Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler

Ignite 25-30 charcoal briquets in a firepan piled up and let burn until they are barely covered with ash (about 20 minutes).

In a ziploc bag #1 at home combine:
2 cups bisquick
2/3 cups sugar
zip-loc bag #2 combine:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
4 tbsp. cornstarch

In camp: Peel 1 peach per person (in season), or use canned peaches off-season. Mix contents of bag #2 with 2 cups water in a dutch oven. Bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar and thicken the syrup. Place peaches into the mixture and bring to a boil again.

Mix bag #1 with enough water to make a sticky dough. About 3/4 cup water. Squeeze dough onto hot peaches in dutch oven. Cover with the lid. Place dutch oven on 5-6 hot charcoal briquets and about 15 briquets on top of the lid. Don't peek, and bake 20 minutes. Blow ash off lid before carefully lifting the lid to check doneness. Enjoy!

Troop 49 Dump Cake

This is a great recipe for the dutch oven on cold winter campout. It is a favorite with the scouts.

1 Box of White Cake Mix
1 Can of Sprite or 7up
2 cans of canned fruit (apples, cherries, etc.)
Pour the cake mix into a bowl. Break up the mix so the are no lumps. Then add the can of Sprite. Mix until smooth. Don't mix too much as you want the fizz to stay in the mix. Open the canned fruit and pour it into the bottom of a foil lined Dutch Oven (better for clean-up). Pour the batter mix on top of the fruit mix. Put approximately 8 coals on the bottom for the Dutch oven and 12-15 on the top. Wait 45 min. Love is just a scoop away.

The Best Berry Cobbler

This is an easy recipe to make, and it is just a delicious finish to your meal.


5 Tbsp. butter (roughly 2/3 of a stick)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Topping:

1/3 Cup granola
1/3 Cup sugar


Use aluminum foil to cover the inside of a 12-inch Dutch Oven. Preheat the oven, and then melt the butter in it. To make the batter, mix the baking powder, flour, salt, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract very well. Pour the batter on top of the melted butter. Throw the blueberries on top of the batter. Bake at medium heat for 40 to 45 minutes. At about 30 minutes into the cooking sprinkle the granola and remaining sugar on top. The berry cobbler is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Note: Using different types of berries or a mix of berries can make this cobbler even better. Try using raspberries along with the blueberries.
