I figure the more I can channel my great-great-grandparents into that kind of work, the better off I will be in a grid-down world, whether that be due to a cyber pandemic, a foreigner-installed kill switch, or whatever else may come.

And so, knowing that campfire cooking is an important primitive skill to master, I've been fiddling around with a pie iron of late, and I have a recipe for a pretty cool breakfast scone that you may want to give a try.

What's a pie iron?

If you're not familiar with what a pie iron is, it's essentially two square pieces of cast iron that are each attached to long sticks. There's a hinge that connects the cast iron pieces to each other, and they're hollowed out so that you can pour batter into them.
