Steam baking is a very forgiving technique. Basically, as long as you have water in the pot, it’s hard to make a mistake. Cook it a little more than what you might think it needs for insurance. It won’t cause a problem as long as there is water in the pot. You might be better off not blocking all the holes? Poke toothpicks into all but one hole. Or, leave them open. Adding berries or cheese to the biscuit dough adds flavor. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I just tried this and got better results than all the times I've tried dry baking. I am definitely a steam baking fan. Nothing burned and it was fully cooked. Awesome!
A couple of metal tent pegs in the bottom pan with boiling water in. It is the same effect as a steamer. The pegs lift the cup containing the mixture, off the flame under the pan, and prevents burning.
Sweet! I am definitely going to try this! I am interested to see how altitude effects baking times. Take a packet of gravy mix for use with the "baking water" and we may have a new trail favorite.

It’s a great technique for sure. Keep adjusting until you get the result you like😊.

This is one sweet experiment. Thanks for sharing 😊
A great idea! Thank you.
What I like doing when doing this method is putting a couple pebbles on the bottom to raise the cup up to prevent burning the bottom.

Thanks for the video. Gonna try with my Jetboil Micromo & Sea to Summit X-mug.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great idea Hope thank you for sharing...
This would be a great system for using over a small campfire or wood stove so you didn’t have waste can fuel.
Make a small metal ring. You do not want the cup to rest at the bottom of the pot. It will burn. You got to lift it a half inch
Cool! Basically it's a big dumpling. :)
Wow good job.

The gravy is a great idea! After you do it post back and let me know how it worked. Enjoy!
Very cool.
If you stab the biscuit with a clean dry twig and it comes out w/ no uncooked dough on it, it's done.
I have the 1 cup x mug. I wonder how much faster it would cook
MyHandymanHero - is that the X-cup?
Larry Samuels yes
Cool, but that's a lot of fuel burn .
If you remove the water halfway, it will dry bake and brown
Steam baking doesn't get as browned as dry baking does.
I prefer to dry bake. It's much more like oven baked
Make them smaller
need water in first,
Dry baking seems to work a little better than steam baking.
The only thing is, with dry baking, temps can run away with you. With steam, you don't get the browning, but you at least know what the temp is.

Cook for 30 minutes minimum.
