Dutch Oven Cinnamon Rolls


What is a better way to spend the morning in the outdoors than enjoying homemade cinnamon rolls!  Not only do camp cinnamon rolls provide an amazing breakfast, but making them is a great way to engage the whole family and create lasting memories.
Yield: 6 servings

ingredients:

dough:
4 cups Bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 2/3 cup milk

Stir together until dough is easy to handle


filling:

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups sugar
2-3 tablespoons cinnamon

Roll dough into tennis ball sized amounts and flatten into rectangles 2 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. Spread dough with butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.  From the shorter side, roll the dough, forming swirled rolls.  Align rolls in a greased, dutch oven with the swirls facing up.  Cover the oven with the lid. Place dutch oven on top of a small cooking fire and begin a new small fire on top of the oven.  Tend to the fire for 10-15 minutes.  Check periodically to see when the rolls become golden and cooked through. Use pot grippers to carefully remove the top fire and move the dutch oven to a heat resistant surface.


frosting:

1/2 cup butter
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

Soften butter in a saucepan and add powdered sugar.  Stir in cream cheese and vanilla.  Once melted, pour over finished cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
