Our week in Winston-Salem started off with an abundance of rain and an ongoing but unrealized threat of storms. Monday was miserable; Tuesday was drier than expected. Whereas grilling had seemed off the options list, the beneficial shift in the weather pattern opened a door of possibility. Juicy burgers on the grill: how much of summer's glorious joys do you shine upon me!
Oh, but I upped the game something fierce by also whipping up a homemade batch of brioche burger buns for the first time. That was a process that began the evening before, and that required an overnight cold rise, and then they baked up gorgeous and golden Tuesday afternoon.
Adapted from "Grilled Juicy Burgers," originally from Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks recipe magazine, July 2003, p. 52-53. After Pillsbury was purchased in 2001 by General Mills, home of Betty Crocker (founded in 1921, mind you!), it basically ceased to exist as a company and lives on just as a brand. I guess that's why a Pillsbury cookbook recipe from 2003 is now only found on the Betty Crocker website.
