I use a recipe of 4 cups flour, 4 table spoons of brown sugar, 3 table spoons of baking powder, 4 tea spoons of salt, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts to taste. It tastes pretty good. I pour about 3-4 table spoons of oil into the pan before I cook it.

table spoons? of baking powder or should that be teaspoons baking powder?

I usualy use a teaspoon baking powder to every 4oz / spoon of flour
looks heavy on the salt to me & bardster always says my bannocks are salty

cinnamon raisens & walnuts are damm good in bannocks - goes well with 40% chestnut flour

Your bannocks are salty I like salty food though so that's fine by me. You keep making them Mike and we'll keep eating them



By the way, in case you guys are unaware, Mad Mike is an unrivalled Bannock Genius.

I reckon Scruff may be up there with him. It'd be nice for them to have a bannock cook off!

Now that's an idea

We could call it ''Ready, Steady...Bake''.
They both bring 4 ingredients and they have an hour to see what they can come up with. Independant adjudicators decided on the best one and the winner gets a hug from Ainsley Harriott

bannock, bacon, beer & brandy

Here's my recipe if you are interested (feeds two)

2 cups plain white flour
1 cup dried milk powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
sultanas, raisins or some other berries of your choice (we used blackberries earlier in the year at the Bucks meet and it was very tasty )

I mix these before leaving home and then just add water at camp until I get a dough :11doh: .

Lightly oil your frying pan or baking tray and press the dough onto it until it's about an inch thick. Place next to the fire at an angle so that it doesn't slip off and keep turning to avoid burning.

It is also possible to cook in an improvised dutch oven using two shallow billy cans (One inside the other) and cover with hot ash/embers or wrap around a stick like sausages and hold over the fire.

Happy cooking
