Guest oneshot Report post Posted June 29, 2014 I've been testing different recipes using mesquite flour, last nights treat was "apples johnathan", yes it is goood... bannock just seemed to scream "add mesq. flour!!!" Boy-Scouts and folks from Canada and the northern states know of bannock... in camp you can bring the mixed dry ingrdents with you, add water/oil on site and just wrap dough around a green stick and hold over the fire to cook... Mesquite Bannock: this recipe makes about 12 5inch across cakes... 2 1/2 cups reg. flour 1/2 cup mesquite flour 2 tablespoons of baking powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup melted butter Mix dry ingredients large bowl Make a pocket in the the center of the the dry mix and add water/butter mixture Stir gently untill just blended About two big soup-spoon sized portions per bannock cake is about right, press flat about 3/4-1inch thick (you will prob have to dampen fingers to press flat, this stuff is sticky)... You can either fry in a well greased pan, 15mins per side Ilike to bake them, less mess, Bake on well greased sheet-pan at 350 for 25-30mins Todays Bannock had alittle cinnimon and instant coffee added to the dry ingredents and they turned out Excellent.... you can subsitute any oil for the butter, olive oil, peanut oil, lard, berries, raisins, etc can be added,... Top with butter, honey, jam, syrup, gravy or whatever you like... Press cakes flater and add smoked salmon or cooked meats, then fold over and cook as normal...

Guest oneshot Report post Posted June 29, 2014 Amanda, the old saying is, the Indian name for bannock is "when there is nothing left to eat", as just flour, salt and lard/oil are all thats really needed to make it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
