Recipe: Griddle Bread (New Zealand)

GRIDDLE BREAD

"A New Zealand favorite for camping. I mix all the dry ingredients up in a plastic bag and take it camping. Works just fine."

2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp sugar
about 1 1/2 tbsp cold butter
1/2 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
3/4 cup milk

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl; stir in sugar. Dip a grater in the flour, then using the second coarsest serrations, grate cold butter into the flour. Add yogurt and milk and mix using a table knife. On a lightly floured surface press the mixture into circle approximately 1-inch thick and 10-inches in diameter. Cut into eight wedges.

Heat griddle or heavy pan to a moderate temperature, dust the base lightly with flour. Place dough on griddle; turn after five minutes. continue to cook, turning as necessary, until center is set. The pan may be covered to produce softer bread.

Split and butter to serve. Good Warm or cold.
