CAMP OVEN COOKING IN AUSTRALIA (COCIA) — WITH ‘THE CAMP OVEN COOK’ – DEREK BULLOCK

Below is Dave’s (my) modification of Derek’s Pumpkin Fruit Muffins (which can be found at the link above) to work with sweet potatoes instead. There are also a LOT more Dutch oven recipes at that link. Good stuff!

SWEET POTATO MUFFINS – Makes 18 standard sized muffins.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie spice – Nutmeg and Allspice will work also.
1 cup sugar
1 cup raisins
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups cooked mashed sweet potato
1 cup milk

METHOD

Mix together the flour, salt, spice, raisins and sugar in a bowl. In another bowl beat together the egg, milk, sweet potato and oil. Combine all the ingredients but don’t over mix. Place paper muffin cups in the muffin pans and divide the mixture evenly between them (about 2 large spoonfuls per cup).

Place muffin tray on a trivet in a preheated 12″ dutch oven and cook for around twenty minutes per pan. I was able to cook all 3 pans with one firing of charcoal briquet’s.

Rust removal by electrolysis

Getting more and more cast iron cooking stuff and need to clean it up. Found a post on the Teardrops and Tiny Travel Trailers site that linked to the above site that shows and explains how to do the deed with washing soda and a battery charger. Looks to be just what I need as it claims to remove paint as well as rust and other crud. Gonna have to try it this coming week as I now have 7 pans, pots, frying pans, lids, and other pieces that I need to clean. Will try to post pix of the whole process.
