Bannock

Bannock is a simple indigenous food that can be cooked on a pan or over an open fire.

The ingredients are:

2 cups of flour

1/3 cup of brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons of baking powder

Mix them together. If you're going to take it camping or use it sometime in the future or cook it over a campfire, put all the ingredients in a Ziplock bag. Otherwise use a bowl.

Add water until it is the consistency of soft Play doh.

If you're using a frying pan, spread it out like a pancake and cook it until the inside is done. It's pretty tasteless by itself so spread some jam or honey on it to add flavour.

We take the dry ingredients along camping because it keeps a long, long time and you just have to add water. Cooking it over a campfire takes a long time but we really enjoy it.

Find a stick that is about the width of a ruler and scrape the bark of off the last 12 inches (30 cm). Add water to your bannock mix. Grab a handful of the dough and, starting at the top, turn the stick and move your hand down so that it forms a relatively even spiral layer of dough on the stick. Cook until the inside is done.
