Watched video and being a huge fan of dampers, I decided to give bannocks a go, and I got hooked up by them. I sometimes fry some bacon and add them to the mixture before I knead it, and once out of the pan ... delicious !
Love your videos, man! Watching them temporarily satisfies my Algonquin cravings. By the way, if you wet your spoon a little it won't stick to the dough and will make spreading much easier!
me and my fellow camping buddies have had many zany misadventures cooking bannock out on the trail.....we havent had a lot of luck cooking with it...great video ...will try your recipe next!
@Ccoach55 Glad you enjoyed it. Now if you want to dazzle your friends and your taste buds you can make cinnamon rolls. Just put some raisins in the mix before you add the water then spread it out on something, I use my map case, nice and thin then sprinkle it with cinnamon and give it a nice coating of brown sugar. Now just go ahead and roll it all up into a log, slice it into about 3/4" pieces (like little pucks), lay them out flat on the pan and cook 'em up!
Hey great video. I've never made bannock but I wanted to so I'm going to give your recipe a try. I've also never even heard of ghee so I'll try that out too. Thanks for sharing.
Just a quick update: I made the bannock tonight and it turned out great. Added some brown sugar and cinnamon to it. The kids thought it tasted really good. Thanks again for sharing the video.
I just got back from a 5 day loop in the ADK with friends. This was definitely a tasty treat. I added 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, and dehydrated thinly sliced apple (rehydrated). The Ghee really gives it a nice crisp. Couple of tips: Use a windscreen and keep the flame low. Also mix it a bit looser if you want it to be easier to spread, thicker if you want it easier to flip (you'll see what I mean when you try to ghee it up on the second side - if it sloshes it's too loose man).
This is the basic recipe I usually use. I also often add rasins, cinnamon and brown sugar. This makes it great to eat on it's own. 1 cup flour 1 tbsp baking powder 4 tbsp powdered milk 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp oil or ghee or make sure you have a good non-stick pan (I prefer ghee for the added buttery flavor)
2 cups all purpose flour 1 Tb of baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup milk or water or 1/2 cup of each Veg,oil or lard for frying or put 1/2 cup of it in it for baking..is all you need to make bannock...remember to knead the shit out of it...don't be afraid...lol free knowledge from a real native person....
***** half a cup each....get it now thought i made it easy enough to read guess not. giving you free knowledge here.guess been grumpy comes with age huh? grandpa
This is just a note for you and your audience: Bannock is good, and you covered it well. Suggestion: I'm sure you make pancakes from time to time, and you may have never heard of, or tried this. I take camping the instant pancake mix you just add water to. So, try this once and see if you like it. Mix up your pancake mix, and add a drained can of canned sweet corn to the mix, then cook as usual for pancakes. Delicious, and is definitely an energy producing breakfast. Simple, and good. Enjoy.
I love that pot set and have had it more many years. It's the GSI Hard Anodized Extreme. I don't think they make them any more and they've been replaced by the Bugaboo set. It's basically the same but not hard anodized. Probably because not a lot of people knew what hard anodized gave them so it wasn't a big selling point. It should be though because it makes a big difference. It creates a more even boil and the non-stick surface lasts an incredibly long time.
It's ghee, which is clarified butter. I'll probably make a video the next time I make a batch. Basically, you put butter in a pot and simmer it until the milk solids separate then you separate the pure butter fat (which is the ghee). I've heard it will keep for months out of the fridge although I usually don't need it to keep more than a couple of weeks unchilled since my trips don't currently go much beyond that. I have some in the fridge from two years ago that's still good.
@MaddyTheGoose where can i find ghee, i know I work in a grocery store and we don't carry it. But I was wondering if I went to another store, what section would it be in?
I know this is old but someone else may need to know. Ghee is indian so it would be found in an Indian grocery or in the asian food section in tje grocery store.
@broadwayFan28 Thanks for watching. I can appreciate what you're saying since yes, I did cut out some of the spreading because I found it to be a bit of a yawn watching more of the same. But, in hindsight I think you're right and you'll notice in many of the newer videos I have instead sped the video up so everything is still shown but not for a long time. You don't feel like you've been duped by the ape on the camera doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff.
@WaRB1RD217 Well, it is a bread but it's non-rising so probably not like what you're thinking of if you're referring to a loaf. Non-rising breads are heavier and not as squishy. By adding lard, about 1 heaping table spoon a serving, it'll come out more like biscuits. Very tasty with ghee. It's also great for dipping. I make it at home for dipping into hummus.
I use bisquik or any other "baking mix". We also always bake bannock over a woodfire. Ever been to Moose Factory and seen they way the Missinaibi Cree bake bannock over a fire using oval shaped sticks?
I made bannock inspired by this video and it turned out ok I added cheese , it tasted a bit doughy but I didn't cook it well as could be because I was nearly out of butter
@themusic928 Be sure to use heavy- duty tin foil, or else it will just burn into the bread. A good idea is to wrap the dough with one layer, then wrap it with a wet cloth or paper towel, then another layer of tinfoil; this allows a good even bake, and you can even just throw it into the fire coals.
Ghee is clarified butter (butter melted, then you pour off the clear fats to remove the solids) You can buy it in jars, sometimes cans, in the international section of the grocery store. Ghee is the Indian or Hindu name.
What happened at 2:18? Looks like it was cut to not show how hard the spreading of the bannock is. It also looks like there is flour between your fingers - did you use your hand to spread it? If so, next time leave the "hard to do" in the "how to do"
The pan is from the GSI Hard Anodized Extreme set. Unfortunately, I believe it has been discontinued but have no idea why, it's a really great set. You can still find it around online though. I bought an extra set for when my current set wears out.
Bannock is a non rizing bread so it's pretty dense, and is good for stuff like sandwiches or using it to dip with hummus or things like that. Where as pancakes, are light and fluffy and don't hold together well.
Make your own ghee, it's just clarified butter, meaning butterfat with all the milk proteins removed. See bexarpreppers video on canning butter for a fabulous how-to on making ghee.
no way ghee! thats Punjabi butter, my parents buy that all the time from the Indian store. thats a smart idea for transporting butter without worrying if it will spoil
Naw, melted butter is still just melted butter. Ghee is when you melt the butter and remove all of the milk solids so when you're done all you have left is pure butter oil. It's also known as clarified butter. Unlike regular butter you can keep it unspoiled for months unrefrigerated so it's perfect for multi-day hiking / canoe trips.

