[philmont] Pound Cake and Cherries

Steve,
You could have googled that!

Bannock
3 C. white flour 3 tbs. milk
1 tbs. baking powder 2 tbs. melted butter
1 cup sugar (our modification)
Mix thoroughly and add water to make medium dough - not watery. Drop dough into 2
greased frying pans and set the pans near the fire for 20 minutes, so dough will rise. Now fry
the batch slowly, about 10 minutes. Next prop the frying pans near the fire, so that it will
bake by reflection. When bannock is golden brown, it should be done. Brown sugar or raisins
are excellent in bannock. Test by sticking sliver of wood in dough. If done, sliver is clean, if
not, sliver is sticky.
 
Does that look right, John?
 
Thanks,
Sam Taylor

If you used the old Sommers recipe for bannock, three days on the trail wouldn't damage it at all. In fact, you'd need an old Ranger Axe to cut the stuff.

With the on-again, off-again fire restrictions, one could never count on their being able to use their newly learned sklls.

Without the three day "ranger carry" the poundcake would not have its distinctive"trail hardened" quality.
