So, in my group of friends. I am known for making some pretty epic biscuits, and gravy. I have a buddy up in Bellingham WA. His sweetie told me that every time I come to visit, she hopes I make biscuits, and gravy. Now I make a point of it. Because of this I worked to have a written recipe. I used to just make it by feel. I decided to figure out how to make a backpacking version. I scaled my biscuit recipe down. Then I did the same for the gravy recipe. In the gravy I replaced the sausage with freeze dried sausage crumbles. I used Nestle Nido whole milk powder. I replace the fresh rosemary, onions, garlic, and mushrooms with dried ingredients. One day I did a test run at work, and fed it to my Cellarman Luke. We talked over the recipe, and decided the gravy was good to go. I decided the biscuit needed to be bigger. After scaling up the biscuit. I posted the recipe to my blog. A couple weeks back I found myself on a road trip to Boise ID. I spent the night outside of Bend OR. In the morning I shot a YouTube video on how to make Backpacking Biscuits, and Gravy. I truly feel that this is some of my finest work, and one of my best videos.

When I am headed out to the woods or returning from a backpacking trip, one of my morning eats is biscuits, sausage gravy, 2 sausage patties, 2 eggs over easy, and coffee. The only other time, I get to eat biscuits and gravy is on my birthday and, typically, a 2 hour gym workout, a 6+ mile hike or a 5 mile run follows that meal.

This sounds good for winter weekend trips. We do less miles, cook more. Have to dial back the spices for our tastes, but looks great! Do any dehydrating?

For those who aren't willing to put the effort to make fresh biscuits on the trail, that gravy would go a long way toward making hard tack more edible. Thanks for sharing.

As a budget version of B&G, you can dehydrate slices of toast. Apply the gravy and boom. Quick easy meal that's light and dirt cheap.
It's surprisingly good with a bit of salt and pepper.

Thanks for a great video. Never really thought of "baking" in the back country. You could probably do the same thing with "baking" muffins? Heck, cake mix too? I may be a bit more runny than biscuits though.