just made some of this!!!! wow.
thanks for the tips. this is going to be a staple of camping trips from here on out.

I'll have to try this one at home first. Looks like it makes a great trail meal.

COOL DOG and great instructions
Really enjoyed the video will try making this.

I want to see you camp stove stuff and where to get it

Hi there, great video. Can I premix everything, vacuum seal it, and take it with me into the woods premixed?
Roddy Piper just dont add water, save the water right before you cook
It's ghee, which is clarified butter. I'll probably make a video the next time I make a batch. Basically, you put butter in a pot and simmer it until the milk solids separate then you separate the pure butter fat (which is the ghee). I've heard it will keep for months out of the fridge although I usually don't need it to keep more than a couple of weeks unchilled since my trips don't currently go much beyond that. I have some in the fridge from two years ago that's still good.
What was that stuff you used as butter? Does it need to be held cool?
Thanks in advance
How much baking soda do you use per flour ?
I've been using a biscuit mix which I can also make bread & pancakes too .
Your thoughts on adding: Italian seasonings, a lil extra salt and fine grated parmesian cheese. To go with dehy-spaghetti and meat sauce?
I have searched every grocery around me for Gee. What section do you find it in or do you know of a website that I may order it from?
@MaddyTheGoose where can i find ghee, i know I work in a grocery store and we don't carry it. But I was wondering if I went to another store, what section would it be in?
I know this is old but someone else may need to know. Ghee is indian so it would be found in an Indian grocery or in the asian food section in tje grocery store.
love the cinnamon roll idea! :D

does the ghee still have the butter taste?
Does ghee require refrigeration?
@WaRB1RD217 Well, it is a bread but it's non-rising so probably not like what you're thinking of if you're referring to a loaf. Non-rising breads are heavier and not as squishy. By adding lard, about 1 heaping table spoon a serving, it'll come out more like biscuits. Very tasty with ghee. It's also great for dipping. I make it at home for dipping into hummus.
will this work with an alcohol stove?
What kind of container is your ghee in?
I use bisquik or any other "baking mix". We also always bake bannock over a woodfire. Ever been to Moose Factory and seen they way the Missinaibi Cree bake bannock over a fire using oval shaped sticks?
I made bannock inspired by this video and it turned out ok I added cheese , it tasted a bit doughy but I didn't cook it well as could be because I was nearly out of butter
what kind of dog is maddy?
where is the best place to find ghee?
Perhaps it's a dumb question, but what is the difference between this and pancakes?
@themusic928 Be sure to use heavy- duty tin foil, or else it will just burn into the bread.
A good idea is to wrap the dough with one layer, then wrap it with a wet cloth or paper towel, then another layer of tinfoil; this allows a good even bake, and you can even just throw it into the fire coals.
looks like you made a pancake. I would eat that in a heartbeat..
Ghee is clarified butter (butter melted, then you pour off the clear fats to remove the solids) You can buy it in jars, sometimes cans, in the international section of the grocery store. Ghee is the Indian or Hindu name.
@daiaonu Yes, it does. Very much so.

What brand is that pan?
The pan is from the GSI Hard Anodized Extreme set. Unfortunately, I believe it has been discontinued but have no idea why, it's a really great set. You can still find it around online though. I bought an extra set for when my current set wears out.

+Wynrotar dumb ass lol
What is is food
Sir: Went to your site and didn't see the receipe. Why not just post the receipe here?
Nice Video
You can also use olive oil, it's healthier.
i fry mine in peanut oil,that sort of gives you that "State Fair" taste and smell--
Can you please do a video on how to make ghee
i make pan bread for break fast some mornings with eggs looks like you mint have burnt it a little but it happens
what if i put on tin foil instead of bringing a pan out with me
Yet one more pre mixed bannoc by Some body???
Make your own ghee, it's just clarified butter, meaning butterfat with all the milk proteins removed. See bexarpreppers video on canning butter for a fabulous how-to on making ghee.
@1400deadwood Indians also put ghee on their deceased relatives before cremation over an open fire.
ah tink show
Lol wow got some real winners posting coments here decent vid keep it up
So it's a pancake
no way ghee! thats Punjabi butter, my parents buy that all the time from the Indian store. thats a smart idea for transporting butter without worrying if it will spoil
So now we have to start calling melted butter "ghee"?
Naw, melted butter is still just melted butter. Ghee is when you melt the butter and remove all of the milk solids so when you're done all you have left is pure butter oil. It's also known as clarified butter. Unlike regular butter you can keep it unspoiled for months unrefrigerated so it's perfect for multi-day hiking / canoe trips.
Its spelled ghee.
