Ingredients

Method

1. Mix everything together to get a coarse texture.
2. Keep in refrigerator until leaving for camping/backpacking trip.
3. Divide into 2–4 cup portions in baggies or other container for convenient use.
4. Mix 2 cups mix with ½ cup water, milk, or condensed milk to use.
5. Knead gently for no more than 5 times, or biscuits will be tough.
6. Roll out about ¾ inches or 2 centimeters thick.
7. Cut into biscuit-size circles.
8. Place in preheated Dutch oven, starting at the wall and working toward the center.
9. Replace lid, turning about ⅛ turn for a good fit.
10. If heat is right, biscuits will be done in about 15 minutes; if browned in 10 minutes or less, the centers may not be done.

Notes

• About 2 cups of mix will pretty well fill a 12 inch Dutch oven.
• Place a few more coals or charcoal briquettes on lid than beneath it.
• Preheat Dutch oven until lightly smoking; a moistened finger tapped lightly on the metal will sizzle.
