Hey Gal, got a recepie for some good buttermilk buscuits if you would like. Did they have baking powder way back then? 
two cups of flour
3 heaping teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
grease pan with oil or shortnin' and let excess run off into pan with mixture- about 2 tablespoons
then either add 1 1/2 buttermilk or substitute just 1 cup of regualar milk
mix all indigredients together then pread out on floured surface and work slightly. Roll over onto itself about a dozen times making sure to get a light floured surface between each roll over. Kind of want to make layers. Then pat out into about 1" high and cut out into about 8 or 9 buscuits. Bake for about 12-15 minutes depending on the oven untill golden brown on top and bottom. I haven't tried it in a dutch oven yet but oh boy, just wait till I do!
This is my own recepie, hope you like it as much as we do. They go with anything!

ps If you have some pure maple syrup on hand to go with them please call me to join you.

Thanks Cookie, for the offer. It's coming along pretty good, am in the process of downloading all the ideas onto a disc so I can bring it up offline and edit. So far, got a lot of great ideas for main dishes and a couple of sides. If anyone's got some input for desserts, sides and/or drinks to make, blend, etc. let me know. I would like to make this an actual cookbook and possibly print out a few copies and pass them along to anyone interesed!
So!! Heads up Folks! Any ideas for desserts, side dishes, drinks and such would be appreciated as well! :redthumb:

Thanks for the biscuit recipe, Toney. I'll be sure to give ya a holler if I got any maple sweetness to go along with them! More than likely, I'd have good old clover honey, will that do?

RHW,
If this is a camp kinda cook book maybe some of the guys that posted "beverages" in the lets have a drink thread wouldnt mind if you used a recipe or two. For desserts, you cant go wrong with a crisp made with berries picked while on the woods walk:> Or Pie
cooked up in the dutch oven...eace:

eace:Okay, I don't normally share this with just anybody, but...
Troop 57 Black Forest Cobbler
Get a can or two of cherry pie filling and put in the bottom of a 12" dutch oven(we usually cheat and line the oven with aluminum foil). Get yourself a basic chocolate cake mix. First thing you do is cut out the directions on the box and throw 'em in the fire. Then you dump the mix on top of the cherries (for official Troop 57 cobbler, get the dark chocolate mix that come with the packet of special dark syrup and drizzle that over the mix). Then add about 6-8 oz of coca-cola. Cover the oven and set on about 9 briquettes worth of coals, with about 15 on the lid. Should be done in 20-25 minutes.

Just remembered another "Boy Scout" dessert. I haven't done this one myself, so some of the details are fuzzy. I was at an outdoor leadership training session where we cut open oranges and scooped out the meat so they looked like miniature pumpkins. Then we filled them up with chocolate cake mix and baked in the fire. I don't remember cooking time or whether we placed the "lids" back on and wrapped them in foil or just exactly how it worked, but if somebody wants to experiment they are a kinda unique treat.
:hmm: Hmmm, I wonder about settin a bunch of em in a dutch oven...:hmm:

As long as we're on about Scout cooking... A couple of antique Troop 615 recipes.
Start wih one large onion and 1/2lb ground meat per person. Halve the onion around the equator, remove all but the outer 3 or 4 layers. Chop the rest and add to ground meat (beef works, but venison was better) with salt & pepper. Fill the onion halfs remaining, place in DO or wrap in foil and bake until the meat is done.
Same thing with the onions, but use medium size and then hollow out, fill with biscuit dough and bake. You can use the instant type tube (freezer) dough, sprinkle some granulated garlic on top for instans garlic bread.
Best dessert ever... 2 medium cans of sliced peaches in juice, 1/2 bag of chocolate chips, double chocolate brownie mix add water-only type, Dump the brownie mix into a dutch oven, add the chips, dump in the peaches with juice. Stir unti leverything is wet and bake for 30-45 minutes. Variations- add candied fruits or re-soaked dried fruits, use butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips.

I love these ideas you fellers are throwin out here.. I really enjoy cooking and especially being able to use my ole dutch ovens..but I also like things that are pretty quick and easy like some of these...because as much as I enjoy the campfire cooking, I dont want to spend all day, stuck in camp, doing it :haha: I gotta be able to go out and shoot too ya know :: :winking:
