Campfire Doughnuts
We have seen ton of recipes for campfire doughnuts on the internet but all of them rely on canned biscuit dough, which is handy if you’re actually sitting around a campfire but since we were in our home kitchen we decided to experiment with a homemade biscuit dough, it was a definite success!

These look great but I am not sure why they are ‘campfire’ biscuits. However a very long standing tradition in our family of ‘real’ campfire biscuits could be stepped up a notch using this idea. Every summer we have campfires at our cottage in Caribou when we make ‘twisters’. We wrap biscuit dough around a fat stick and cook the biscuits over the campfire. When the biscuit is ‘firm’ to the touch it is taken off the stick and jam is poured inside the hole made from the stick. The lemon curd is an excellent idea to ramp it up a notch. The idea for the twisters goes back more than 60 years where all campers who went to Camp Geddie in Merigomish made these campfire biscuits.
