now, I've made something similar to this
1:52
before for you guys, and it was the
1:54
cinnamon roll, Hawaiian rolls, and those
1:57
were a major hit. I mean, major hit.
2:01
This is kind of like a lemon filled
2:04
doughut, right? But we're going to fill
2:06
the Hawaiian rolls like a lemon fil
2:09
donut. Okay? So, break them apart and
2:11
just put them in your baking dish.
2:14
That way all the goodness
2:18
will go between the rolls
2:23
and not just on the tops.
2:26
So that's why we're breaking them open.
2:29
They don't have to be too far apart,
2:32
but we just want some room in between.
2:40
Like that. Now, what you're going to
2:42
want to do is take one of the rolls.
2:45
Take a kind of a steak knife. It's a
2:48
serrated knife and it's a small one. And
2:50
what we're going to do is drive our
2:52
knife through it about halfway along the
2:54
edges of it.
2:56
And we're going to take off that top.
2:59
So, go down enough to where we can pull
3:00
that out.
3:02
You don't want to go all the way down to
3:04
the bottom.
3:07
We want do want to leave some of that
3:08
roll in there.
3:13
And then we'll pop that out.
3:18
Like that there. Now, I'm going to bring
3:19
you up here and show you a closeup
3:21
really quick. Grab a bowl, put the
3:24
leftover tops in there, cuz we're not
3:26
going to need it. But you can certainly
3:29
like put this in a Ziploc bag, put it in
3:31
your freezer, and use it for breadcrumbs
3:33
for like your meatloaf, meatballs, or
3:36
any kind of topping that you use bread
3:38
for. You have it right there.
3:42
All right, y'all. Come on down. Now, I
3:44
like doing it this way. You get a good
3:47
filling inside of it. There are
3:50
different ways to do this.
3:52
People go in and they do an X and then
3:55
they just pipe in the filling, but to
3:57
me, that is like I don't think it's
3:59
going where it needs to go. I just do it
4:01
like this. It's just easier. Pull off
4:04
the top just like that.
4:07
And then I go in and just rip out some
4:09
of it. You want to go about halfway
4:11
down.
4:15
And then it'll look like that. I'm going
4:17
to do the rest of them and I'm going to
4:19
bring you back.
4:21
All right, we're on the last one.
4:25
Just make your square
4:28
about halfway down on each side, leaving
4:31
an edging to hold that filling. Pop out
4:34
the top.
4:36
Put it in your bowl and then pull out
4:39
anything excess you want out of there.
4:43
There we go.
4:47
Look at that.
4:49
We're going to coat the insides of our
4:52
Hawaiian rolls. Give it some nice
4:54
flavor. Get it nice and moist in there.
4:57
It'll be like really delicious. So, in a
5:00
small bowl, I melted 1/3 cup of butter.
5:04
To that, I'm going to add one tablespoon
5:06
of granulated sugar. Y'all, come on.
5:09
It's a dessert. Y'all come at me in the
5:11
comments sometimes and it's like, well,
5:14
it's a dessert. What do you think's in
5:15
it? Sugar.
5:18
So, we're going to add that.
5:22
And then we're going to add some honey.
5:25
Yeah. Offset all of that. About one
5:29
tablespoon of honey. This one here has
5:32
the honeycomb in it.
5:37
That'll make my husband very happy.
5:40
There we go.
5:43
Over to the sink.
5:46
All right.
5:50
Now, reach over to your lemon tree. Grab
5:52
a lemon. I've already washed it off. And
5:54
we're going to zest some into our
5:56
mixture here.
5:59
Y'all don't have a lemon tree in your
6:01
kitchen. What?
6:04
Better get one.
6:06
I'm just kidding.
6:10
It's fake.
6:13
But it looks nice.
6:16
About one teaspoon.
6:20
Wake up some flavors in there.
6:25
We'll use the rest of that lemon here in
6:27
just a minute. Take a little whisk or a
6:29
fork and we're going to blend this
6:31
together.
6:34
Oh, that smells delicious in there.
6:38
All right, I'm going to give it a try.
6:39
I'm going to see if that honey balanced
6:41
out that lemon juice.
6:48
Wow, y'all. That honey. Oh, we
6:55
Yeah.
6:56
M gosh, it's it's like a warm flavor to
7:01
that lemon. Don't forget that step. Grab
7:04
you some honey.
7:06
All right,
7:08
we get rid of the whisk.
7:12
Wipe off our finger.
7:15
If you know, you know. All right, take a
7:18
baking brush.
7:21
Is that what it's called?
7:23
And then we're going to slather
7:25
this butter, honey, sugar mixture with a
7:29
little lemon zest in there on top of the
7:31
rolls.
7:34
Just coat them. Coat them all. Make sure
7:38
get inside. Swirl it around.
7:43
I promise you guys, if you make this for
7:46
somebody or take it to a potluck or
7:48
anything like that, they're going to
7:50
make you make more. 12 is not going to
7:52
be enough at all.
7:59
This sauce right here alone is
8:02
delicious.
8:04
It's delicious. Make sure you have
8:08
enough of that for all 12. Don't go
8:10
crazy on the first few and then wind up
8:11
with nothing for the rest of them. All
8:14
right,
8:18
get on in there. See that? How I did
8:20
that?
8:22
Just pat all the sides and then go down
8:24
the back sides.
8:27
There we go.
8:34
Yeah.
8:36
Give it a nice doughut feel to the
8:39
Hawaiian rolls here.
