Beer Pancakes: Try Out This RV Camping Recipe
When it comes to a good RV camping recipe, you want something easy to pack, quick to cook, and not too hard to clean up. Pancakes are perfect camping food. They generally only require one bowl and a pan to cook (less if you use the camp cooking hack mentioned later). Instead of milk, this beer pancake recipe requires a cold one.
Choose Your Beer
The type of beer you use will affect the final taste of the beer pancakes. Lighter beers like lagers and pilsners will be mild, while fruity beers may go well with fruit toppings. Chocolate chip lovers will want to use a dark beer, like a stout or porter.
Note: The cooking heat and times are not enough to evaporate the alcohol in the beer. For a child-friendly camping recipe, use non-alcoholic root beer.
