That sounds yummy, LED. This was was bland but easy. I usually use brown sugar when we make it from scratch but honey would be really nice. Nuts are great too. They really bulk it up.

Haha. I never thought of using Bisquick until a few weeks ago when a fellow Scouter let Mr in on the Bisquick secret. So much easier than measuring out flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, milk powder, egg powder, honey....

i hope to post a "how too" at Youtube at some point.


I think we're going to try a little milk powdered next time too, Canoe dogs. Thanks for the water tip.'i never would have thought of that but it makes sense. Can't wait for the video.

Until Canoedogs gets his video up, here are a couple to get your taste buds working:

if you use self rising flour, no additional leavening agents, salt, sugar, canola oil you get a more dense bread... yours looks better than mine....

Dense is good too, Les. It would probably pack better for travel that way. This one was a little crumbly and would have been smashed in the pack.

I hadn't thought of self-rising flour. Thanks for the tip!

I prefer a more traditional bannock recipe as it does not crumble as much as Bisquick which makes it easier for packing. However your bannock looks great and it is a good time saver if required.

In summer, nothing beats fresh wild blueberry or huckleberry enhanced bannock. Also if you take a small container of real maple syrup for dipping, it is that much better...

Bannock.... Sounds like it should have been the name of aTV series in the "70s

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Geez, look what this turned in to!

OK, I'm going to have to try this at some point. Probably in my firepit one night in the backyard (or three or four times, I'm a really crummy cook). Sounds promising! Thanks for posting and getting some ideas into this thick skull.
