Served these for breakfast on a cold Scout campout, the scouts couldn't get enough and have added it to their breakfast menu for winter camping.

As a kid I went through a phase where I completely fell in love with the Little House on the Prairie series. This is an excellent recipe to complement any childhood interest in the pioneers of the old west. Simple and basic, this recipe is fit for a winter meal with sausage and maple syrup.

As expected these are a bit on the dry side. Serve with gigantic glasses of milk.
