when we’re talking about Cowboys and we’re talking about cooking two things were the life’s blood Cowboy coffee and a cat head biscuit you got to have them both to get in the saddle and stay all day [Music] long on this really Frosty day here in Camp join us for some cat head biscuits and some Cowboy Coffee but let’s just see how cold it is here on the chef’s temp it’s laying out here 24° now with the wind blowing about 10 that’d make the wind chill I’d say around 10° but hey y’all seen us just the other day cooking in a snowstorm so we can surely cook in this so let’s get to making some biscuits you know we want to thank Chef temp for sponsoring this video and y’all have seen me use this probe right here so many times but folks we’re actually going to use it today when we’re cooking them biscuits but also checking the water temperature on that coffee to make the perfect cup of Cowboy Coffee not only do they have their final touch thermometer here that is a great meat Pro but also they have that Chef temp Pro Plus which is so great for longer Cooks because I could be cooking something right now have it in there and be in the house warmed up by the fire would be really nice and they just launch their new Breo yes it is now it is a fan that is regulated by a temperature control that you hook to the bottom of your smoker or your grill to wherever your air intake valve is and when your cooking temperature drops below what you need this fan will kick on to give you a little air to keep that temperature at a constant to where you want it when you’re cooking and for our fans they have a discount that you can use so be sure and check out chef Temp and all their great products now done a little experimenting a little researching everything in the world and folks if you just make them with straight allpurpose flly to me they get a little bit crumbly so cake flly and this combined hey I think it’ll make the best biscuit ever so we’re going to start with a cup and a half of each one this is the cake flour and then I really like to use King Arthur when I’m making bread because I think it just it’s just such a good flour and they’re not paying me to say that add a little salt we’re going to use about 2 and 1/2 tablespoons we are of baking powder if you can’t get your bread to rise when you’re cooking at a really high elevation add your little baking soda to your baking powder it will really help it will pardon me while I dig around in here for some sugar cuzz we got to have some may not be look there let me go fetch some about 2 tablespoons of sugar now we going to mix that wh we are before we go any further and how many of you when you’re making bread I need to know because I have done it I have not done it and I didn’t do it today and that is sift your flour you get a little more air in there you do I think it really helps you get a little more pop to it but we’re going to leave it like that now this recipe may shock some of y’all but it calls for 12 tablespoons of butter I do love me some butter and it says use cold butter now when you use butter don’t scrimp on butter unless you’re making your own homemade butter I love carry gold and ain’t paying me to say that neither if you’re cutting butter in somewhere or you’re using like for a pie crust or biscuits so much easier just to grate it in there cuz it mixes so well that way so bear with me while we grate this in there I can’t feel my fingers no more I guess I’ll don’t know if I see Blood come off we get them in The Grater here in a minute now you know making biscuits like I say on a ranch and me and Shen we’d make bread most the time three times a day because we wanted fresh bread all the time for them Cowboys to have and to me there’s an old man told me on a ranch many years ago when I first started he said anybody can fry meat and boil coffee but if you can bake pies bread cake then I’ll call you a cook so there’s a little something to it to cook bread in a dutch oven but it’s not rocket science work or I couldn’t have done it in the first place so just get you working that with your hands it’ll get sort of like a cracker crumb consistency when we get through with it we’re going to use about a tablespoon of bacon grease and we need to work that in just a minute I don’t think you can go wrong with bakon grease anytime day or night whatever you’re putting it in that’s going to bring about a little more moisture but also a little more flavor we’re going to use a cup and A4 of chilled butter milk and I mean it is chilled really good today it is now a lot of times we’d be on a ranch and we’d have milk but we wouldn’t have no buttermilk so how do you make buttermilk when you ain’t got nothing but whole milk lemon juice works really good you can put that in there mix it up hey you’re going to have yourself some buttermilk also vinegar yes ma’am and also some vinegar so take you a little wooden spoon and let’s just go to putting that in there now you can always add a little more liquid to something if you need it but it’s really hard to get enough dry back in there to get it mixed