How to Cook Canned Biscuits on a Camp Stove

Cook canned biscuits on a camping stove for a delicious treat.

The scents of food cooking outdoors often seems more tantalizing and delectable, especially when you prepare food while camping. If you camp with a camping stove, you have an effective cooking tool that will enable you to prepare many different recipes and dishes. With the right utensils, you can cook canned biscuits on a camping stove as a delicious accompaniment to breakfast, lunch or dinner. The biscuits will brown attractively in oil into a light and crispy side dish.

Things You'll Need

• Camping stove
• Match
• Frying pan
• Cooking oil
• Spatula
• Paper towels
• Serving plate

Instructions

1. Set up the camping stove in a secure area away from overhead canopies or tarps. Place the camping stove on a picnic table or sturdy table where the wind will not interfere with the flame of your burner.

2. Turn on the gas and light the largest burner with a match. Turn the heat down to a medium flame.

3. Pour approximately 1/2-inch of cooking oil into the frying pan and place the frying pan onto the burner to heat it.

4. Open the biscuit container by peeling back the paper and twisting it to pop it open. Remove the biscuits one by one and place them into the hot oil to fry them. Continue adding as many biscuit as you can fit into the frying pan.

5. Monitor the frying process, turning down the heat slightly if the oil begins to splatter. When you see the biscuits begin to brown slightly around the outer edges, flip them over with the spatula.

6. Cook the biscuits on the other side until they appear a uniform golden brown on the entire outside of the biscuits. This indicates the biscuit dough is set in the center. Extinguish the camp stove flame.

7. Line the serving plate with paper towel to absorb excess oil. Remove each biscuit from the frying pan and place them onto the paper towel-lined plate. Allow the biscuits to sit for two to three minutes on the paper towel and then serve them.

Tips & Warnings

• Covering the frying pan is not necessary. Cook the biscuits in an uncovered pan for crispier biscuits.
