Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 6 tablespoonfuls evaporated milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. 2 level cupfuls (½ pound) flour.
  2. 2 level cupfuls (12 ounces) corn meal.
  3. 4 level teaspoonfuls RYZON.
  4. 1 level teaspoonful salt.
  5. 1 level teaspoonful sugar.
  6. 2 tablespoonfuls (1 ounce) lard or butter.
  7. 2 level tablespoonfuls egg powder.
  8. 6 tablespoonfuls evaporated milk.
  9. 1½ cupfuls (¾ pint) water.
  10. Mix flour and corn meal together, add RYZON, salt, sugar, lard or butter, melted, egg powder mixed with evaporated milk and water.
  11. Mix well and pour into a well-greased pan.
  12. Bake in a moderate oven for forty minutes.
  13. If the campers have no oven, bake same as RYZON Camp Bread.
  14. Sufficient for eight to ten persons.
