Campfire Bread mix For the mix: 1 cup (125 grams) flour 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 grams) baking powder 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) salt 3 tablespoons (16 grams) milk powder 2 tablespoons (24 grams) sugar 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil To prepare bread 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, jam, honey, or whatever you have on hand, for serving. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, milk powder and sugar then drizzle in the oil. Cut the oil in using two knives like scissors while stirring occasionally to evenly incorporate the oil into the dry ingredients. When you are ready to make the bread, pour the mix into a small bowl and stir in about 1/4 cup of water. Add water about a teaspoon at a time until you have a thick batter. Drop your steamer in a 2 quart kettle and line the steamer with foil. Place entire biscuit mix on foil lined steamer and flatten out. add water to kettle to just below the streamer's floor level. Steam bake for 20 minutes and check for doneness. Serve when done. P.S. If you have a smaller pot to bake in then be sure and adjust the recipe volume accordingly.
