Skillet Biscuits

You don't need an oven to make great biscuits.  You just need a campstove, a cast iron skillet and some patience.

Ingredients:

Procedure:

Over low heat, add the butter and oil to a heavy cast-iron skillet.  

Combine the baking mix and the milk.  

When the butter has melted and starts to bubble, spoon the batter into the skillet to make 4 generously-sized biscuits (or 5 or 6 smaller ones).  Cover the skillet with a lid (or a piece of aluminum foil) and cook for about 10 minutes.  Keep a close watch on them, so they don't burn.  Flip the biscuits and cook for another 5 minutes or until they are cooked through.  You can insert a toothpick to check for doneness.  If the toothpick comes out clean, they are done.

Serve with honey or butter or smother them with some sausage gravy for breakfast.