well and get it mixed right so we need to really sort of get a Shaggy dough that we’re going to make because now when this Cooks remember all that butter in there it’s just going to melt spread out through these biscuits I can done tell you I’m going to eat one of them we got this folded in and this flyer to where it’s really a wet what I’d call Shaggy dough and I want to air on the side of wet always when I’m making bread I’m going to fly my hands just a little now you get to talking about cat head biscuits and like I say they’re pre- Civil War and everybody in the world claims that they made them first Mississippi Delta Appalachian country but also even over there in the Great Smoky Mountains let me uh fly this surface right here I don’t know if y’all know it or not but I cannot feel my fingers anymore Shin this is sort of what we’re after I mean you can feel the moisture in there but it’s not sticking to my hands that’s what I want to see we’re going to get it rolled around here just a little more have a little more FL on it I’m going to spread this out a little sort of like a loaf arrange it to where you can cut seven or eight equal pieces out of it to make your biscuits now just shape them sort of into the shape of a ball look in there see that butter all in there folks these things they going to be some of the best cat head biscuits I ever seen in my life [Music] so we got 10in oven I put me about 2 tablespoons of butter in there let it melt really good if you’re doing this in the house go ahead and preheat your oven to 425° and I’d prefer you cook these in a cast iron skillet if you’ve got one but if not get you a baking dish that has a lip on the outside because we don’t want these to spread out this way we want them to spread out this way now being a cat head biscuit they could come in all shapes and sizes one of the things that I learned a long time ago them old Fellers would grease a spoon and they just reach down in that mixing bowl that I had just spoon some off and then just slap them in there and it you never knew what shape it’s going to be but they was always big and then they rose up and they’d say them things is bigger than a cat’s head that’s where the cat head biscuit come from so let me get these ovar Tri it get a lid on them we need to get to cooking [Music] them got an old bir there with that shovel and got me some good Hardy hot colds I did around the outside edge of that trivet pretty light but also pretty light on top now as cold as it is and that old ground has been froze many a night out here it is we’re going to probably lose a little that initial heat the first time so we going have to refire this again uh But be sure and check out our chicken and rice video because we give you some great tips on cooking in cold weather now when I’m cooking bread no matter what kind it is it’s always best to cook it slow because you’re going to get that maximum rise out of your bread so slower we cook it the better it’s going to be now how I judge heat on a dutch oven is pretty simple it is a hands distance away from it and can I hold it more than 5 seconds 1 2 three four it’s pretty hot five so but it’s not just the top it’s also the sides too make sure that you’re staying hot because cast iron holds heat really well and it will distribute it pretty evenly but you want to make sure that them coals maintain the temperature you need if you can hold your hand over it for more than 5 Seconds you probably need to add some fresh heat to it but Shake That Old off because it ain’t doing nothing but [Music] insulate well them biscuits is cooking let’s talk about this black magic I mean this stuff has kept me going and many a cowboy all day long it’s the first thing that we put on the fire when we start early of a morning and it is the last thing to set off to the side before we go to bed now when you go to making that coffee and you see it just sitting over on Old Bera or even over a fire rack on an open fire that gentle breeze that morning would just be blowing it right down there towards all them TPS where them Cowboys is at and you’d hear them zippers unzip on them TPS hear them clanging to the Spurs as they got closer each one of had a favorite coffee cup they always did they’d grab it out of there they take it with them wherever they have it but they’d have it hid that’s a cup I’m going to use for the next four or five weeks and they’d sit there around old berther or that fire and they’d just wait till I called it ready cuz when that coffee is ready you let them ground settle just a minute and you’d see them boys over there pouring a cup it also was a warm in their hands but there warm in their hearts and that’s when the really the camaraderie would start with everybody gathered around they go to talking about the day what was going to take place and then you get somebody straggling in a little late and they’d say man that’s some best sleeping I ever had in my life but I smelled that coffee and I’m ready to go I hope he’s got some biscuits to go with [Music] it Cowboy Coffee to me really got a notoriously