Ingredients

Units

  • Pancake batter

    • about 0.8 cup wheat flour
    • about 0.8 cup milk
    • 2 stk eggs
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 knsp salt
    • 1 tbsp butter or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix campfire pancake batter

    1. Whisk flour, milk, eggs, sugar and salt into a smooth, pourable batter – the same pancake batter you would bring to the fire. Thin enough to run on the pan, but not watery.
    2. Mix the batter at home and pour it into a clean bottle or jug with a screw lid – campfire pancake batter ready without mixing in ash.

    Warm the pan over embers

    1. Set the pan over embers – not in the middle of the flames. Add fat and wait until it sizzles lightly.

    Cook thin layers and flip once

    1. Pour a thin layer of batter onto the pan – tilt so it spreads. Too-thick batter burns at the edge before the center is done over a fire.
    2. Cook until the underside is golden, flip once, and remove. Hold the pan farther from the embers if the crust darkens too fast.

Tips

Preparation

  • • Campfire pancake batter: mix at home, bring in a bottle. Shake before each pancake – flour settles.
  • • Add 1–2 tbsp extra flour in the bottle if the batter thins during transport.

Cooking

  • • Embers give more control than flames. Move the pan if one side browns too fast.
  • • Grease between each pancake – outdoor pans dry faster than at home.

Serving

  • • Serve straight from the pan with jam or sugar – campfire pancakes are shared food, not plated courses.
