Cookin' with Coalcracker: Fresh Biscuits

Fresh made biscuits from scratch while at camp. Life doesn't get much better than this!

[@PaulMorini]

I'm digging the coalcracker cook thing. I think it teaches/demonstrates 18th century daily living that's still relevant in bushcraft camping.

[@robynbazlen-weglarz7836]

As a B&B owner and Lon time baker, try mixing all your dry ingredients including powdered milk at home and just add the butter and water at the camp site. It takes the guess work out of the equation.

[@jeffvaughn7987]

Biscuits..I mean it's biscuits in the snow! Love it

[@smacpost3]

Those biscuits made my mouth water. I can smell them, taste them even. Delicious, especially on a cold day after walking through the bush for hours. With a hot cup of soup maybe, so yumm.

[@thatbearlife]

I love all the "guestimating". That's my kind of cookin'!

[@denniswilkins4514]

Man the stuff you do just melts my butter. We are so much alike. I watch every video that comes on and say would you look at this!! Your videos make me think a little deeper. Be prepared brother it's coming and I'm ready.

[@funsekr9430]

Holy cow! You made me hungry, going to make some feel good/taste good biscuits. Thanks for the video.

[@LGSkywalker82]

Nice!!!! I asked you months ago to do camp cooking vids, you said you had some planned, and these have not disappointed!! Thanks Dan

[@paulab2748]

Yum! Ty for sharing these cooking videos

[@o1420]

Looks delicious 🤤 gonna definitely do these✌️👍

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

You keep coming up with great stuff Sir!!! Thanks much for sharing and the hard work involved. Blessings 😇

[@robnance1683]

Those drop biscuits look good! Just add some gravy and a couple of eggs on top. I am baking biscuits and making sausage gravy on the fire pit tomorrow. Another good informative video with valuable outdoors cooking skills.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Great looking biscuits Dan. Now if you just had my homemade apple butter :)

[@lisawagner421]

Those look fantastic!!

[@jbcardin]

Great video! Thanks! Be careful setting a hot dutch oven in the snow. They will crack.

[@FalconWing1813]

Found your channel a month ago and really learning alot. Will try this on a camping trip

[@wvbonbonqueen]

Really a GREAT video. I always enjoy watching you cook over a fire, and this makes me want to make this recipe! I am copying them and keeping them in our backpacks, to have to make when we are out and about. Thank You for your recipes and how well you show how to do your recipes and the ins and outs of them. Can't get any better than Home Made Biscuits!!!!!

[@alanj7306]

Really enjoying the cooking videos. Found your channel a couple days ago and have been binge watching. You have some awesome recipes. They’re simple and everything looks delicious 😋. Thank you for sharing and God bless!

[@ronschreiber3635]

Nice I can smell them all the way to Jersey Dan Great video .

[@hughhubble]

I recently tried this recipe on a family camping trip. It was a hit. I've done it twice so far, and they came out great both times.

[@Benjrozen]

Awesome guide, they look delicious :)

[@outdooraddictionpa8218]

Great information as always!! Keep these amazing bushcraft videos coming.

[@annpeet4334]

Wow... You use the same recipe for biscuits that I do! When camping, though, I make them dryer and wrap them around a stick (or hot dog on a stick) and roast them over the fire.

[@riverrockproductions]

I made these last night for supper and they were great! Thanks for the recipe.

[@riccartwright5623]

always good to see you out and I'm going to try dry milk never used it before.... thanks

[@wvbonbonqueen]

I always have Dry Milk and I do most of our cooking at home. I like to use it in our homemade bread. It makes the bread more moist and it helps to keep it fresher longer. Give it a try, but be sure to buy the Whole Milk, not the Nonfat milk as the Whole Milk tastes more like the gallon of milk you buy in a store. The nonfat milk has a bit of an after taste.

[@davidleasure9138]

great job. you are an awesome cook. love these cooking videos. Can even smell those biscuits over here. super color on the bottoms.

[@williampysell2819]

I have really become a big fan of yours since finding your videos! Youe cooking videos are awesome, and the food looks great!

