Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I baked these in the oven, but you can certainly (and we do when camping) Make these in the Dutch oven.

Preheat oven to 450°f. In the dutch oven I usually set it up for 350, and cook longer.

3 cups flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4" teaspoons salt
2 cups butter milk or heavy cream (when camping I use dried buttermilk and water. I think 1/3 cup of dried milk goes into 2 cups water.) Warm to 90°-95°
2 tablespoons melted butter

Mix all of your dry ingredients together (when camping I will mix everything into a 2 gallon ziplock at home and take to camp. If using dried milk then all you need to do is add the melted butter and warm water to the bag and mix).

Add warmed milk (or water if you used dried milk) and melted butter.

Mix until shaggy.

Spray Pam into dutch oven or cast iron pan

Divide into 8 equal biscuits. I use a 1/2 cup measuring cup (spray it with pam it will help keep the dough from sticking. spray after every two scoops.)

Drop into skillet or dutch oven Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and browned on top.

If you like you can add dry spices to the dry ingredients to change up the flavor.

Dust swabby, Howdy;

Looks like ya made extras. Counted 12 or a Baker's Doz. ???

Great looking Breakfast, 1 of my favorites.

Mmmmmm, looks tasty!

dirtsailor, those drop biscuits sure look good and IIRC are quick to build

yes... cowboys have been eating dutch oven biscuits for a long time

we cook several ovens full when feeding the bunch



we use liners(HD commercial cake pans) so we can keep cooking in the same ovens(they're already pre-heated) w/o having to clean in between batches



takes a lot of fire/coals butt darn sure worth the price of admission ;-)

BTW, we cook a large(20") skillet full of gravy too



the grandson took 1st place with that batch of gravy

I do like this Dutch Oven and it's versatility on so many things. I may just have to buy one and give it a go.

Now, I'm old and old school.. Been baking over an open fire for a while. Mainly cast iron fry pan and tin foil covering, yet have done 'prepared' meals in a tin pan with foil over and worked just as well.

Seems to me it's more of knowing your fire/coals vs. what you bake in. One takes so much and another the it's.. Burn/fire side, baking side of pit. How much is needed for what you're cooking with.

The 'Dutch' I'm interested in is basically a fry pan that becomes a cover for the pot. That makes sense to me. Doesn't seem like much of a learning curve from cast iron skillet cooking to baking.. Heat control.

Ya, need to get back out and try some biscuits! Gravy is on you folks.. I like buta (butter you you all).

Yep we cook in our Dutch ovens a lot. Can’t remember er the last time I used a non-cast iron skillet.

I also use liners or parchment paper depending on what I’m cooking. Especially when camping, I hate cleaning

Yep that combo cooker is a good set up unless you like to hang a pot from a tripod.

You nailed it, cookings all about controlling the heat source.

I’m into all kinds of cooking apparatus and temp control is key. You can. Have the best recipe in the world and still end up with a crappy meal if you can’t control the heat!

That’s a great achievement on that gravy. He doesn’t know it now but the thing he’ll remember most about that cook was cooking with grandpa.

Parchment for baking and foil for messy things like cheese casseroles and such. However, for most cooking I am with slow, just a little elbow grease for clean up. I do fill with water and let it boil a bit after being emptied to loosen up the goo before cleaning.

If you are a Goodwill shopper a colander can be a good thing to have when preparing greasy meals like roast and meatloaves . If it has legs it will allow the meat to drain as it cooks if it is legless three balls of aluminum foil wadded under it will elevate it just enough.

I prefer Cee Dubs cast iron biscuit recipe. I am not a buttermilk fan so I use a powder version, Saco Pantry available at Walmart and other stores.

We love to do the Three ingredient biscuits, and the veggie skillet biscuits. The 3 ingredient ones remind me a lot of an English muffin ( which I really like). Now I am able to enjoy a biscuit w/o gravy or jam on it, but I still like to put honey butter on. Yum Joanie

DUTCH OVEN / SKILLET IS MY VOTE !

Yep I have a great ol rat tail spyder skillet and my 10" dutch oven camp lid just fits on. It get the heat above and below and the top heat is close enough to brown the tops real pretty.
