Bannock

It's Canada Day today.  Happy Canada Day! 

Many people have extended the weekend or have started their summer vacation, it's pretty deserted around here! They're out enjoying their cabins and campgrounds - we seem to stay home on long weekends and go camping during the week when it's a little quieter, so we're at home enjoying the heat! 

This fabulous day calls for a great campfire dish.

I'm originally from a largely First Nations community and growing up, one of the staples was Bannock, a basic bread that is perfect for camping. It can be fried in fat/oil, baked in the oven, or cooked over fire.

Bannock fried in oil


Bannock

2 cups Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Tbsp Sugar
1/4 cup Powdered Milk
*Add 1 cup Water when making

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a plastic resealable bag and you've got a great bread option when camping. All you have to do is add the water, mix well and fry in a couple Tbsp of oil or fat or roast on a stick over an open flame. Top with Jam, peanut butter, cheese, butter, honey, or your favourite bread topping for a delicious easy camping bread . 

One of our favourite was to eat Bannock is to make Bannock Dogs - Bannock wrapped around a wiener and roasted on a stick over the campfire. We dip it in mustard or ketchup for a tasty campfire treat.
