I'll be camping this weekend and I fancy doing some experiments.
I've not made bannock before but, although there are great variations in the recipes I've found on the web, the basis seems to be:
Some recipes use self-raising flour and leave out the baking powder, some add bicarbonate of soda as well as baking powder. I wonder about using dried egg as the raising agent instead of baking powder, has anyone tried this?
And what about adding rolled oats or oatmeal, won't these make the result very dense or will it become more like crunchy oat biscuits?
If I use milk, or milk powder, should I leave out the other fats entirely or just use less of them?
Any ideas, suggestions, etc. gratefully received.
I've not made bannock before but, although there are great variations in the recipes I've found on the web, the basis seems to be:
- 1 cup (4 oz, 110g) plain flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- 1 tbsp (15g) lard
- mixed with water to make a soft dough and rolled out or pressed into pan
- baked for ten minutes per side by tilting pan up next to camp fire
