Part 3

_Everybody’s cooking outdoors, and these ideas will work perfectly, whether you’re camping out or cooking in the backyard._ _Betty Crocker_

_An age-old way to make hot biscuits._

Pour several cups of Bisquick into plastic bag. Roll down sides to make cuff. Take end of long, peeled stick (thickness of little finger) and push away Bisquick in center to make a well. Pour in about 1 tbsp. milk or water. Stir gently with stick until liquid picks up enough Bisquick to form soft ball around end of stick (about 1″ across). Secure ball on stick by pressing gently with hand. Hold stick over coals, turning slowly to bake ball through and brown evenly (_about 7 min._). Eat piping hot with butter, jam, or jelly.

STICK TWISTS

Make ball of dough as above. Dust hands generously with Bisquick. Slip ball from stick. Roll between palms into a 4 or 5″ strip. Wind strip spirally around end of stick, pinching tightly at ends to secure. Bake as above (_about 5 min._). Slip off stick. Fill center with strip of cheese or cooked meat or spoon in jelly, jam, or honey. Eat piping hot.

CHEESE TOPPERS

Follow directions for Stick Biscuits—_except_ secure a ¾″ cube of cheese on end of stick. Finish as directed. Also good with canned meat.

_Big-size version Pancakes (p. 2). Fit them into out-door appetites with exciting flavors._

1. Follow suggestions for Apple or Corn Meal Pancakes (p. 21) or Blueberry Pancakes (p. 20).

2. Layer a stack of Flapjacks with jelly or jam, cut into quarters to serve 4.

3. Add 1 cup drained whole kernel or fresh corn to batter.

HUSH PUPPIES

_An old-time favorite in the Deep South now brought up to date._

Mix 1 cup corn meal, 1 cup Bisquick, 1 tsp. salt, 1 egg, and 1 cup milk. Drop with spoon into hot fat, fry until golden brown on both sides, turning only once. Serve hot. _Makes 15 to 20._

DOG-IN-A-BISCUIT

Form Stick Twists as directed at left. Wind strip of dough around roasted frankfurter or fried pork sausage, stretching to cover completely. Finish same as for Stick Twists.

_Neat Trick:_ For the crispiest coating you ever tasted, roll fresh fish, sea food, chicken, or meat generously in Bisquick. Fry in a small amount of fat until golden brown on both sides. Turn only once.

BAKED IN THE OVEN

_Carry these good things from the kitchen into your own back yard or try them at camp. (Never go on a camping trip without your box of Bisquick!)_ _Betty Crocker_

Mix thoroughly 2 cups Bisquick, ½ cup milk or water, ¼ cup melted shortening or drippings. If batter is too soft, add Bisquick. Divide into 8 pieces. Pat out to make 5” square. Place slice of cooked or canned meat on half of square. Spread with chili sauce or pickle relish. Fold dough over meat and seal edges with fork. Slit top. Bake _15 to 20 min._ in hot oven.

_Neat Trick:_ Put 1 piece of dough at a time in plastic bag dusted generously with Bisquick. Pat between hands to make a 5” square. To remove, gradually turn bag inside out, loosening dough from sides with dull knife.

Make Muffin batter (p. 2)—_except_ add ¾ cup corn meal and use only 1¼ cups Bisquick. Turn batter into sizzling hot pan. Bake _about 15 min._ in hot oven until brown and crusty.

BLUEBERRY TRAIL BISCUITS

Make Drop Biscuits (p. 17)—_except_ add 1 cup blueberries and 2 tbsp. sugar to dough.

CAMPFIRE STEW WITH DUMPLINGS

Use canned or homemade stew. Make Dumplings (p. 2).

SWEET CINNAMON ROLLS

Make Biscuit dough (p. 3). Drop small spoonfuls into mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Roll to coat surface. Bake _8 to 10 min._ in hot oven. _Makes 24._

FRUIT DUMPLINGS

Heat no. 2 can canned berries or fruit (2½ cups) to boiling. Sweeten fruit, if necessary. Then make half recipe for Dumplings (p. 2) and cook on fruit.
