S'mores with Chef Frank and Emily | No Expert

This week, I'm joined by the fantabulous @ProtoCookswithChefFrank to make some cool and creative and, dare I say, gourmet s'more combinations! Go watch our video on his channel making the homemade marshmallows we use for the s'mores too!

Graham cracker recipe:

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt (I used Diamond Crystal)
1 cup light brown sugar
7 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons milk (I actually used oat milk, which worked fine)
1/3 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla extract

- mix together dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt)
- cream together butter and sugar (I used a hand mixer but a stand mixer would work too)
- add dry ingredients and mix to combine
- add milk, honey, and vanilla, and mix until you have a consistent dough that comes together (may be very sticky)
- bring dough together into a disc, wrap in cling wrap, and refrigerate at least one hour
- preheat over to 350 F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper
- roll out dough and cut into desired shapes OR scoop in balls onto the lined sheet tray (I tried both and preferred the round, more cookie like option)
- bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
- let cool and enjoy!

Lemon shortbread recipe:

2/3 cup (4 oz) white granulated sugar
2 tsp lemon zest (roughly 1 whole lemon)
2 sticks (8 oz) good butter (I used Kerrygold)
1 egg yolk
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/8 cups (12 oz) AP flour
1 tsp kosher salt

- rub lemon zest into sugar with your finger tips
- cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (again, I used a hand mixer)
- add egg yolk, juice, and vanilla and beat to combine
- add flour and salt and beat until it forms a dough (if it's too crumbly, keep beating, it'll come together)
- roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface (if the butter becomes too soft to work with, refrigerate for half an hour before rolling out)
- cut into desired shapes (for s'mores, I rolled out into a rectangle and cut into squares) and refrigerate again *at least an hour* (I tried to do less and they got wonky and were harder to move around)
- bake at 300 F for 18-23 minutes (I did 2 batches and the first took 22-23 minutes while the second, which had been in the fridge an extra day, almost burnt at 20 – just know your oven and keep vigilant watch! Check the bottoms for doneness because the top will stay pale)
- let cool and enjoy!

It's always fun to hang out and cook with you!!!!

Emily and Frank go together like roasted marshmallows and melted chocolate.

Chef Frank went so deep into his meme, he wanted to eat S'more, so he made his own Marshmellows and even had Emily make her own
and now he even wants to make his own strawberries lol

If this is not the most comforting heartwarming video of all time, I don't know what is. This will now be my go-to when I'm feeling down.

Nice to see another one so soon, and with Chef Frank.

[Agentsquirtle]

I’d really like the recipes for those Graham crackers and the lemon cookies. Really great episode. I’ll have to check out more of your channel.

[ginger_nosoul]

[lisah]

I love learning easy ways to up level an old favorite.

[crystalrickett]

It comforts me that a professional chef makes flavoring mistakes too 😂

[pretendtobenormal]

Emily and Frank had so much fun in this video 😀I love it!

[jacobkeyser]

I first tried A peanut butter cup s'more when I was 15. 10 years later it is still my favorite and I always bring a big bag on campouts.

[SamGiles]

Such a wonderful episode! Being an Australian, I actually find s'mores ridiculously fascinating. Keep up the fantastic work, Emily!

Up next on Epicurious, :Four Levels of S'Mores"!

[GeriatricMillennialGamerDude]

[LuMo]

[katinapactol-baez]

I'm freaking drooling... haven't even had breakfast yet.

[EternaltheGrey]

Delightful! The Strawberry Lemonade G&T was exceedingly clever, too. Though a missed opportunity to pull a Rose with those extendable toasting forks

[rcmaniac]

That was awesome. I know when I make S'mores at home (gas stove), I eat them over the sink to save the cleanup. I love the alternative smores.

[Boudleaux]

Totally want the graham cracker recipe!!
