Stone Ground Cornmeal Scones

A subtle cornmeal flavor and a delightful crunch make these scones a perfect accompaniment for breakfast or dinner while camping or at home!

Oooo… a light cornmeal flavor with a delightful cornmeal “crunch” in every bite! These scones are perfect for breakfast, dinner, or snack!

Scones are traditionally baked in the oven but if you’re tent/car camping or have a small RV without an oven like I do, just cook them in the skillet! You’ll need a skillet with a lid, and you’ll want to peek at them frequently to watch how brown they’re getting but you’ll love serving these crunchy little guys on your next adventure! They’re quick and easy - and you can prepare the dry ingredients at home! Just pack up the mix in a zipper bag, label it with a note about how much milk to add, and you’ll be all set!

Give these scones a try and let us know how you liked them!

Stovetop Biscuits

Stovetop Biscuits. Quick and delicious, you can whip up a batch of these hot, tender packets of deliciousness in no time - no oven needed!

Quick and delicious, you can whip up a batch of these hot, tender packets of deliciousness in no time - no oven needed! Serve them with breakfast or pair them with a great soup or stew - you just can’t go wrong with this quick bread! (Oh, and don’t tell anyone, but you can add all kinds of flavors to complement what you are serving them with!)

At home, I make a big batch of these favorites in my 12” cast iron skillet, baking them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. While camping in the Casita, I make a half batch (recipe below) for just the two of us in my 10” skillet on the stovetop. I have made them in my small Dutch oven, using coals on top and bottom and, as satisfying as I find this method, it is much too time-consuming. I find the stovetop method to be so quick and straightforward that I’ll whip up a batch even at home sometimes!

When I make a regular batch of biscuits at home, I almost always pat the dough out and use a biscuit cutter to cut the dough. A straight down cut without twisting will ensure a perfectly risen biscuit. But when camping, I prefer not to spread flour around and make a mess, so I just shape them by hand. They may not rise quite the same, but they definitely taste the same!

Be sure to add Stovetop Biscuits to your camping food meal plan!

And….let us know how you liked them!
