Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup shortening, at room temp
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons butter buds or 2 teaspoons molly mcbutter

• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup blueberries

• 3 tablespoons cold water

Recipe

• 1 fit food processor with steel blade.
• 2 add flour, sugar, dry milk, baking powder, butter buds and salts; pulse three or four times to blend ingredients.
• 3 add shortening; pulse five or six times until shortening is "cut in" to dry ingredients; mixture will resemble cornmeal consistency.
• 4 divide mixture into two batches and store in plastic bag in fridge until your trip.
• 5 place in small plastic bag and seal with a twist-tie: 4 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
• 6 combine in pint plastic zipper bag: 1/3 cup dried blueberries, half the scone recipe (about 7/8 cup) and the small sealed bag with cinnamon sugar.
• 7 carry separately: clarified butter for greasing the pan and a little flour for dusting skillet and forming scones.
• 8 butter the inside of a pan. sprinkle 1 tsp flour inside the pan; shake to distribute.
• 9 in a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp water with the blueberry scone mix; stir with fork just until moistened (if it seems dry, add a few drops of cold water to the mix) don't use too much water or stir longer than necessary; the scones will be tough).
• 10 flour your hands and form dough into flat, round biscuits, shaped to fit snugly in a single layer in your pan. place the scones in the prepared pan. cover with the lid or the piece of foil (as directed above).
• 11 cook the scones over a bed of coals, not a blazing fire push a fairly thin bed of coals off to the side of the fire (this will cool the coals down slightly, so you won't be as likely to burn the scones).
• 12 place the clamped-together or wrapped pan on top of the small bed of coals.
• 13 shovel some more coals on top of the pan.
• 14 let it cook for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the coals. open the pan carefully to prevent ashes from getting into the pan.
• 15 if the scones aren't done, re-seal and return the pan to the fire for a few minutes.
• 16 cool slightly and sprinkle with cinnamon -sugar mixture before serving.
