A Note from Habey
Habey’s CROWN JEWELS are based on a family recipe of Urcell, a dynamo baker and cook for whom I worked at my first kitchen job in NYC. The company was Donald Bruce White Caterers, with a roster of ritzy clients. Urcell was from Georgia. My favorite memory of her came a handful of years later when I was catering out of my West 75th Street apartment. Designer Alexander Julian had hired me to prepare a Southern luncheon celebrating his latest fashion line. I rented a big deep fryer and Urcell came in and whipped up her divine fried chicken, fit for a Queen!
The CROWN JEWELS dough is butter-based with generous portions of ground pecans and pure vanilla. Adding the thumbprint red raspberry preserve and the title were my contributions. CROWN JEWELS refer to priceless ornaments and jewelry worn by royalty – but also to particularly valuable or prized possessions or assets. Habey’s mascot Princess Charlotte rewards you with our version, to share with someone special on any occasion.
