top, cook the second side until brown.YIELD: Cup of batter mix equals 3 to 4 pancakes 4 inches in

Above pancakes prepared on 07-20-14 and were outstanding; light, fluffy
and melt in your mouth good. I am surprised they didn't float off the
plate; Oppps, they did, right off my fork into the ole taste buds
area.........grin if you must! I used Walmart brand extra fluffy
pancake mix for these.
NOTES: When cooking on the river either over an open fire or using
a Coleman type liquid gas or propane stove, ones appetite really gets
humongous from all the good clean fresh air, peaceful and tranquil state of
mind and the extra energy expended setting up a camp site, chopping fire
wood, setting trot-lines, working fish baskets, setting bush hooks, looking
for Native American artifacts such as
arrow and spear heads, pottery,
swimming, boating and a host of other things that refreshes ones spirit by
getting away from the day to day events called Life!
Meals prepared over an open camp fire using cast iron cookware is a whole
cooking world and experience within it's self. Using a Dutch oven
surrounded by a glowing bed of red hot coals with hot coals/embers on top of the lid, one can prepare about
anything you desire including baking pies and cakes, biscuits, roasts, stews
and whatever you have the raw materials for. The secret to a Dutch
oven is the flanged tight fitting
lid that allows you to place the hot coals on top of the lid whereby
applying heat from the top as well from the bottom and sides. During our many years of
camping on Blewett
Falls Lake, Pee Dee River, Anson County, North Carolina, we certainly did
have wonderful table fare and memories to last a life time!
Recipe from
Mel Marshall's Outdoor Cookery. Recipe from steelhead
fishing addicts on the upper reaches of California's Klamath River, where
they lived in a little cabin near the town of Orleans. A dozen or so
steelhead addicts turned the cabin into a sort of informal fly fisherman's
headquarters, and for several years (Mel Marshall) was a more or less
regular member of the group.
An excellent pancake batter mix is available
from
Wal-Mart Extra Fluffy Great
Value Brand. Just add water per the directions on the box and I
add 1 teaspoon of pure Mexican or my home made
vanilla extract. You will be surprised at the taste and texture.
