Dough on a stick

[Aliwren]

As its bonfire night next week I am looking for something suitable for children (and probably the adults too!) to cook supervised around an open fire. I remember in scouts making dough on a stick over the fire which tasted great. Does anyone have a suitable receipe for this or any other ideas? many thanks

In its simplest form, it is flour and water.
Adding a pinch of salt makes it better and adding ingredients all the way to a full blown bannock will also work well depending on the skill, or otherwise, of the person holding the stick.
You can wrap it in a loose spiral so that you can break off pieces to eat, or wrap it tightly so it cooks to a cone - which can then be filled with butter and jam for a sticky sweet snack.

Sounds like fun, ATB

Here is a good basic recipe Aliwren;

TWISTED CAMPFIRE BREAD

Willow sticks are ideal for campfire cooking.

1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
Pinches of baking soda
1 tablespoon butter
Water

Mix all dry ingredients; blend in butter. Put some flour on your hands; pour in just enough water to make dough stiff. When dough is ready, twist around a washed and rinsed stick. Hold over hot coals, turning stick from time to time to cook evenly. Makes 2 servings.

Per serving: 263 calories, 6 grams protein, 7 grams fat, 44 grams carbohydrate, 220 milligrams sodium, 16 milligrams cholesterol.

Do soak the sticks to prevent them burning too easily and/or use green wood. Make sure they are not too thin or the dough will end up in the fire and avoid any poisonous species like cherry laurel! willow, hazel with bark stripped to be posh. For kids I suggest the addition of a drizzle of golden syrup to the cooked twist will add to the whole smile inducing experience. Water down a bit to aid easy pouring

Thanks for all the advice - I will let you know how it goes!

I like to use a tablespoon of baking powder to each cup of flour for bannock, but if you want something easier (though of course more expensive) pillsbury crescent rolls work well for wrapping around a stick. Don't know if you have this in the UK:

Just break open the container and wrap the pieces of dough around the sticks.
