Bannock ~ Lord of the Rings

 They taste like very dense biscuits.

This is what Hobbits would make while traveling. They are quite dense and filling and you do not need to give them time to rise. Which is convenient  while on an adventure. They can be cooked over an open fire in the outdoors or in an oven. (If you happen to find a comfy bed to sleep in.) They scorch easily when pan cooking but if you ladle meat gravy over them, your mates will never know.

You will need:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups water
(optional) add a cup of dried fruits or nuts for a different flavor

Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir. 




Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 10 minutes for each side. 

Use a spatula for turning.




  1. Can you make these without butter or oil? Thanks!

  2. Sure can! Applesauce's or any fruit purees are a good substitute.
