Bannock

2 cups flour
4 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup margarine
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1.5 cups cold milk (approx)

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly then add margarine and mix until everything is crumbly. Slowly add the milk until everything is incorporated but not sticky.

Roll out on floured board and cut into circles, bake at 375 about 20 - 25 mins until browned. Don't over handle the bannock or it will become tough and won't rise.

I make big slabs of bannock when I go camping. Instead of cutting into circles I keep it whole and bake until done. You can cut slices for toast or sandwiches and it keeps longer this way.

Another variation is that I add about 1 tbsp of dill to the bannock.

My grandmother cut back the milk and added saskatoons to hers. Some people add raisins. You can do almost anything with bannock.

I make beef or moose stew then place bannock on top and place into oven, this is what we thought Shepards pie was when growing up. Can do this with turkey/chicken stew, hamburger stew etc.

Takes practice to make good bannock so don't be discouraged if it isn't great your first try.

I'm sure this isn't right, but I just mix flour, water, and a bit of baking soda in together. Batter is usually sticky. Throw it in the oven at 350 and wait until golden brown. You can also fry this recipe which is nice when you're out camping. Just throw a spoonful of the concoction into a frying pan with some oil or butter. It's how I was taught to make it a long long time ago, and it tastes good so I stick with it.

Bannock recipe, take anywhere just add water (Submitted by crazy davey)
Premix 2 cups of flour with,

-1/2 tsp of salt
-2 tsp baking powder
-1 tblsp of sugar
-1/4 cup of powdered milk

(multiply ratio as needed)

Mix all ingredients well and store in a ziplock bag or container of choice.

When ready to eat, just take 1 cup of mixture and add cold water slowly while mixing, just a little water at a time. Untill you get a nice uniform dough, and dont knead too much, you want to keep the air in the dough making it lighter and not so much like a hockey puck.

Then spread dough evenly into a well oiled pan and cook slowly untill browned and then flip and do the same for the other side. Add butter and maybe some jam and enjoy.

If you make the dough nice and thick it can also be wrapped around a stick and cooked over the fire, just take your time not to burn it

NOTE:add raisins, blueberries etc. to make it even more enjoyable

When I was 18 I canoed the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson, made bannock every morning. Used this same recipe with raisins. Lived on it for two weeks.
