Doughboys(Method: Stick)
Doughboys are fun, portable snacks made by spiraling biscuit dough around a stick, then toasted to golden perfection, filled with butter and jelly for a sweet, nostalgic treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll the refrigerator biscuit between your hands to form a 1/2-inch thick snake.
- Wrap the biscuit spiral around a toasting stick, keeping the spirals close together.
- Pinch the ends of the biscuit tight against the stick to secure.
- Toast over hot coals, turning continuously to brown evenly, for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the stick and fill the hollow with butter and jelly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh refrigerator biscuits and check the cooking time, as it can vary depending on the heat of the coals. If you prefer a sweeter option, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or sugar to the dough before toasting. You can also experiment with different fillings like Nutella or peanut butter instead of jelly. For a savory twist, try adding cheese or garlic butter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your doughboys warm and filled with butter and jelly as a delightful snack or dessert. They pair beautifully with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee for a cozy treat. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a fruit salad or as part of a camping meal with grilled sausages or veggies. Browse more American recipes for delicious outdoor treats.
Storage & Reheating
Doughboys are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. However, if you have leftovers, let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. To reheat, place them in a warm oven for a few minutes or toast them lightly on a skillet to revive their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough can provide a fresher taste and allow for customization. Just ensure the dough is rolled into a similar thickness to ensure even cooking over the coals. Adjust cooking time as needed for homemade dough, as it may cook faster or slower than store-bought options.
What if I don't have a toasting stick?
If a traditional toasting stick isn't available, you can use a long metal skewer or even a fork, though a skewer may provide better support for the biscuit spiral. Just be cautious with metal skewers, as they can get very hot. Ensure you have a safe way to hold it over the heat.
Can I make these doughboys ahead of time?
While it's best to cook them fresh, you can prepare the biscuit spirals ahead and wrap them in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for a few hours. When ready to cook, simply unwrap and toast them over the coals. This makes for quicker preparation during outings or gatherings.