[@jerrybrower231]

Awesome video I love your videos

[@michaelmaier7262]

Looks great!

[@mr.zardoz3344]

The simplest things in life are the best.

[@kevinsmith948]

If you don’t have Dutch oven (backpackers), use same mix or bisquick. Mix in zip lock bag and use a green stick (about 2 inch dia), remove bark and “roast” it over fire

[@mr.fisher3973]

Oh my yes - good old fashioned drop biscuits!!!!! Nothing better - sure hope your gonna make some type of gravy to use with them. Great video!!!!!

[@kidbach]

first bread. then stew. now biscuits. youre like bushcraft food meanie(shakin fist vigorously). lol. thanks for sharing.

[@mackgalliher7544]

Awesome video very informative thanks!

[@jamesmclean4033]

Ya brutha. Nothing better than hot biscuits at the fire. Luv it with a little maple syrup. 🇨🇦💪👍

[@michaeloneal7982]

Yet another great video. Great job on regulating the heat. Too much bottom heat will get you if you do not check and adjust.

[@EQ9962]

would be amazing with a cup of bush coffee

[@wvbonbonqueen]

@E Q, and some Honey for those biscuits too? lol

[@korbendallas9722]

Great vid, keep em coming.

[@HBC258]

They looked great.

[@lucyalderman422]

When I make biscuits using powdered milk I put the powdered milk with the dry ingredients works great

[@drozdood9]

Thanks a great looking biscuit man!!

[@Chriscovelli1]

Great biscuit recipe Dan! Sir Mix a lot would be proud

[@tedadams5448]

I'm interested in the bag you use to keep your flour in. Could you tell me what kind of bag and where I can get one.

[@epeiusgarage]

Looks so good! Need to do this on my lease

[@grimreaper6557]

great video thanks for the tip they look awesome love your camp cooking videos

[@markatkinson9963]

You can crack a dutch oven that way puttin' it in the snow like that. Those look awesome. Going to try this recipe.

[@jessetravella8284]

Love your channel Brother!!!

[@ScottWorthington]

Good lookin' biscuits. All they need is some sausage gravy.

[@captainplacard9666]

That was the next day's video....

[@bitahaghighi1917]

Love them 😍👍

[@couz10]

Just thanking you for all the great videos! Happy 2018!

[@Arturian.music.official]

Man I want some biscuits right now. lol

[@reberlin]

I like utilizing your lessons with my Scout Troop

[@davidleasure9138]

Awesome Dan

[@halfcrazyoldchristianredne895]

Thanks for the great vids

[@dudleyvilledude2081]

When I make bannock it uses buttermilk. I use the powder. The can says to mix the powder with dry ingredients and mix the water in by itself. Works great. Do you think that would work with powdered milk?

[@christiancapps9896]

Making them right now but in the kitchen, thanks. I'm using foil for a lid if that counts for anything.

[@herbsmith6871]

Good stuff my friend 🤠

[@WayPointSurvival]

Another great video from "Chef Coalcracker". BTW, where did you get your leather bag for your flour?

[@coalcracker]

Sweden. I will have bags very similar available for sale on my website in the next few weeks

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks. I will keep an eye out for them on your website.

[@josephkahlich3326]

Awesome!

[@24kanthony]

LOL when he starts trying to form them after they're already in the hot cast iron and they start falling apart

[@rcfokker1630]

You could pre-mix all your dry ingredients, so that you need only add water when you get to camp.

[@MsIpodqwerty]

unreal. cant wait to try.

[@Tsiri09]

Looks yummy

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Looks good will have to try

[@OutdoorCookingwithAl]

Great video brother. I’m going to try it for sure.

[@coalcracker]

Hope you guys had a great Christmas

[@shamilton2719]

Thanks!

