Did you know you can enjoy pancakes while you’re camping, even if you didn’t pack a pan? During a recent camping trip, I was determined to eat like a queen using just foil and skewers.
I love blueberry cornmeal pancakes, so I wanted to test my foil origami skills to see if I could create a vessel suitable for my favorite flapjacks.
Like the campfire paella recipe, I had everything pre-portioned before leaving home. No sense bringing an entire box of Bisquick on your journey. I did pack a Pyrex pitcher in the RV because you need to somehow combine the batter.
In hindsight, I could have just combined the entire batter at home and kept it refrigerated until I was ready to make breakfast. But I wanted the added enjoyment of creating a recipe under the canopy of pine trees on a cool fall morning.
Along with pancakes, I made a maple blueberry syrup. It’s super easy. You can use strawberries, apples or peaches instead, if you like them better. You just need some campfire heat to break down the fruit.
For protein, we skewered up some sausage links.
While the final product wasn’t gorgeous (no tall, fluffy stacks of pancakes), the result tasted just the same. The pancakes were light and fluffy and a beautiful dish to enjoy before a day hike.
After hiking in Zion National Park, we enjoyed a Fig and Brie 7-Layer Dip.
