    I LOVE how she explained why she was doing and using what she did when making the Blintzes. Like when she said to put half of the flour mix into the liquid. And when she told us WHAT the butter does when you add it. I love learning the "why's" that so many people do not explain. I learn so much on here. So many people don't like all the conversation in youtube videos-but I love all of the information and conversation. Thank you!

    I’ve been watching you ladies cook for years. I can thank you for helping me successfully thirst trap people on social media when I post pics of the food I have created after following one of your recipes.

    I'm in the UK and I've never seen either of these recipes before - but I'm gonna make them this weekend! Thanks so much, love you guys!
  • The crumb buns reminded me of crumb cakes I used to get growing up in NJ and of course Entenmann’s coffee cake. Might make it for my U.K. family as a taste of their mom’s homeland!
  • I am sorry, but it just won't stop making me chuckle a little inside that Bridget is amazed, fascinated, & made hungry by anything and everything that comes out of the oven. (😘) Bridget & Julia are the perfect "Main Presenters" for this Series. Their enthusiasm for food, presentation skills, & personalities make people, who consider themselves "Amateur Chefs", want to push their boundaries. There's never a problem with that. My best example would have to be... baking. I'm bad at it, really bad. I can follow a recipe... & the dish comes out perfect. I can follow a formula, even with YouTube to guide me with visual examples of what to do, & I'll bomb... BIG TIME. And, I have baking in my blood (Great-Grampa on Mom's side (he had a bakery in the "Old Country": Poland) BUT... I've been inspired! I JUST may purchase a small, used stand mixer & start small with some of the simpler formulas. Now recipes, I'm all over those. Just like Bridget, I'm all about the meat. Beef: yep. Chicken, turkey, game hens: yes, yes, & yes, please. Pork (in any/all of its forms: OH...YEA, BABY! Keep up the wonderful work, everyone. The shoes are absolutely beautiful and I love it. Cheers & God Bless.

    My grandmother taught me about Huckleberry Blintz topping. Probably because she lived in Central Illinois, and huckleberries are easier to get. But any good frozen berry works. And don't forget mini blintzes. More work, but extra fun at parties. Make the pancake with a smaller pan and only 1 tablespoon of filling. They are easier to eat in 1 to 2 bites, and are easier to eat in a grazing table.

    I learn so much watching y’all!! Cooking, fun facts as well as what products are best, Thank y’all for sharing!

    Bought the newest cookbook because of this tutorial. I’ve made them twice and they are just as I remembered them growing up in NJ. The second time I doubled the cake part (cause I like the cake) and it was delicious. Thanks ladies

    I learned that salt and yeast should not come into direct contact with each other...that when adding to the bowl, to place the salt on one side and the yeast on the other...and after mixing it was ok that they'd touch because the flour and other ingredients buffered salt's degenerative effect on yeast.

    I make the crumb cake often, it tastes as close to B&W Bakery as I can get since I now live 4 hrs away instead of 15 minutes! Very good recipe.
  • @AuntDuddie
    I have not had a good bagel or a good crumb bun since I moved from NJ to WA. I really have to bake them myself. Thanks for the true crumb bun recipe!
  • The perfect, perfect coffee cake. Thank you so much. I'm going to make this ASAP.
  • @julieb7785
    It's such a lovely idea - to have something in the freezer. just in case.... in our parents' day, friends and relatives dropped in, unannounced and there was genuine festive, hospitality and a quick make-shift spread of some sort...nowadays everyone stays home gaping at FB, and/or has a laundry list of dietary don'ts: sugar, gluten, nuts.
  • @OB17358
    Made the blintzes. Exactly 12. It does take awhile but with delicious results. Crispy, creamy, savory and sweet. Thank you for sharing.
  • @MIngegneri

  • I have a SCAN PAN branded nonstick pan and it's the most delish amazing pan I've ever used! you can use metal utensils in it, I've been using it for 5 years and still no scratches on the nonstick coating.
