Cast Iron Campfire Cheddar Biscuits
Fluffy, cheesy drop biscuits baked in a cast iron skillet right over the fire—an easy, satisfying snack for sharing at camp.
Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold butter cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Add cold butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in cheese and then milk until just combined (do not overmix).
- Drop spoonfuls of dough into a lightly greased cast iron skillet (makes about 8).
- Set over medium campfire coals and cover loosely with foil. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm, straight from the pan.
Notes
Cover the skillet with foil to trap heat. These biscuits are best fresh, but leftovers make great trail snacks the next day.
