Hi Katie...you bet.....<br><br>I use a stone ground whole wheat flour but you can use whatever you want. <br>1 cup of flour<br>1 tsp of baking powder&nbsp; (I use Rumford or any that has no aluminum)<br>1/4 tsp salt<br><br>Mix dry ....add cold water to make a stiff dough.<br><br>I make into burger size patties about 1/2 inch thick.<br><br>cook over med low heat...cast iron works nice but i have not been carrying any.....I may start to carry&nbsp; a small cast iron skillet though in place of my no stick.<br><br>Some folks make a rope of the dough and wrap it around a stick...making sure it isn't creosote bush..;^O&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and cook it over a wood fire.<br><br>essentially anything you come up with along those lines can be called bannock.<br><br>Googling it is fun to see where it's roots are, etc.<br>Yum,,,,<br>Enjoy<br>bri<br><br>
