How to make quick and easy campfire drop biscuits, using a Dutch oven or pie iron, on the grill or over a campfire. Simple Bisquick recipe for deliciously fluffy biscuits.

Drop biscuits are one of my favorite camping recipes because they complement a dinner of beef stew or a breakfast of eggs and bacon really well. They're an easy camping food you can make ahead or cook over the campfire.

Ingredients

For 12 Serving(s)

Ingredients

3 cups Bisquick biscuit mix (check our blog for make your own and gluten free mix)
1 cup milk

Campfire Drop Biscuits Directions

  1. Mix the biscuit mix* together with the milk in a mixing bowl.
  2. You can knead the biscuit dough in the bowl just a bit; then drop each biscuit into place on a well greased tin foil pie plate.
  3. If you're mixing the biscuits ahead of time and waiting until later to cook them, you can cover them with plastic wrap, and then place the whole pie plate down in a plastic gallon bag, seal it, and place it in your cooler.
  4. Dutch Oven Recipe Instructions: When you're ready to bake the biscuits, you can make a sling with aluminum foil.- Place your uncovered foil pie plate down into the Dutch oven using your sling.**
  5. If you’re using a grill, place the Dutch oven on the grill above the coals.- If you're baking them over a campfire, I suggest using a tripod, so that your Dutch oven can sit up off the fire, and the bottoms of your biscuits won’t burn.
  6. Let the biscuits cook over the campfire or on the grill for probably 15 to 20 minutes. Just check them frequently to make sure they don’t burn.
  7. Pie Iron Recipe Instructions: For a pie iron recipe, spray the inside of your pie iron with cooking spray.
  8. Place 2 or more drop biscuits inside, close it up, and hold it over the grill or fire.- Cook the biscuits for around 15 to 20 minutes. Just check them frequently to make sure they don’t burn.

Notes

 KITCHEN AND CAMPING TOOLS YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE EASY DROP BISCUITS:

  • Mixing Bowl – You’ll need a bowl to mix up your biscuits.
  • Foil Pie Plate – This makes it easy to store your biscuits in the cooler until you’re ready to cook them.
  • Dutch Oven – If you want to make a whole pan of drop biscuits, you can cook them in a Dutch oven, either over the campfire on a tripod, or on the grill.
  • Pie Iron – If everyone would rather cook their own biscuits, this is the perfect way. It’s so fun!

*You can use any kind of biscuit mix you want, whether it's Bisquick, Pioneer, or another brand of biscuit mix.

**We like to put a few jar rings in the bottom of our Dutch oven, so our pie plate isn’t sitting directly on the bottom of the Dutch oven.

If you can't use a campfire or grill, because there have been many times we were in that exact situation, you can cook them in a Dutch oven on your camp stove.

Either way you bake your quick and easy drop biscuits, when they’re done, you're ready to serve them with your meal. You might even enjoy a spoonful of apple butter, apple jelly, blackberry jam, or strawberry jam with your yummy drop biscuits.
