Tips:

Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good option for backpacking biscuits, but you can also use whole wheat flour or a combination of the two. If you're using whole wheat flour, you may need to add a little more water to the dough.
Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky biscuits. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for 15 minutes before grating it.
Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Once the dough comes together, stop kneading it.
Let the dough rest: Letting the dough rest will help to develop the gluten and make the biscuits more tender. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help to create crispy biscuits. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the biscuits.

Conclusion:

Backpacking biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make campfire treat. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your biscuits turn out perfect every time. So next time you're planning a backpacking trip, be sure to add backpacking biscuits to your menu.
