Bannock Bread Recipe

Angel Buff January 24, 2018 0 Comments

Bannock is an easy-to-make and extremely versatile bread.

Ingredients (1 serving size):
1 cup flour
1/2 cup water, add slowly/not all at once
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 to 1/4 tsp salt (modify according to your taste)
1/2 tsp sugar (modify according to your taste)
(fruit of your choice is optional)

Mix dry ingredients. Add water until dough is the consistency of a biscuit dough.

Place in covered fire-safe (greased/oiled) cooking pot, and place over fire. Bake approximately 30 minutes over fire.

Alternately you could cook on the stove-top (in a greased pan) over medium heat for about 10 minutes each side, or you could bake in an oven, preheated to 400 degrees F approximately 20 minutes.

Sera found Daniel Tiger's recipe for banana bread. So guess what we made.

Super easy, plus it was nice spending time with her in the kitchen, teaching her to cook.

The Best Fried Okra (and Peppers)

Angel Buff September 19, 2012 1 Comments

We don’t fry a lot of food in our house, but okra is just one of those things you want fried every now and again. I came up with this recipe recently, while experimenting and trying to change up the usual, and, I will have to say, this is now my favorite way to have fried okra. And even my husband, who isn’t the biggest fan of okra, really likes it.

Ingredients (sorry, “my country measurements” are listed, but these should be adjusted anyway to personal taste preferences):
*Okra (approximately 1 ½ cups chopped)
*Banana Pepper (2/medium)
*Cayenne Pepper (1/average)
*Cornmeal (approximately 1 cup)
*[A couple of pinches of] Kosher Salt
*[A dash of] Black Pepper
*[A dash of] Paprika

Cut the okra and peppers into thin slices. Rinse and blot/dry the okra. Mix together the cornmeal, salt, black pepper and paprika. Add in the okra and pepper slices and mix until fully coated.

Preheat some vegetable oil in a pan at a medium-high heat (I prefer to fry okra in a cast-iron skillet, but you can use whatever you feel more comfortable with). Slowly add in your okra mixture, be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flip/stir occasionally, giving time for the batter to crisp. Cook until golden brown.
