• 12 tablespoons loose black tea
• 2 cups cake flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, room temperature

Lemon Sweet Tea Buttercream

• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened

Garnishes

• Candied Lemons or Fresh Lemon Slices

Instructions

Sweet Tea Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 350° F. and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. 

Cupcake Tip

Add a little bit of rice to the bottom of each cupcake well to avoid greasy liners once baked. The rice will absorb some of the oil.

First, bring the milk just to a boil in medium saucepan, turn off the heat and remove from the eye of the stove. Add the loose tea leaves and give them a stir. Steep for 15 minutes. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the liquid into a bowl. 

Second, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Add the sugar, oil, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat for 30 seconds. Mix in the sour cream. Next, mix in the eggs one at a time. Alternate adding the flour and 3/4 cup tea milk until just combined. Avoid over mixing.

Third, fill the cupcake wells evenly 3/4 full and bake for 15 minutes.

Rotate the pan and continue to bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the cupcake pan and cool on a baking rack. 

Lemon Sweet Tea Buttercream

Add the butter, cream cheese, lemon zest, and confectioners’ sugar into a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the 1/4 cup remaining tea milk and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

The Fun Part

Swirl big dollops of the Lemon Sweet Tea Frosting onto the tops of the Sweet Tea Cupcakes and swirl with the back of a spoon.

Garnish with a sprinkle of sanding sugar, lemon zest, a straw (or a candy stick), and a lemon slice (or a candied lemon slice”.

The Best Creamy Classic Egg Salad Sandwich

I have loved egg salad sandwiches since I was a little girl and have continued to crave them here and there my entire life. They are like trendy song that you cannot get out of your head. Secondly, they are addictive. In fact, you might find yourself craving them and searching for them on local menus.

I have a feeling I am not alone when it comes to this delight.

When you bite into the soft bread, you teeth sink into a pillow of fluffy and creamy deliciousness that makes you feel jubilant . In fact, you might find yourself craving them and searching for them on local menus.

You’re Invited!

Today I am sharing my classic egg salad sandwich recipe with YOU!

History and Origin of the Egg Salad Sandwich

The egg salad sandwich was invented in 1762 shortly after the invention of mayonnaise in 1756. Therefore, eggs were easy to get and inexpensive. A genius mixed the two together, and served it on fresh baked bread. Alast, a show-stopper that has stood the test of time.

In addition, one of the earliest known printed recipes for egg salad for the egg salad sandwich was published in the 1896 edition of the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book written by Fannie Farmer.

Are Egg Salad Sandwiches Healthy

Eggs have high levels of protein,lutein, choline, and B vitamins. Secondly, eggs help prevent breast cancer and macular degeneration while keeping hearts healthy.

Sparkle Tip: Swap the mayonnaise for whole greek yogurt. Fage is a fantastic choice and is easily found in most grocery stores. Swap the bread for lettuce!

How Many Eggs Are In An Egg Salad Sandwich?

This recipe makes 5 to 6 sandwiches and I used 10 eggs. Therefore, there are two eggs give or take in each egg salad sandwich.

Egg Salad Sandwiches the Masters in Augusta, Georgia

The pimento cheese sandwiches aren’t the only star of the show at the famous Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Likewise, served in thin green plastic bags by the hundreds, the egg salad sandwich stands hand in hand with delicious pimento cheese served between two slices of white bread. Would you believe both go for $1.50 each. Likewise, this price certainly supports my love for Egg Salad Sandwiches.

WHY IS IT CALLED POUND CAKE?

Pound cakes date back to the 1700’s and gets the name because of how it is made. Originally, the recipe called for one pound of butter, one pound of sugar, and one pound of eggs.

WHAT DOES ADDING SOUR CREAM TO A POUND CAKE DO?

.Because of the high fat content and acidity, sour cream adds moisture without thinning the cake batter, adds creaminess, controls browning, and helps to activate the baking soda.

WHY SHOULD I USE CAKE FLOUR VERSUS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR IN A POUND CAKE?

Cake flour is lighter than all-purpose flour. Therefore, it makes a less dense cake.

WHY DO YOU WHIP THE EGGS IN A POUND CAKE?

Egg whites helps the cake to rise and creates great volume! Secondly, the egg whites create a beautiful crispy cracked crust.

In the golf world, April means The Masters Golf Tournament is here, my dear! It is time to plan a party. You cannot throw a good masters party without adding azaleas somewhere in the mix. Even if you don’t live in an area with azaleas in bloom, I have you covered with a faux azalea blooms link. Let’s Get this Masters Tournament par-tee started!