bad name for being oh that stuff Stout you can’t drink it it’s bitter it ain’t no good for you folks when you make coffee this way it is the smoothest coffee you’re ever going to have in your life there’s there’s no acid reflux there’s no heartburn there’s no indigestion you can enjoy coffee again this spout has got slotted holes in it back in here but I always fill it up right to the bottom of that spout that’s where I start but I don’t just put it on and then go to adding the coffee to it I let that water warm before I ever start and we’re using our coffee we’re probably going to use about 2 and 1/2 cups now we’ll have this broke down for you because I’m using it in a great big old pot I am something that happened a lot when me and Shan was always on ranches or I’d be cooking coffee somewhere is I’d get busy and I’d look back over here and it’d be trying to boil over real quick it would so I learned a trick I like to stir that in there I seem like it helps be sure and get around the edge there [Music] [Applause] too as you watch that coffee you see it go to making a foam and when that foam starts take that wooden spoon and give it a stirring cuz you ain’t fur off from what’s F happen a boiling because when that foam gets up there if you ain’t paying attention and you may have to regulate your heat and turn it down just a little you want to get that rolling bowl that foam will disappear and it’ll just roll that boil will go when that first starts start your clock right there I like to go 4 to 5 minutes but I checked that temperature when that was boiling first started at 196 it got up to about 205° and that is good enough for me because that’s hot enough to break down the tanin and the bean which releases the acid we’re going to let it set here probably 3 or 4 minutes off the fire then we’re going to pour a little cool water around the outside edge and down the spout which settles the grounds to the bottom we’re not cracking the egg in there I like coffee and I like eggs but I don’t like them in the same pot a lot of people would say hey I put it in a sock put all them grounds in there tied it up dropped it in there I used to tell them this who wore the sock before you put the coffee in it so this is the best method it’s been tried it’s been tested Cowboys approved it for so many years and if you’ll try this coffee smooth this coffee in the world but we need to check them biscuits you know them biscuits look the right color on the top I can’t see the bottom but the edges of them biscuits have separated from that wall of that Dutch oven so I know that bottom is really close that’s why I took it off the Bott botom heat earlier we’re going to break out that Chef’s temp and see if we can get us an internal temperature on that bread which ought to be pretty close to 190 I would hope so we are still climbing right along you know we’re pretty close to getting them biscuits right done on the money we like just a little so I’m going to give it a little blast of heat right there on the bottom but the top is good enough and there we’re going to go be good to go we’ll pour some coffee and have us a cat head biscuit [Music] this is the color we’re looking for right here and that’ll set up right there now when you take them biscuits out you get ready to eat them let them set about 4 or 5 minutes before you do that because this is really a pretty delicate biscuit and I want to know look at there there is a lot of moisture in there there is what I call a lot of goodness in there but you see the little holes in here all the way through there that is air which makes biscuits light and fluffy and they float off into the biscuit Wonderland they do but I’m going to go ahead and just try about of these cuz I haden’t had one in about 10 years that right there is a delicious biscuit all in its own now before I even begin to dance I want y’all to look over here the snow has had a hard day has snow so let me have one more little bite one little jig of coffee makes you want to do that I was asleep but I woke up for this because it is dinomite out of sight I love a good biscuit everything’s all right I do get a lot of questions too about if you’re making that much coffee and it’s just me and the wife what are we going to do with it you can store this coffee go ahead now if you’re really particular just get your big old mason jar after this coffee sits here a minute put your strainer over it pour that through there let it come to room temperature put it in the ice box next morning you can either put it in a saucepan to warm it up or you can slap it in mic before we even go there there’s so many things that you can make coffee in but hey we’ll have a recipe broke down where if you’ve got one of them little pots to where you can make it too but it is the smoothest thing in the world it is and a light and fluffy biscuit cat head woo I’m loving them you know I’d really like to thank Chef’s temp again what a great company and what a great bunch of people they have sure supported as well I need you folks to try out their products because you won’t be
