Recipe - Fraser Canyon Bannock

1 cup Flour
1 cup Whole wheat flour
One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Baking powder
2 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Lard
2/3 cup Water

Mix together dry ingredients; cut in lard with a pastry blender until
mixture resembles fine crumbs. Sprikle water over pastry, a little at a
time, stirring with a fork until mixture forms a soft dough. Turn dough out
onto a light floured board. Knead about 10 times. Roll out to One half inch
thick circle; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 1015
minutes until golden. Cut in wedges and serve hot with butter.

** This is the city slicker method, now on to the "native" method, the one
that native Indians used long before the white man came to the Caribou.*

Same ingredients. Put in bowl and mix with hands until thoroughly
combined. Work with dough until it feels soft and satiny, about 35
minutes. Take handful of dough and pat between palms until you get a
saucer sized form. Wrap around sturdy stick and cook over open camp fire
until golden brown. Can be eaten alone, broken in pieces and buttered and
jammed, or if you want to get fancy, stuff with cooked ground beef mixture.
The best way to eat it is at night when the kids have gone to bed, and you
are sitting around the campfire swapping horror stories. Eat it plain, it
is fantastic.
