I am always looking for ways to make a bread or biscuits in my truck but it ain't easy. I have tried a number of ingenious schemes all of which seemed to burn the bread on the bottom and leave the top un-browned. Biscuits just aren't right when you have to flip them over halfway and usually turn out more like hockey pucks. I have bought a few things that promised success but the only success was to thin my wallet.
Now I am trying bannock and it looks like it might be an easy solution that I have overlooked before. The secret seems to be to cook it at a low enough temperature that it won't burn but hot enough to bake through. I am cooking it on an induction plate in my truck in a carbon steel pan. It is quite good and there must be 100 different iterations of the recipe.
I am new at this and my recipe is dead simple until I achieve some consistency. I am using a cup of flour, a tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, some oil-soon to be replaced by ghee-and a scant 1/2 cup of water. I'll tweak it until I get it right then go from there. If you have a favorite recipe or technique I would like to hear about it. I'm thinking that sausage gravy over a crumbled buttermilk bannock might make a damned fine camping breakfast.
