Ingredients

Batter Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk

Batter Dry Ingredients (can be measured and mixed at home)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch salt

For Pot

2 tablespoons butter

Topping Ingredients

1 pint fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon sugar you may want to adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the berries
1 lemon zest 1/2 the lemon and juice the whole lemon
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

Allow milk and eggs to come to room temperature.
Prepare the fruit by placing the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl and set aside so the berries can macerate.
Prepare the batter by whisking the eggs, milk, flour, nutmeg and salt in medium size bowl.
Preheat 10 inch camp Dutch oven to 425 F degrees (27 total coals or briquettes = 18 on top of the lid/9 below the bottom of the oven). (see * Note)
Prepare the Dutch oven by melting the butter in the bottom of the pan.
Pour batter evenly over the melted butter.
Bake covered till puffed and slightly browned, about 30 minutes depending on your outside air temperature and altitude so adjust the baking time accordingly. Rotate the lid and oven in opposite directions 1/4 turn every 10 minutes for even baking. (see ** Note)
Serve topped with the macerated berries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Notes

*NOTE: If you are using a different oven size, use our Dutch Oven Temperature Chart to determine how many hot coals you need to maintain 425 F degrees. https://www.campingforfoodies.com/dutch-oven-temperature-chart/

**NOTE: To ensure even baking in your Dutch oven camping recipes, rotate the camp oven throughout the cooking time so everything cooks evenly. 1/4 turn for the bottom (say clockwise) then 1/4 turn in the opposite direction for the lid (this would be counterclockwise.) I like using a lid-lifter for this process but you can also use heat-resistant gloves or another favorite flameproof tool.