How To Create A Masters Golf Tournament Azalea Tablescape

Tablecloth – A Faux Grass Covering

This tablescape is inspired by the pristine grass at the National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. I used this Grizzly Grass Carpet from Lowe’s. I purchased the least amount required from the roll to fit the length and width of my table. It was less than a dollar per square foot. I will have enough left over to cut six placemats for a future tablescape. Perhaps for Easter, a Picnic, a BBQ, Tailgating, or a Kentucky Derby celebration?! (Note the faux grass detail in the photo below.)

Masters Golf Tournament Centerpiece Flowers

Masters Golf Tournament Azalea Tablescape Blooms

Azaleas

The National Golf Club in Augusta has over 30 varieties of azaleas and thousands of bushes. I am fortunate to live in the south where azalea bushes are like fireworks in the spring. I cut these blooms from our yard. Not to worry if azaleas don’t bloom in your area or you don’t have them handy, these faux azalea stems will be just as pretty on your table. You can find them in crafts stores too.

Snowballs or Hydrangeas

Goodness me I love hydrangeas and snowball blooms! I keep hydrangeas in our home year round, as they are easy to find in most grocery stores. Snowball blooms are a treat. If you have a tree you can cut from, use them.

Little Luna Leaves – Hanging

These Little Luna Leaves are faux on this tablescape. They are a great to have on hand as they are perfect for fillers in live and faux arrangements.

Masters Golf Tournament Azalea Centerpiece How–To

Prep the live azalea and hydrangea blooms with plastic bud tubes. Simply fill them with water, put the caps on, and stick the bloom stem into the tiny hole in the cap.

Next, arrange the little luna stems down the center of the table tucking them into each other creating a long line.

Lastly, tuck the prepared stems under the little luna leaves hiding the plastic bud tubes.

Note: Fresh azalea, hydrangea, and snowball stems will last in the water tubes for up to 8 hours.

The Masters Golf Place Setting

Place Mats

I use these Catalonia placemats from Serena and Lily for many tablescapes in our home. They are well made as you can feel the quality when handling. I recommend catching these on sale. They come in sets of four.

Dinnerware

If you could have one basic white dinnerware place setting, I would hands down recommend La Porcellana Bianca Firenze. The detail is pretty and they can be used on a formal or a casual table. It is fun to mix and match them with different plates. I USE THEM ALL THE TIME! I used the dinner plate and the salad plate in this tablescape.

Flatware

The flatware pattern in this tablescape is Reed and Barton – 18th century. The simplicity of the design makes the set versatile.

Antique Glasses

I purchased these antique iridescent wine glasses in Georgetown at an estate sale. They aren’t terribly difficult to find in antique stores and online. Simply type, “Iridescent glasses” into your search engine and you are sure to find them. There are even options for modern reproductions.

Salt Cellars and Salt Spoons

These vintage salt cellars were a gift from my dear friend and mentor Nancy. You can find similar pink salt cellars on ebay.

Dinner Napkins and Napkin Rings

These classic pink gingham dinner napkins are from Draper James home. The quality and feel is wonderful. The table runner and matching apron is a must have for spring and summer.

The napkin rings are from Hobby Lobby. They can usually be found in the spring and summer for 40% off.

2 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tiny cubes, cold

Directions

1. Add the 3 grated/shredded cold cheeses, flour, butter cubes, salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper, to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand.

2. Add the ice water and pulse until the mixture comes together into a dough. Add another tablespoon if necessary.

3. Form the dough into two equal square discs.

4. Place the discs in plastic bags and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

5. Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

6. Remove one dough disc from the refrigerator. Use a rolling pin and work into a rectangle equalling 1/8 inch in thickness. Cut off rough edges to finish rectangle.

7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the sough into 3/4 inch squares.

8. Use a straw or a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square.

9. Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Southern Pimento Cheese

Is Pimento Cheese A Southern Thing?

Pimento cheese is a popular southern spread or dip traditionally made with shredded cheddar, mayonaise, pimentos, and sometimes green olives. It is sometimes called the pâté of the deep south.

What is the Secret Ingredient in Pimento Cheese?

The secret ingredients in my pimento cheese is the apple cider vinegar and the cream cheese. The cream cheese adds a richness and the vinegar adds a little bite you just cannot put your finger on. Many southern people have their own versions of this delight. Paula Dean adds garlic powder to hers, Trisha Yearwood beats hers smooth in a blender, and my friend Jenny adds green olives.

How Do You Serve Pimento Cheese?

Pimento cheese is commonly served on crackers, with vegetables, crackers, soft white bread, or on hamburgers.

What Does Pimento Cheese Taste Like?

Pimento cheese is a creamy, cheesy, tangy, and peppery delight to the tastebuds.
