Pioneer Cooks: Dutch Baby 🔥 & Cowboy Coffee In A Frontier Cabin

It's a frosty New Year's start out on the Montana Prairie & we are here to cook! This 1889 historic house is abandoned no longer. My little girl & I are firing up the old wood-burning cookstove for an all day marathon of making historic recipes. 3 old classics: cowboy coffee (with eggshells), rudimentary hot cocoa, and a Dutch baby pancake (no leavening).

When the firewood is chopped, the coffee brewed, the food cooked, and the dishes washed (sans running water), we will be proud that today was no "soft-living" day--it took muscle, grit, & the will to march on through the cold, snowy hours. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you!

Cowboy Coffee:
4 heaping TBS coarse ground coffee
3 cups of water
1 eggshell, washed
*Boil all together for a minimum 20 minutes.

Dutch Baby:
3 eggs, whipped until light
1 cup whole milk
splash of vanilla
1 cup of flour
1TBS sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBS bacon grease
2 TBS butter
*Heat cast iron skillet in the oven until hot at aprox 425 degrees. Add butter and bacon grease to skillet. Pour in batter that has been whipped for 5 minutes straight, then rested for 25 min (to let the flour absorb the liquids). Bake at 425 for 8 min, reduce heat to 350 & bake for another 15 min. Serve hot!
