and all of a sudden, out of the blue, you have the overwhelming craving for waffles.  Not just any waffles like those frozen abominations but waffles made from the finest waffle batter you can find and mix up.  Of course it is that Hungry Jack complete pancake and waffle mix.  Now what?  You break out your handy dandy campfire waffle iron and presto, craving satisfied...

Life don't get much better than having campfire waffles...
We had the Pocket Puff Iron making "poppinfresh" dough Orange Danish breakfast rolls at Ehrenburg camp last Christmas

Feeling too full. Gotta move around now.
Anyone wanna play Croquet?
Got balls for 6, mallets too.
You guys are making me hungry! Any idea of a link for those muffin things?
Along this line of thought, I am looking for an easy, minimum ingredient flatbread. No yeast. Mostly to dip into my chili. This is what I have found, but haven't tried yet.

--------
Servings: 3 -4 decent sized flatbreads
Ingredients
1 mug of plain flour if you only have self raising that will work fine, it'll just puff up a little bit
A pinch of salt
A glug of oil about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon
Enough cold or warm water to turn the mix into a dough

Instructions...
Pop all the dry ingredients in a large bowl or large ziploc bag. Pour in the oil then add the water slowly, stirring the bowl or massaging the bag as you go.
When you have something that looks vaugley dough like, tip out onto a lightly floured board or table and roll or press into as evenly thin as possible. If it looks too wet and is sticking to everything, add more flour. If it is dry and crumbly, pop back in the bowl or bag and add a bit more water at a time until it looks smooth.
Some of the kids used a rolling pin but you can press with your hands or roll with a bottle or even squash the dough with a plate or pan base.
The kids love to shape their breads into all kinds of shapes, but by keeping them thin and even they'll taste much better as they'll be cooked evenly.
Heat up a skillet or frying pan on the fire or gas stove and add a little dash of oil. You don't really want a lot of oil in there, just enough to stop the bread from sticking.
Cook each flatbread for a couple minutes, until the dough puffs up with fat bubbles and the bottom looks golden brown in places. Flip over and cook the other side.
-------
Its real simple and I think a dash of garlic powder in the dough would work great for chili. Any better ideas?

Stuck in their recipe section. Might get a couple of their books.

When a sudden craving hits me,it's usually for beer.

Hail Wabbit! That's on my list, too! Smile

Over the last week, I've made tortillas/flatbread twice. Both times, it was "meh", but edible. It feels like something that just needs more practice. And/or salt (I didn't add it either time), and/or better oil.

I love the idea of on-demand bread. Smile
Biscuits take 5 min (or less if using something like Bisquick) prep and 10-15 mins in a hot dutch oven...
