Campfire Breakfast - Sugar-covered Croissants

Written By C. Graham Cohen

Ingredients and tools:

  • Pillsbury croissant rolls – grab 2-3 cans depending on number of folks (can only eat 2-3 of these no matter how delicious)

  • “Sugar in the Raw” – golden colored cane sugar – or similar

Cooking spears:

  • Provide sharp pocket knives (lock-back) to the children

  • Find and whittle long campfire sticks for cooking

Instructions:

  • Pour “Sugar in the Raw” into a community-accessible plate of bowl for dipping

  • Unravel a single croissant from the can into a long strip

  • Carefully wind the strip around the tip of the cooking spear, so it clings and will not fall off in the fire.

  • Holding the end of the stick, carefully roll the other end of wrapped croissant dough in the Sugar in the Raw

  • Cook over indirect heat for 2-5 minutes until golden brown (the doughy ones are the BEST!! – IMO)

Cooking Notes:

  • The raw dough will burn and sugar ignite over open flame

  • Find an area of indirect heat (like a hot oven) in the campfire

  • Each instance will take patience 😊 and is well worth every minute of cooking time
