Hello everyone. Ready to put two cans of
0:03
biscuits to work? I'm Katherine with
0:06
Katherine's Plates, where everything is
0:08
simply delicious. We're going to put a
0:11
luscious twist on an old classic, and
0:15
we're going to make blueberry monkey
0:17
bread. H, it's a pull aart kind of a
0:21
loaf with blueberries and a drizzle on
0:24
top. It's going to be so delicious,
0:26
y'all. Check out how I'm going to make
0:28
this one today.
0:29
All right, let's bring our cutting board
0:31
over.
0:32
We're going to open up one of the cans
0:34
of biscuits. I'm using the Grand's
0:37
Southern Homestyle biscuit. Whatever you
0:40
have. You're going to need two cans.
0:44
And these are 16 oz cans each. And
0:49
there's eight biscuits in each can.
0:54
Woo.
0:57
All right, we're going to take them out,
0:58
spread them out, and then we'll come
1:00
back to the other can.
1:03
Now, you can just use a knife or you can
1:05
use some scissors from your kitchen that
1:07
are clean. And we're going to cut these
1:11
into pieces. Looking at doing eight
1:14
pieces. So, we have small little bites.
1:18
So, we're going to do like that right
1:20
there.
1:22
I just cut it in half.
1:25
Each half gets cut four times.
1:33
Now, once we get this can done, we'll do
1:36
the next can. And then we'll just set
1:38
these aside for a minute.
1:46
Nice little summertime breakfast, brunch
1:49
idea,
1:52
dinner, dessert, whatever you want.
1:56
Whoa. Coming out. And oh, that was it.
2:04
Now, in the fall time, y'all go check
2:06
out my channel and find the pumpkin
2:09
spice monkey bread.
2:11
really good one. And in the winter time,
2:16
Rihanna, who's my daughter, we did a hot
2:20
chocolate monkey bread. Oh my goodness.
2:23
The flavors you can do, you guys.
2:26
And then I have a standard monkey bread
2:29
out there also. Oh, go check it out. You
2:32
can find my recipes at
2:33
katherine'splates.com
2:35
and just type something in.
2:39
They're all there for you. That should
2:41
do it right here. We'll set this aside.
2:44
There we go.
2:46
All right, let's make our coating for
2:49
the biscuit pieces. In a small bowl,
2:52
we're going to add in 1/4 cup of
2:54
allpurpose flour.
2:57
1/4 cup white granulated sugar.
3:01
2 tablebspoon of softened butter.
3:07
And then we're going to add in half a
3:09
teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3:13
Now we're going to take a fork and we're
3:15
just going to blend this together so we
3:17
get a nice crumble.
3:21
There's many techniques to making monkey
3:24
bread,
3:27
especially with the coating.
3:30
That's looking pretty good.
3:34
Definitely want nice little crumbs in
3:35
there.
3:38
Yeah, that's what we're looking for
3:39
right there. Y'all see that?
3:44
All right, we're going to bring over a
3:47
Ziploc bag. Now, I'm just using my
3:49
Ziploc bag holder here. It's really
3:51
nice. It extends upwards for your large
3:55
Ziploc bag, or you can take it down for
3:57
a smaller Ziploc bag. We're going to
3:59
place our coating mixture into the bag.
4:09
Okay, while that sits there, we're going
4:11
to make the blueberry filling. Now, to
4:14
make the blueberry pie filling, we're
4:17
going to use blueberry pie filling. Now,
4:19
we need to loosen it up a little bit so
4:21
that it can coat all the biscuits. This
4:23
is a 21 oz size can. I'm going to heat
4:26
it up in a medium saucepan with another
4:29
ingredient and get this going. Now, that
4:32
other ingredient is butter.
4:36
Four tablespoons.
4:38
In our saucepan, we're going to heat
4:40
that on a medium heat. We'll start
4:42
melting that down. Now, while that's
4:44
melting, we're going to go ahead and add
4:45
in our blueberry pie filling. Oh,
4:48
doesn't that look good?
4:51
Still a swipe.
4:53
[Laughter]
4:57
That's good.
4:58
He's excited.
4:59
I am. He is very excited.
5:04
Let's add that all in. We just want to
5:06
heat this through. We're not going to
5:08
boil it or anything.
5:11
I know y'all stay tuned to see how this
5:14
all comes together. And we have a
5:16
delicious cream cheese icing going on
5:19
the top. Oh, it's going to pull it all
5:21
together.
5:23
All right. Once your butter is all
5:25
melted, turn off the heat. Get your bud
5:28
pan. We're going to spray it very
5:31
thoroughly. Make sure you get in all the
5:33
nooks and crannies and everything. That
5:35
way, this monkey bread will come out of
5:37
our pan. I'm going to take this over to
5:39
the sink to do it because I don't want
5:40
it going all over the place and getting
5:42
everything nice and sticky. So, I'll be
5:44
right back.
5:46
There we go.
