A Newbie Says Hello from Los Angeles

[Wadinger]

Wadingers: Awesome. They're a dessert that you can make over the campfire. not too sweet, not too boring, and gives way to lots of laughs. You need:

~slim wood dowel about 2" in width with a rounded tip, long enough to extend the rounded tip over a campfire without burning yourself.

~Grands biscuits in a tube (not the super flaky kind).

~Filling can be any pudding, ice cream, jam, whipped cream, custard, etc.

You take a biscuit and slowly smooth it over the dowel tip like a sock (imagine the all-embarrassing sex ed class from high school). Try to avoid stretching it out too much, so you avoid any holes or thin spots in the stretched biscuit. Use a little Pam or cooking oil on the tip prior to application so the biscuit doesn't stick when you remove it after cooking.

You hold the biscuit-covered dowel over the fire and rotate until the biscuit browns to a nice golden color (be careful, the round tip will brown faster than the rest, so rotate evenly and check often).

Cool for a minute or two, remove your nice little "bowl" of a biscuit from the dowel, and fill with anything you want (we love banana cream pie flavored Jello pudding with whipped cream on top), and nosh away!

I found this link with a picture. I have no idea who these people are, but you'll get an idea.

I've always known them as "Pie Holes"

Check out www.eatmypiehole.com for some pre-made Pie Hole makers.

Yes, you can make your own, but these ones are NICE. Dense fruit and nut wood mandrels, stainless steel handles, rubber grips.

What's in YOUR pie hole?

I would like to make a few wadinger sticks. Is there any tips for the wood dowels needed? Does it matter if the 2" dowels and sticks are either hardwood, or softer wood? Does it matter which material you use to prevent charring, or provide a longer lasting stick?

Thanks.

Let me ask my uncle, who has been making them for us. I know basically how they are made (and I sure know how to use 'em!), but I don't have specifics for you yet....good questions!

And yes, can always be bought!

What's cool about a wadinger is that you can make them for desserts or breakfast...just depends on what you "stuff" them with....Kinda like a waffle dog...your imagination is the limiting factor. Doug

Last camping trip, we had a 5 lb. slab of sliced bacon and lots of leftover biscuits. We sure ate our fill of bacon!

Doug, my aunt and uncle are Maria and Sam with their Cozy Cruiser - not sure if first names will suffice to identify, but they say hi. They told me you are THE TD artist to check out.
