Best 5 Camp Cornbread Recipes

CAMPFIRE SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, swirling the pan to coat the bottom and sides. Then heat the butter until it stops foaming and turns a light brown color; watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Pour the brown butter into a large bowl and set the skillet aside. Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, followed by the buttermilk and whole milk. Then whisk in the eggs. Add the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk together until combined.
• Pour the cornmeal batter into the cast-iron skillet. Bake until firm in the center, golden brown on the sides, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with butter.

CAMPFIRE DUTCH OVEN CHILI AND CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Add the salsa, tomatoes, hatch chiles, beans, corn, chili powder and 1 1/4 cups water to a pre-seasoned 5-quart cast-iron Dutch oven and stir to combine. Prepare the corn muffin mix with the egg and milk according to package directions and spoon in dollops on top of the bean mixture. Cover with the lid and be careful not swing the pot too much when transferring it to the fire to keep the batter on top (it will sink a bit though).
• Prepare a campfire or charcoal grill for cooking at medium-high heat (you'll know it's ready when you can hold your hand about 2 inches above the fire or grates for only 2 to 3 seconds). Arrange the coals so there is a hole in the center large enough to hold the Dutch oven without it touching any coals directly. Place the Dutch oven in the hole. With grilling tongs or a shovel, place a few coals on the lid of the Dutch oven. Cook for 20 minutes, rotating the pot occasionally. Remove the coals from the lid and take the Dutch oven off the fire. Let sit, covered, for 15 minutes before serving with desired toppings.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

CAMPFIRE CAST IRON CORNBREAD

Steps:

• You will need a cast iron chicken frying pan with a lid and a few iron S-hooks to raise the pan up off the ground.
• Build a campfire with wood and allow the fire to burn until you have some good embers going. Add a layer of coal. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire. Completely grease the inside of the cast iron pan and the lid with lard. Set the pan next to the fire on some coals to preheat for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Sift cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Make a hole in the middle of the mixture. Add buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract into the hole. Stir together until a lumpy batter forms, but don't overmix. Allow batter to sit while you check the pan; grease should not be smoking but only be hot and melted. If it is smoking, remove from heat and cool down until it no longer smokes. Pour batter into the hot pan and cover with the lid.
• Place a very thin layer of embers on the ground and use the S hooks to raise the bottom of the pan and allow air to circulate. Place about 1/3 of the amount of embers you used underneath on the top of the pan. Bake without removing the lid until cornbread is cooked through and a toothpick comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
