Bannock recipe?

[Grant Lamontagne]

The little stove I got has got me to thinking about outdoor cooking a lot more lately- and no I don't mean barbequing on the deck!  I have been meaning to take a lengthy kayak trip for some time now, and I have a Coleman propane stove with two burners and the little Svea 123R so I'll have the ability to do some significant cooking.  I'd pretty well planned on bringing some canned food and maybe some MRE's or boil in the bag, freeze dried foods with me, but the more I think about it the more I'd like to have some traditional foods to take along that won't spoil and some idea for something to maybe make on the way.

As a kid I ate bannock all the time, as if it was going out of style.  I haven't even thought about it in maybe twenty years, so I just did a search and found there are more bannock recipes than stars in the sky, even if most of them are just variations on a theme.  So, I thought I'd check here and see if anyone here has any thoughts, suggestions or old family recipes they would want to share.  My favorites include maple syrup and/or blueberries or raspberries.

mmm bannock and honey..  we made this in venture scouts all the time.

Ingredients:
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 cup water
Optional: brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, honey, ...
Instructions:
Mix ingredients and add water until you have a doughy consistency - don't just dump all the water in.
Knead approximately 10 minutes.
Add sugar, honey, or raisins if you want it sweeter.
Grease and heat a frying pan. Form and press the dough into cakes.
Lay the bannock in the frying pan.
As the bannock cooks, move the cakes around so they don't stick.
When the bottom crust has formed and is browned, flip the cakes over.
Cooking takes about 12 minutes.
Sprinkle with honey or brown sugar and eat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can mix all the dry ingredients into one bag at home.

Instead of cooking in a frypan, you form a footlong roll of dough about an inch in diameter and wrap it around a stick. Cook this over an open fire.

Makes 12-16 bannock cakes.

Pretty much the same recipe Pacu posted.

- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 big dollop of evaporated milk
- water

I carved a "Bannock spoon" to measure the salt and baking powder.

Wrap it around the end of a stick, cook over open fire, take off stick, put honey where stick was.

Voila, delicious bannock
