Have you ever baked canned biscuits over a campfire w/out a dutch oven? How?

Question

Want to make biscuits and gravy. Can you put the canned biscuits on a cookie sheet or in muffin tins, cover w/ foil and bake over hot coals of campfire? going tomorrow, urgent! thanks.

Answer 1

I find it is just easier to fry them in a little oil in a skillet.........ya know fried biscuits.............very good and easy

Answer 2

Wrap them on a stick,  mount the stick above the LOW fire, nothing else required.

Rotate once in a while.

"cover w/ foil and bake over hot coals of campfire?"

No, They would probably get burned sitting in hot coals.

Answer 3

- Stick bread- wrap the dough around a thick stick and turn it slowly over a fire.

- Skillet bread- flatten the dough and lightly brown/toast it on one side, then either flip it or expose the top side to the heat.

- Foil Bread- loosely wrap them in lightly oiled foil and either put them on medium coals or hold them in a medium fire with tongs. Turn often. Serve by opening the foil packet and using it as a sort of plate.

- Box oven- Take a cardboard box, put it on its side, put foil inside the box. Make foil or sheet metal 'reflectors' that bounce the heat to a rack mounted in the middle like a shelf. You can find lots of cardboard box oven plans on-line.

- Jello mold oven- use a Jello mold with the hole/tunnel in the middle. Lightly wipe with oil, put dough in mold. Put a metal lid over the whole thing, then position it so a low stove flame goes up the chimney.

My favorite option:

- Prebake the biscuits, and just reheat them at camp! The gravy is the focus point anyway, and it actually tastes better on stale biscuits!
