Making bannock in the backcountry

Here I'm showing how I make my bannock in the morning when I'm canoe tripping.

What happened at 2:18? Looks like it was cut to not show how hard the spreading of the bannock is. It also looks like there is flour between your fingers - did you use your hand to spread it? If so, next time leave the "hard to do" in the "how to do"

@broadwayFan28 Thanks for watching. I can appreciate what you're saying since yes, I did cut out some of the spreading because I found it to be a bit of a yawn watching more of the same. But, in hindsight I think you're right and you'll notice in many of the newer videos I have instead sped the video up so everything is still shown but not for a long time. You don't feel like you've been duped by the ape on the camera doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

and this is just like bread?

[MaddyTheGoose]

@WaRB1RD217 Well, it is a bread but it's non-rising so probably not like what you're thinking of if you're referring to a loaf. Non-rising breads are heavier and not as squishy. By adding lard, about 1 heaping table spoon a serving, it'll come out more like biscuits. Very tasty with ghee. It's also great for dipping. I make it at home for dipping into hummus.

i just made your bannock bread on the home stove first before i try it out on my camping stove and i must say yummmmyy. . thanks!

[MaddyTheGoose]

@Ccoach55 Glad you enjoyed it. Now if you want to dazzle your friends and your taste buds you can make cinnamon rolls. Just put some raisins in the mix before you add the water then spread it out on something, I use my map case, nice and thin then sprinkle it with cinnamon and give it a nice coating of brown sugar. Now just go ahead and roll it all up into a log, slice it into about 3/4" pieces (like little pucks), lay them out flat on the pan and cook 'em up!

Watched video and being a huge fan of dampers, I decided to give bannocks a go, and I got hooked up by them. I sometimes fry some bacon and add them to the mixture before I knead it, and once out of the pan ... delicious !

Perhaps it's a dumb question, but what is the difference between this and pancakes?

"You can use oil, but I like using ghee, because it gives it a nice buttery flavor."

[hoz49]

I use bisquik or any other "baking mix". We also always bake bannock over a woodfire. Ever been to Moose Factory and seen they way the Missinaibi Cree bake bannock over a fire using oval shaped sticks?

Nice Video

You can also use olive oil, it's healthier.

looks like you made a pancake. I would eat that in a heartbeat..

[paracordjunky]

I'll have to try this one at home first. Looks like it makes a great trail meal.
