Fill the iron skillet about 1/3 full of cooking oil. Once you put the oil in it, you won’t want to be moving it around too much. It is known for its heat retention and it doesn’t get discolored (it’s already black) if the flames dance up and lick the sides.įor the sake of safety, make sure whatever you are putting your skillet on, is level and on solid footing. The iron skillet is heavy duty, meaning it has a thick bottom and sides. I always use my iron skillet with a thick hot pad in hand. It is sturdy, reliable and provides even heat, so I usually cook on that. That’s okay with me, that is one of the fun things about camping with common groups and acquaintances.įirst, you will need to decide if you are cooking over the fire pit or a camp stove. Word has spread though, so now we have lots of visitors over in the morning to chat while eyeing the iron skillet full of frying, golden brown donuts. I used to make small batches and was done in a snap. Our fellow campers gather around to pluck these from the cinnamon sugar, piping hot. When we make these Cinnamon Sugar Campfire Donuts, the camp fills up with the sweet smell of cinnamon donuts. Cinnamon Sugar Campfire Donuts are just 4 ingredients to a fresh, hot, donut you made yourself!! Get your things laid out, from the paper towels to drain the hot, fried donut, to the cinnamon sugar mixture ready to go. When you cook with hot oil, you always want to get yourself organized first. I typically use our Camp Chef stove because I can control the temperature of the oil easier, but both methods work.

These are donuts made in an iron skillet, either over the flames of a fire or on a camp stove. I have lots of recipes I like to make while we are out “roughing it,” but one of the sweetest is Cinnamon Sugar Campfire Donuts. Not much that is, until we go camping! There is something about the smell of sizzling bacon and sausage on the flat top griddle and coffee percolating away, to really make you feel the “ahhhhh” of the camping experience. Cinnamon Sugar Campfire Donuts are fun to make and taste great!!! My husband always requests the Hungry Man Breakfast, so that has to be on the menu, but my new favorite way to enjoy a sweet treat while camping, are these simple Cinnamon Sugar Campfire Donuts.

The one theme that is universal to our camping, no matter the vehicle, sleeping arrangements, location or weather, is that we eat really, really well when we camp!! One of our favorite meals is my Dutch Oven Lasagna followed by our go to dessert of Dutch Oven Peach Raspberry Cobbler. Sometimes that means we are out in our travel trailer and sometimes that means we are in our rooftop CVT Tent, up above the ground, on the back of our converted military trailer.
