If you gotta measure or you’re squeamish, you’re not a camper! This is an old recipe, but it is perfect for bored kids stuck at home.
Bannock
Used by Indians in Canada & American Backpackers. In this age of bread shortages, this recipe can be used at home—mix in a bowl and cook over a stove. The kids might even enjoy helping.
In 2-quart freezer bag
2 cups all-purpose flour
½-teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-tablespoon sugar
¼ cup powdered milk
Cook that stuff!
- Put 1 cup cold water in bag and let sit a couple minutes.
- Mix thoroughly (shake, rattle, and roll).
- Put into greased (buttered) skillet. Liquid margarine works great.
- Cook until brown. You can turn it or hold the top next to a campfire to brown both sides. I just brown one side.
- Pig out – can be used for dessert with butter or strawberries. Without the margarine, it’s almost fat free.
