Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp dry milk
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1/4 c to 1/2 cup water, enough to make a soft dough

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together dry ingredients. Blend in oil with dough blender or a couple of forks. (a dough blender is the little gadget one uses to "cream" shortning into flour as in making pie crust) or one can use forks. A dough blender is a lot easier. Add water and stir to make dough. Place dough in a dutch oven. Place on coals and watch it carefully or bannock might burn. Unless one really wants a dough god out on the trail the better baking method is in a well greased cast iron skillet in a 350 degree oven. Another cooking method: wrap dough around green willow stick and cook over coals turning often to make a "dough god".
  • 2. Um...maybe we aught to make it clear that the wet ingredients go in just before the baking process not when one is putting the dry ingredients together at home.