[@lbluebird486]

Thanks for the recipe!! Will give it a try....HOWEVER, you may want to use a store brand of plastic measuring spoons and fill each one with something dry and/or liquid until you get used to seeing how much each one holds JUST FROM LOOKING AT THE PILE on the table or LOG. The reason I say this is...watching you, I could tell by looking at the amount you used, it was way too much baking powder, sugar and definitely too much salt. Remember, TEASPOON is so much smaller than TABLESPOON. Dump a teaspoon of sale or sugar in the palm of your hand and a Tablespoon of the same in the other palm of your hand so you can see the difference...it helps, for those who are VISUAL learners. I'm sure by now you have it MASTERED, as all the other tips you share. Thanks again!!! They baked great, gorgeous biscuits, maybe I was wrong.....lol.....Provide your address, will send you the best orchard made APPLE BUTTER you ever ate and especially good on biscuits......Look great!!!!

[@dmacrasur3183]

Darn they look good. Good detailed description Dan.. Can't wait to try it.

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

Very cool! Thanks for the information!!! I will have to try this recipe next time I'm out... in 2 months bahahaha

[@stephaniereiser2454]

How long over the fire total, would you say? Thanks

[@sospeciallyme9096]

where do you get your flour bags?

[@edfaringer8671]

You can cop biscuits for us any time, thanks Dan.

[@59chevt]

very nice.

[@daniellestanley901]

For how long was the pot hanging ?

[@tihzho]

Powdered milk is the same as skim milk. There is no milk fat (cream) in powdered milk. Therefore if you make these biscuits with fresh milk they will taste different , much better.

[@feralgrandad4429]

Dan, you looked like my 5 year old grandson when you took the first bite! Nice vid man, though you just cost me the price of a Dutch oven I just ordered ha ha :-)

[@norseman_5334]

Looooogeehdat! Starting to sound like scrambled O😂 great vid

[@KillingerUSA]

Now I want biscuits.......

[@joanclaytonjohnson3630]

Nice.just so you know this same recipe will make delicious dumplings in a coalcracker stew..

[@mrwes100]

Much easier, two cups self raising flour, two cups heavy cream. Boom!

[@lawrencetrujillo65]

What size camp oven are you using Dan? You looked like a T-Rex ripping into that biscuit! You obviously enjoy the old days-old ways. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, brother.

[@PlayaSinNombre]

After eating 6 biscuits, they say, Dan’s belt grew 3 sizes that day.

[@ranal7935]

those are some good-lookin biscuits

[@ranal7935]

perfect size for an over-easy egg.

[@techno_tuna]

"I always wanted to be a baker."

[@jasonkemp6301]

More cookin with Dan!

[@kenbultman8670]

Did you wash your hands first?😮

[@gordongman3423]

Oh you can keep all that white stuff on the ground. Glad to see someone that know how to cook on a fire.

[@OvermindBass]

Looks tasty, dude. =) Hey, have you ever tried making your biscuits with sourdough/sourdough starter? I personally like the taste of them better than with just ordinary milk. Might be worth a shot.

[@jackdaniel4205]

👍

[@davidmiller4734]

Damnit its 12 am and i want biscuits now

[@sospeciallyme9096]

Please more and more cooking recipes for in the field please. Your chann r l is my new favourite youtu e channel.

[@johnneel5187]

Why not add the milk powder with your dry ingredients.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

The next item to get is a Dutch oven like that!!

[@jimgam730]

Shoulda had some bacon and eggs with those biscuits. Now I'm hungry

[@danwilder7945]

I’m not burning the calories you do . You’d be making me fat if I cooked all this stuff. Got canned biscuits for New Years biscuits and sausage gravy, I think I’ll upgrade to homemade with my new Dutch oven. Nice move using your pack basket cover for a work surface on a stump. Is that a painting easel I see off to the right? 35 and no snow in Austin so I’m enjoying your scenery.

[@coalcracker]

No painting easel it’s actually a cook station we built at a class I n never use it as much as I should

[@GaryHarris48]

Wonderful Biscuits...would be really Great Biscuits without the sugar....BREAD WITHOUT SUGAR IS POSSIBLE....2 MUCH SUGAR IN EVERYTHING

[@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937]

You're adorable.

[@donaldcooper5891]

Nice biscuits. How about some buttermilk next time instead of the milk.

[@tepanganiban]

10 degrees I would’ve died 😂

[@rdpauley9824]

Damn I’m now hungry.