5:48
Make sure you get that tube shape also
5:51
in there. All right. We're going to
5:53
bring over our topping mixture. We're
5:56
going to bring over our biscuits.
6:01
We go. We're going to put half of them
6:04
into our bag here.
6:17
All right, I think that's half right
6:18
there. Put a few more in.
6:21
I'm going to take them off my stand.
6:26
Zip up your bag.
6:30
You don't want all that coming out.
6:33
All right. What we're going to do is get
6:34
everything nice and coated. All right.
6:36
Just separating some of them that kind
6:38
of stick together.
6:40
That looks really good. All right. We're
6:42
going to put this layer in the bottom
6:46
of our bun pan that we've prepared.
6:55
Now, make sure you leave some of the
6:58
mixture in there so we can do the second
7:01
batch.
7:04
Oh, it smells delicious. And we haven't
7:07
even done the blueberries yet.
7:09
We've got enough crumble for the next
7:11
batch. What we're going to do mixture
7:13
here, drizzle it on top of the coated
7:17
biscuit pieces here.
7:21
Let it ooze on down.
7:27
Y'all drooling yet?
7:29
Yes.
7:30
Let's bring our bag of mixture back over
7:32
the coating. Put the rest of the
7:35
biscuits in it and get these nice and
7:37
coated. And now we're going to take them
7:38
out. We're going to place them on top
7:41
of the the blueberry mixture there. Be
7:44
nice layers. Now, don't smash it in
7:48
there. We want that blueberry filling to
7:50
go in between these, too. Get all in
7:53
between. All right, let's finish it off
7:55
with the blueberry pie filling.
8:01
Look at that. Mhm.
8:04
I've got my oven preheated at 350°.
8:07
I've got a sheet pan here. I'm going to
8:09
cover it with some foil.
8:13
This is to protect our oven. If this
8:16
goes over the sides just a little bit,
8:17
you don't want that blueberry pie
8:19
filling in your oven. All right, it'll
8:21
catch it right there. I'm going to place
8:24
this in the oven for about 45 minutes
8:26
until it is baked through completely.
8:29
And then we've got a drizzle we got to
8:32
put on this to finish it off. I've
8:35
pulled this out of the oven. I've let it
8:38
rest in the pan for 10 minutes. And what
8:42
I'm going to do is go around the outside
8:44
just a little bit. Pop it out using a
8:47
knife. I'm just going around the edges
8:50
here. And we'll do that on the tube
8:53
also. That way we can make sure
8:55
everything pops out. Now you're going to
8:57
take your serving tray, platter, plate,
9:00
whatever you have, and you want to put
9:03
it upside down
9:05
on your bunt pan.
9:07
And what we're going to do is flip the
9:09
whole thing over.
9:13
There we go.
9:16
And we're just going to thunk it a
9:17
little bit.
9:19
Loosen up. I'm going to grab the sides.
9:22
Use your towel cuz it's going to be hot.
9:28
All right. There we go. Look at that
9:30
thing. Isn't that beautiful? Now, what
9:32
we're going to do is let that cool down,
9:35
and then we're going to make that
9:36
delicious cream cheese frosting to put
9:39
on top. We're going to place 4 oz of
9:42
cream cheese that I've brought to room
9:44
temperature into a medium bowl. I'm
9:46
going to use the whisk attachment for my
9:49
electric hand mixer, and we're going to
9:50
smooth out the cream cheese.
9:54
Now, I've got 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered
9:57
sugar, and I'm going to add it in about
9:58
half a cup at a time.
10:01
And then I have a little bit of milk
10:03
here. And we'll add about a teaspoon or
10:05
so just to get it started. And we'll go
10:07
back and forth until we get a nice
10:09
smooth consistency.
10:10
[Music]
10:12
Now, at this point, I'm going to go
10:13
ahead and add about half a teaspoon of
10:17
lemon juice.
10:19
We don't want to overpower it.
10:23
Blend that in.
10:25
[Music]
10:27
All right. I'm going to add the rest of
10:28
the powdered sugar.
10:31
little bit of the milk.
10:33
And what we want to do is get to a stage
10:36
where this will drizzle on top of our
10:38
blueberry monkey bread.
10:41
That looks really good. Let's drizzle it
10:43
on.
10:59
All right. All right. Now, I'm going to
11:00
put some down in the center.
11:02
Mhm.
11:03
All right. Here's my bite.
11:13
That drizzle on top, that lemon flavor
11:16
really picks up those blueberries.
11:19
That's delicious.
11:22
M.
11:24
What did y'all think of my luscious
11:26
twist on an old classic blueberry monkey
11:31
bread? Pull it apart, you guys. That's
11:34
delicious, you guys. Thomas is over
11:36
there making his coffee.
11:40
I'm ready.
11:41
He's ready. All right, you guys. What do
11:44
y'all think? Oh, delicious. Put a lid on
11:48
that.
11:51
There we go.
11:53
That won't keep them from it, though.
11:55
No, it won't.
