Camping Cooking Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing your campfire or camp stove, placing a griddle or flat cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter or oil.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Grease the griddle or pan with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Ladle the pancake batter onto the hot surface, making pancakes of your desired size.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown.

Prepare to Take Camping:

Store the dry pancake mix in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container, and pack the wet ingredients in a spill-proof container. For an even more convenient option, you can pre-mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients in a single container, ensuring you have an easy-to-use pancake batter at the campsite.
