Hello guys(GALS) Bannock is trappers bread.Here in Quebec most of the Woodsman and trappers know how to cook some.Here is the recipe.

2 cups flour
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup water

cut shortening into flour and baking powder add salt and blend in water,let rest and form into desired shape and cook it.

We used to do those in Australia and call them "dough boys". If you wrap the bread so it is touching it slides off the stick when done and has a tube down the middle. if you wrapped over the end of the stick it makes a great pouch to pour honey or jelly or just about anything you want into it.
Looks like a great day out. i think I will head out for some time in the woods myself today.

in aussie we call it damper. even simpler recipe.

*self raising flour or plain flour with baking soda.
*pinch of salt
*water, or milk, or beer. (beer is good, acts as a levener)

mix together to a dough. minimal kneading.
though it straight in the coals and cover, or
place in a floured camp oven and cover in coals, or
cook on a stick as shown earlier with the bannock.
the best with butter and golden syrup!!

should turn out like this

Looks like a good day my friend.I'll keep your recipe for bannock in my file for later.

Any luck on finding a big bull for this season yet?Obviously they haven't any antlers now...maybe sheds?

Guyzer, Do you have a twin brother that lives in North Pole AK.  Looked at your pic before looking at your location, I thought you were one of my friends from AK.  Showed the pic to my wife and she said, "Hey that's Robbie."  Scary look alike.
