Secret of Light and Fluffy Biscuits and PancakesWritten by Joey Robichaux

So ... cut down on your milk portion. Add a little milk to oatmeal, then add your dry ingredients, then slowly mix, adding more milk a little bit at a time as necessary. One other change -- since you'll be using less milk, baking powder in your mix won't have as much acid to react to. This means your biscuits won't rise like they normally do unless you give them a little bit of help. I like to toss a squeeze of lemon juice into mix. You won't taste lemon, but it'll supercharge your baking powder. Again, your dough will be a little frothy. You'll use less milk and dough will not be as dense as usual. If you're rolling dough and using a biscuit cutter, roll your dough a little thicker than normal before cutting. That's all -- bake as normal and your result will be biscuits light enough to float off pan!

Continued from page 1 Campfire Perculator Coffee Pot Recipe 3. This is most common method of making campfire coffee. Start with 1½ tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee for each 6 oz of water when using a perculator coffee pot. Here is a trick if you end up with grounds in your coffee. Poke a hole in a regular coffee filter and put it in perk basket. Watch percolator for coffee color. The longer it perks stronger your coffee will be. A perculator coffee pot takes practice but they make great campfire coffee. Good Tip If you use unpleasant lake, well or tap water your coffee will never taste very good. Coffee is 98% water so using good water will make all of difference in good or bad coffee. Bring good water with you and you will enjoy your campfire coffee a lot more.
