Ingredients You’ll Need
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
For the gravy:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions for the Perfect Campfire Biscuits and Gravy
- Start with the Biscuits
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter, and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms a crumbly texture. Slowly pour in the milk, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix! - Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour your hands and the surface where you’ll shape the dough. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a cup or cookie cutter to cut out round biscuits. You can make them any size you like, but small is often better for campfire cooking. - Cook the Biscuits
Place the biscuits in a cast-iron skillet or on a campfire-safe baking sheet. You can cook them over the campfire, using a grill grate or a camping stove. Cover them with a lid or foil to trap the heat and create that perfect fluffy texture. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. - Make the Gravy
While the biscuits are baking, heat a skillet over the fire and cook the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces. Once the sausage is browned and crispy, sprinkle the flour over the meat and stir it in to make a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly, and let the gravy thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Serve and Enjoy!
Once your biscuits are done, slice them in half and pour the savory sausage gravy over the top. Grab a hot cup of coffee, and dig into your perfect campfire breakfast. Whether you’re gathering around the campfire or sitting outside your RV, this dish will have you energized and ready to tackle the day.