8:44
If you run out, you could just make some
8:45
more.
8:52
I want to really make sure that I get on
8:54
the insides
8:58
and coat the outside, which I guess is
9:01
everything, huh? Just slap it on in
9:04
there.
9:05
Slather your brush and slather it on.
9:11
And then slap the insides of it.
9:18
And if you have any more
9:24
go around the edges.
9:30
Yeah.
9:32
Use all of it. Use all of it.
9:37
No waste.
9:40
Get the back sides.
9:43
Somebody better be making me these for
9:47
Mother's Day.
9:49
It's coming up.
9:52
I'll make these for my mom. Hi, Mom. You
9:55
want some of these lemon pie filled
9:58
Hawaiian rolls?
10:02
I think somebody's knocking on my door.
10:04
Is that my mom already?
10:07
Remember, these are not leaving the
10:09
house, so I have to make another batch.
10:10
All right, you guys. Let's fill these.
10:14
Okay, another simple ingredient. It's
10:17
already made for you. This is a lemon
10:19
pie filling. This is by Lucky Leaf and
10:22
it's a 22 oz can. I wasn't sure if I was
10:26
going to need one can or two cans, but
10:28
that's okay because whatever's left of
10:30
the second can or the second can be used
10:32
for another batch.
10:41
Wow.
10:43
I can taste that King's Hawaiian roll
10:45
wrapped around that pie filling. It's
10:47
delicious.
10:51
Cookie scoop, y'all. This is the one and
10:54
1/2 inch, the small one. Go into your
10:58
pie filling.
11:00
You don't have to fill it totally up,
11:02
okay? But we do want to fill up our
11:04
holes on the King's Hawaiian rolls.
11:09
And this is the easiest tool to get your
11:12
pie filling into there. So, we're just
11:15
going to fill them up to the top. To the
11:18
top. Yeah. All right, y'all. Come over
11:22
here and look at this. I'm telling you
11:23
what, it looks scrumptious. We still
11:25
have another layer to do to this after
11:27
these bake. All right. Of course we do.
11:30
All right. So, just go in
11:37
Pop it on out. Look at that, you guys.
11:39
Oh, I think one can will be enough.
11:47
Get on in there. Push it. Push it. There
11:50
we go. No crying on my show, you guys.
11:53
No crying. Go get your own.
12:01
Yeah. Little bit more on that one. All
12:05
right, that was a weird camera angle,
12:07
huh?
12:10
There we go. All right, I'm going to
12:11
fill the rest of these up.
12:15
All right, I'm going to fill up where I
12:16
need to look at these, you guys. Look at
12:19
that. Now,
12:23
that was a 22 oz can, and I have about
12:26
onethird of the can left.
12:30
So, we don't even need the other can.
12:32
I'm so excited. I'm so excited. So
12:34
excited. I've got my oven preheated at
12:37
375°.
12:40
We're going to bake these for about 12
12:41
to 14 minutes to kind of get them nice
12:43
and crispy and heated through. Once that
12:47
happens, we're going to cool these down
12:48
and then I'm going to top them. So,
12:51
y'all come back cuz we're going to give
12:53
these a try. Well, maybe I am because
12:56
he's not here right now. So, boo.
12:59
Anyway, there we go you guys. Y'all look
13:03
at how glistening these are.
13:06
All right, let's make a really easy
13:08
glaze.
13:11
We're going to start with half a cup of
13:14
powdered sugar. And I'm just going to
13:16
place it into a small bowl.
13:22
I'm going to squeeze in a little fresh
13:24
lemon juice.
13:29
More lemon flavor.
13:33
And then we're going to add a little
13:35
heavy whipping cream or half and half
13:38
regular milk, whatever you got.
13:42
One and two. We'll whisk that together.
13:46
And then we'll see what we got.
13:49
If it's too thick, add more milk. If
13:51
it's too thin, add some more powdered
13:53
sugar.
13:56
Look at that.
13:59
All right, let's glaze our lemon pie
14:03
Hawaiian rolls.
14:07
Just drizzle it on. I want everybody to
14:09
see that lemon
14:13
pie filling on the inside of this.
14:18
Let's see what else we need. All right,
14:20
you guys. I think that's it. Put some
14:22
right there.
14:26
Oh my gosh. Serve these up, you guys.
14:29
Double batching it. Are you?
14:33
Let's take a look.
14:36
We transformed a package of King's
14:38
Hawaiian rolls into this. You guys look
14:43
pillowy softness.
14:49
Nice and filled. Let's take it over to
14:52
our plate.
14:54
We're going to give that a bite. Give it
14:55
a try for you.
15:17
Wow, you guys.
15:21
That tastes like a donut.
15:23
That is my lemon pie
15:27
Hawaiian rolls.
15:29
That's amazing. Make sure you glaze that
15:33
inside with that butter honey mixture.
15:36
That is good. Kind of offsets that
15:39
lemony flavor. Melts it out a little
15:41
bit. It's delicious. And don't forget
15:43
that topping. And put some lemon juice
15:45
in that also. All right, you guys. What
15:48
do y'all think? Oh, making these
15:51
breakfast, lunch, dessert, potlucks,
15:54
whenever you need them, whenever you
15:56
want them. These are staying here.
15:59
They're not leaving the house. So,
16:03
Thomas is going to come by here in a
16:04
little bit when he's done with whatever
16:05
he's doing, and he'll nab a few. All
