No power day 6. Can you bake biscuits on cooktop?

[sgschef]

How about anything? Biscuits. Buns. Cookies. Scones. Need something to get my blood moving and make me stop worrying about the trees on the house and the totaled car??!!!

I haven't tried it, but there's a CI recipe for stovetop Cranberry Pot Pie that looks really interesting. You basically simmer cranberries/sugar/water in a 12" skillet, then make a simple biscuit dough, roll it into a 12" round, lay over the cranberries, cover, and cook on low for about 15 minutes. Good luck!

you can cook What we call a griddle cake and have it withbaco or sausages.....I am so sorry that you are in this distress. I feel very guilty at not being able to help you. I am sending some winter stuff to the red cross......Just mix up some flour and water a little powdered milk if you have it if not just use bottled water and powdered creamer. Shortening of somekind would be good, lard bacon fat, oil,about half a cup to 1 cup of flour Mix to a rough dough, donot over handle it you can put in some add ins if you have them, like chees or raisins Then have your cook top as hot as you can get it, pull or cut the dough into pieces and cook for 12 minutes each side.If baking soda is available to you use half a teaspoon to 1 cup of flour. Make some pan gravy after you cook them and you have a nourishing tasty meal. Sorry Im late with my reply but I did not boot up till tonight.

I am so sorry about your situation!

I used to make cornbread in an iron skillet on a cooktop.

Let us know how things are going, and best of luck.

English Muffins are my first favourite for powerless days (propane cooktop). Pita bread will also work. Pancakes. Fritata-flip when half cooked by sliding it onto a plate and then back onto the skillet upside down.

Make your biscuits on the thin side and they should do fine on top of the stove. Flip them over when the bottoms are nice and brown.

My phone and laptop both work quite well when the power is off.

I have nothing to add but my thoughts and prayers to you and others!
Please keep us posted how you are doing.
Warm biscuits should help..

Same here. My thoughts are with you. We were out for a week, but luckily no damage.
