Troop 101 Breakfast Recipes
Bring salted water to a rolling boil in large pot or Dutch oven. Add oats and raisins. Stir constantly until most all the water is absorbed. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with milk and brown sugar.
Pancakes - start with 4 cups of mix and add water a little at a time until a proper batter consistency is achieved (about 3 cups). With this kind of batter, smaller pancakes get better results than larger ones. When bubbles have broken out over all the uncooked side, pancake is ready to flip. Second side will not take quite as long. Keep griddle well greased (use a paper towel soaked with oil).
Farmers' Breakfast - (quantities for 12)
1½ lb. bacon 1 cup milk
1 med. onion 24 eggs
2 cans potatoes
Dice bacon and cook it in Dutch oven, stirring frequently so it cooks evenly. Slice potatoes, if they don’t come that way. Also dice onion. When bacon is cooked it is removed, leaving bacon fat in oven. Brown the potatoes and onion in Dutch oven. Crack eggs into a pan and beat with milk. After potatoes are brown, add bacon back in and pour in eggs. Mix thoroughly. Frequently scrape bottom and sides of oven until eggs are cooked. Serve immediately.
Corned Beef Hash & Poached Eggs
Place 1 can of roast beef or corned beef hash for every two people into Dutch oven. Flatten out and let brown for several minutes then turn, flatten and after just a couple minutes, make indentations in the top with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each indentation (2 per person) and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer so that the steam cooks the eggs. Peek carefully after about 5 minutes to see if eggs have turned white. Coals can be added to the top of the oven. Care should be used to not burn the bottom. Made properly, yolks should be soft and served with toast.
