Use an empty tomato sauce can (or water bottle lid) to cut out the doughnut. Preheat about 2 inches deep of vegetable oil in a 375-400 degree dutch oven. The smaller diameter the better to cut down on oil needed and heating time. Carefully drop doughnuts and holes into hot oil. They will sink and then float back up as they cook. Fry until golden brown, flipping once. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Keep the oil hot or the doughnuts may get greasy.  |

Dutch Oven Fondue or Fryer | |
| Intended for: | Boy Scouts |
| Ingredients: | cooking oil various meats and vegetables batter sauces metal skewers or fondue forks |
| Instructions: | A dutch oven works great as an oil fondue or deep fryer. Safety around the hot coals is the one thing that should be stressed and enforced. All you need is two inches of oil poured in the D.O. and heated to 350-375 degrees. Keep the lid off the D.O. and set it on plenty of coals. Scouts can fondue beef, shrimp, chicken, any meat that will stay on a skewer. We've done hamburger balls, too, but a few will be lost. Fish works fine if you dip it in batter first, otherwise it will flake off. You can also dip vegetables in a batter and fondue them. Green beans are great. Cut potatoes and make french fries or potato chips. Can make doughnuts for dessert. We've tried both cheese and chocolate fondue in a dutch oven, but found it too difficult to regulate the heat to keep it hot, but not burned. |

Hudson Bay Bread | |
| Intended for: | All Scouts |
| Ingredients: | 3/4 lb. softened butter 2 cups sugar 1/3 cup light Karo syrup 1/3 cup honey 1 tsp maple flavoring 3/4 cup ground nuts (walnuts) 9 cups Quaker 1-minute oats |
| Notes: | This is the recipe from Northern Tier but you can modify the ingredients to include raisins, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, or what sounds good. |
| Instructions: | You may want to grind up the oats in a blender or food processor. Cream together all the ingredients except the nuts and oats, in a large mixing bowl. Once it is all blended, stir in the oats and nuts. Make sure it is well mixed. Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch high lip. Press the mixture down and pack it in until it fills the pan and is a smidge less than 1/2 inch thick. You'll probably need a second sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and press down with a spatula to prevent crumbling when it cools. (If you bake it too long, it gets hard and crunchy like a granola bar.) While it is still warm, cut into 3 inch squares. This is often eaten for lunch while canoeing. Globs of peanut butter and/or jelly are loaded on top and then eaten. It is a high-energy food that is great when you are burning lots of calories outside. |
