How to Make Biscuits While Camping
Making biscuits while camping can be a great way to start the day with a delicious and filling breakfast. Biscuits are easy to make, even when you’re in the middle of the woods, and they’ll help give you the energy to explore your surroundings.
Here we’ll cover how to cook biscuits while camping so you can enjoy a hot breakfast before heading out on your next outdoor adventure.
1. Gather Your Supplies
Before you can make biscuits while camping, there are a few supplies that you will need. You’ll need some biscuit mix, an oven or campfire (depending on what type of cooking surface you have available), and some oil or butter for greasing.
If your campfire doesn’t have enough heat for baking, you may want to invest in a Dutch oven or other cooking device designed specifically for baking over an open flame.
2. Make the Batter
Once you have gathered all of your supplies, it’s time to make your biscuit batter. Start by combining the biscuit mix with any liquids called for in the recipe and stirring until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to over-mix; this will result in tough biscuits.
Once everything is mixed together, use your hands to form dough into small circles about half an inch thick. Place each circle on an ungreased baking sheet or pan and set aside while you prepare the oven or campfire.
3. Cooking Your Biscuits
Whether using an oven or campfire, preheat it before cooking your biscuits so that they get nice and fluffy instead of dense and cakey.
If using an oven, preheat it to 375F (190C). If using a campfire, preheat it until flames die down and coals form red-hot embers – this will take around 15 minutes depending on wood type and weather conditions.
Once heated up properly, grease with butter or oil if desired and place each biscuit on top of the griddle or directly onto coals if using a campfire grill grate.
Cover loosely with foil (oven only) and bake for around 10 minutes – until golden brown – flipping once halfway through cooking time if desired. Serve warm with jam or honey!
Conclusion
Making biscuits while camping is actually quite easy! All it takes is some simple ingredients, access to a heated cooking surface like an oven or campfire, plus 10 minutes of baking time – voila!
You now have delicious homemade biscuits ready for eating at any time during your outdoor adventure that everyone in your group will love!
Enjoy them fresh from the fire as part of a complete breakfast meal or save them for snacking later in the day – either way, they’re sure to be delicious! Happy camping!
