Has anyone heard any good outdoor recipes lately? Martin gave a lovely one for mushroooms under the fungi thread. I recently made some hardtack but that's more of a practicle food. It's quite easy to make
You will need
Plain flour
Some water
salt (optional)
A flour covered chpping board
Rolling pin (optional)
A knife
And an oven (of course)
1. You get one cup of flour and one 1/4 -1/2 cup of water and mix it into a dry dough.
2. Add your optional pinch of salt to the mix
3. Now knead (or roll) out your mix on to the chopping board to about 1/3 of inch thick (1cm) although you can experiment with thickness.
4. Cut out your hard tack biscuits. You are aiming for something around the size of a chocolate bourbon. This size is the easiest to eat.
5. Now use you fork and prick hole all over both sides of the biscuit.
6. Place evenly on baking tray and put in oven preheated to 190 c. (375 f )
7. Leave for 30 minutes and then flip the biscuits over and put back in oven.
8. 30 minutes later and the biscuits are golden brown and you are done leave the biscuits out for a while to cool and then put into a biscuit tin for a handy trail food. Or if you can't wait eat them all before they've even cooled. ;)
And there you go a handy trail food. But I must point out that this isn't gourmet dining, the biscuit is pretty flavourless and very hard. But because of the hardness it means it can be stored from 1-4 years if made properly. But be careful when eating, try and chew it with your molars. Anyway I hope that was interesting to someone.:D And if you know any camping recipes please share them. I'm always interested in food. ;)
