Bannock (pan bread)

'

This is an old standby recipe used by Boy and Girl scouts to make bread while out camping.  It is very simple to make but also very tasty, also used by early pioneers; it is similar to Indian fry bread.  Indian fry bread traditionally is made with a yeast dough; this recipe does not use yeast.
