Campfire Pastries

Last summer, my Sister-in-law's family showed us this tasty treat, we finally had the opportunity to try it on our black bear trip, this is surely a keeper! What you need:

• A can of flakey biscuits (I used Pillsbury eight count)
• Any filling you can think of (I used Betty Crocker, Rainbow Chip Frosting)
• A thick stick

There are biscuit roasting sticks out there that we found made specifically for this but, we think its more fun to make our own and, it saved us $11. We chose a stick that was about 1" in diameter and we whittled it to a gradually tapered yet blunt end. Once you have the perfect roasting stick, take one raw biscuit round and wrap it around the stick.  Pinch the edges of the dough together and massage out the big ripples.  Begin roasting your pastry in the fire. *Note: Its better if you are able to roast these in a mature fire with a decent coal base this allows them to bake more evenly. Once your biscuit is golden brown roll it off the end of the stick and fill it with your filling of choice!  This trip, I brought a can of Betty Crocker Rainbow Chip frosting.   Other filling possibilities could include: honey, peanut butter, jam, hot dogs with the fixin's or pizza ingredients.  This is by no means a healthy snack but it is relatively inexpensive, and can be made to suit your taste!  Each of us adults got into the art of  "the perfect roast".  Making somthing so simple that  adds to the camaraderie around the fire is a one up in our book!  These campfire pastries were enjoyable create with our group because not only it was new, it was delicious!  With so many filling possibilities you are sure to find something everyone can enjoy. I hope you try this with your family and friends, it won't disappoint!  Make sure you come back and let us know what filling flavors you liked!
