Nothing compares to the experience of sitting around the campfire, enjoying nature, and eating freshly cooked Dutch oven biscuits. But if you don`t have previous experience preparing meals over a campfire, it can seem a bit intimidating. Fortunately, making Dutch oven biscuits is actually fairly easy. All it takes is a bit of attention and careful planning, and you can enjoy some delicious camping biscuits without much effort.
The first step in making Dutch oven biscuits is to gather all of your ingredients and supplies. You will need a basic biscuit mix, which can be found in most grocery stores. You will also need a Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet, some butter or oil, a long-handled spoon, and a pair of oven mitts or heat-proof gloves. Additionally, you will need enough charcoal to create a hot fire.
When it comes to Dutch oven biscuits, it is important to use hot coals so that the biscuits cook evenly. Start by arranging the charcoal in a circle around the edge of the Dutch oven or skillet. Then, light the edge of the charcoal and watch until the flame dies down and the coals are glowing red. This should create a nice, even fire that will allow your biscuits to bake evenly.
Now it`s time to get to the fun part — mixing the biscuit dough. Follow the instructions on the biscuit mix packaging and mix the ingredients together until thick and sticky. Take the dough and form it into four to six equal-sized balls. Then, place two to three of these balls inside the Dutch oven or skillet and place it directly above the hot coals. Cover the Dutch oven or skillet with its lid. It is important to make sure that the lid of the Dutch oven is properly placed on top so that it fits snugly and keeps the heat in.
Bake the biscuits for around 25 minutes, using a long-handled spoon to occasionally move the coals underneath the Dutch oven or skillet so that the biscuits cook evenly. When the biscuits are golden brown, they are ready to be removed and served. Be sure to use oven mitts or heat-proof gloves to handle the Dutch oven or skillet.
Your camping biscuits are now ready to be enjoyed. Serve them fresh with butter, honey, or jam, or save them for later and enjoy them as a tasty snack while exploring the great outdoors. With a bit of practice, you`ll be making Dutch oven biscuits like a pro!
