In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Kentucky favorite–Traditional Country Ham Biscuits. She also adds a sweet treat to serve on the side!

Ingredients:

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 stick butter or margarine, softened to room temperature
2/3 to 3/4 cup milk

Place 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Add butter or margarine. With a fork or pastry blender, cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently push the flour mixture to the edges of the bowl, making a well in the center. Pour the milk (a little at a time) into the well, and blend the milk into the flour mixture, until it forms a ball. Do not over-mix. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 10 to 12 times. On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll dough to approximately 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, butter tops and bottoms, and place on a baking pan. Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 450 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Place about (3) 2-inch squares of country ham in each biscuit and arrange in a nice pattern on a serving platter. Enjoy!

Country Brown Sugar-Butter Filling for biscuits:

2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar

With a fork, mash and blend brown sugar into softened butter. Place in a small serving bowl, and serve as a filling for fresh, hot biscuits…Yum!!!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Benedictine Party Spread. This is a light cucumber and cream cheese spread, containing a tiny bit of green pepper and minced onion. I made this in combination with Bettys Spicy Flour Tortilla Crackers (to be uploaded soon), but you can serve it with any cracker or chip, or as a lovely and tasty spread on fresh bread. You can even serve it as a dip for raw vegetables—It is very versatile!

Ingredients:

8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup grate cucumber, well drained (I even squeeze out the extra juice with a paper towel.)
2 teaspoons finely chopped green pepper
1 ½ teaspoon grated onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper (You may use black pepper, if you dont have the white.)

Combine all ingredients. I combine them with a fork, and then beat them with an electric mixer for a very smooth consistency. Chill. Serve with Bettys Spicy Flour Tortilla Crackers. Wonderful!!!

In this video, Betty and Rick have dinner at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. We went in search of the authentic Hot Brown Sandwich. The sandwich was created in the 1920′s by the chef at the Brown Hotel, where as many as 1,200 guests came each evening to dance in the grand ballroom. Afterwards, in the “wee” hours of the morning, the guests would grow tired of dancing and retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Bored with the traditional ham & eggs, Chef Fred Schmidt delighted his guests by creating The Hot Brown–an open-face turkey sandwich with bacon, tomatoes, and a delicate mornay sauce, The Hot Brown (a Louisville tradition with worldwide appeal) has been featured in Southern Living, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and on NBC’s Today Show, as well as a regular entry in many of the finest cookbooks. I have already made a hot brown sandwich that you might order at a typical Kentucky restaurant in bettyskitchen. Tomorrow, I will be uploading the true Brown Hotel Hot Brown Sandwich! This video shows the complete dinners that Rick and I ordered and also some of the historic flavor and fun of the Brown Hotel. I hope you enjoy it! –Betty

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make the Brown Hotel Version of the Hot Brown Sandwich. This is the sandwich I ordered when Rick and I dined at the English Grill in the Brown Hotel recently. The sandwich is an open-face turkey sandwich with bacon, tomatoes, and a delicate Mornay sauce. It is delicious!!!

(This recipe makes two hot browns.)

Ingredients:

2 oz. whole butter
2 oz. all-purpose flour
1 quart heavy cream
½ cup Pecorino Romano cheese, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
14 oz. sliced roasted turkey breast
2 slices of Texas toast (crust trimmed)
4 slices of crispy bacon
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced in half
paprika
parsley

In a two-quart saucepan, melt butter and slowly whisk in flour until combined and forms a thick paste (roux). Continue to cook roux for two minutes over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Whisk whipping cream into the roux and cook over medium heat until the cream begins to simmer, about 2-3 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and slowly whisk in Pecorino Romano cheese until the Mornay sauce is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For each Hot Brown, place one slice of toast in an oven-safe dish and cover with 7 ounces of turkey. Take the two halves of Roma tomatoes and set them along side the base of turkey and toast. Next, pour one-half of the Mornay sauce to completely cover the dish. Sprinkle with additional Pecorino Romano cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until cheese begins to brown and bubble. Remove from broiler, cross two pieces of crispy bacon on top, sprinkle with paprika and parsley, and serve immediately. I hope you enjoy this famous sandwich! –Betty

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Join the Club! Sandwich. It is a club sandwich with a zesty dressing that can be served as a hearty sandwich or in dainty triangles. Great for any mix of guests!

Ingredients:

½ cup sour cream
1 ½ tablespoons prepared (creamy) horseradish
1 teaspoon honey mustard
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
dash of ground black pepper
8 slices of whole wheat or whole grain bread (for 4 sandwiches)
½ pound very thinly sliced honey ham (from the deli)
8 sandwich slices of Swiss cheese
8 lettuce leaves, washed and dried with paper towel
½ pound very thinly sliced oven roasted turkey (from the deli)
8 tomato large slices (or 16 smaller tomato slices)
8 slices cooked, crisp bacon
16 pimiento-stuffed green olives
16 toothpicks

Combine ½ cup sour cream, 1 ½ tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon honey mustard, 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mix thoroughly, and set aside. To prepare 1 sandwich, toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread, and build your sandwich on one slice (to be topped with the other slice). Place 2 thin slices of ham (folded over, if necessary) on a slice of toasted bread. Spread with the 1 teaspoon of the sour cream mixture. Next, add 1 slice of Swiss cheese, followed by 2 thin slices of turkey. Spread the top of the turkey with 1 teaspoon of the sour cream mixture. Now, place a leaf or two of lettuce, followed by 1 or 2 tomato slices. On top of this, place a slice of crisp bacon that has been divided into 2 equal parts. Repeat all layers: the ham, dressing, cheese, turkey, dressing, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. Place the other toasted slice of bread on top, and press down to settle the sandwich. The sandwich may be served just like this (for a hearty sandwich), or you may slice it diagonally in both directions, forming 4 triangles. Skewer a pimiento-stuffed olive onto each of 4 toothpicks, and secure each triangle with a pick. This makes a delicate sandwich for brunch or an elegant lunch. Serve with vegetable chips or crisp vegetables—a wonderful meal!!!
