How to Make Ash Cakes - A Primitive and Bushcraft Bread or Preppers Food

[@GoannaEarthskills]

Great vid Donny. In Australia we roll it into a long sausage like shape, wrap it around a stick and roast them over the fire which leaves a nice crust with a soft light centre we call damper. Very traditional Aussie food that was very commonly made by swagmen in the Great Depression. Have a good one!

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Thanks Tom. I have see the dough on the stick before. Smart idea for sure without a doubt. A way not THE way is what I always say. Just make it your own! Cheers brother!

[@Morhgoz]

We do similar but as sweat bread on fire around stick to have with coffee.

[@ActionMattGreen]

I have been wondering for a while if there was an easy to make camp bread. Thank you again for a dip into the mind of the informed.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@David-vb9ou]

My daughter wanted to make some, we can't build a fire where we live so we made some and cooked them on the stove. Turned out pretty good.

[@napoleonbonerfart278]

Hell yeah!

[@wichitamountainmen2976]

Y’all you won’t regret watching this guys channel it’s amazing!!!

[@aaronworkgrierson1470]

He's right. I came across these as "journey cakes" or "jonny cakes". People carried them on adventures all throughout history, in one form or another. They're light weight, they're filling, they last forever, and they're super cheap to make. You can make them as simple or fancy as you want. I've used them during hard times and a little goes a long way. I've accidently filled up a whole skillet before and ate on it for like two days, breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a great thing to know how to do. That's the funny thing about survival skills. Even if you're not in a survival situation, just knowing a few things can make everyday life more comfortable or less expensive. Y'all, try making it with oatmeal instead of flour too. Try tossing some eggs or green beans and diced onion in there. It's good.

[@Morhgoz]

Heck, I have done similar bread in me flat when I was bit broke and only had like flour and salt in cupboard using frying pan at medium heat.

[@barnaclebill1615]

This seems so AWESOME! Never thought I’d enjoy rendered duck fat! Excellent video thanks! 👍👍😁🇺🇸

[@markbrandli]

Many years ago I was taught to take my flour in a wide mouth bag ... make a "well" in the flour , put in a pinchof salt and about a tablespoon of water and mix ... it comes out right everytime.

[@jaxn66]

Like it man! Nothing like making a hot treat in the winter wilderness.

[@Brykk]

Good video. I like to do basically the same thing except i put a rock in the fire to warm up and just cook the cake on the rock. I also like to add dry fruits or nuts to them as my twist for flavor.

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Love Ash cakes. So simple. Thats the best Ash cake film I've seen . Nice one fella 👍 Atb Rick n Billydog

[@Pay-No-Mind]

That's got to be a great way to get calories in a hurry!. Thank you for another awesome and informative video mate, love the content.

[@GefestTheGod]

Thank you so much Mr. Donny, this content is truly awesome!

[@__-pl3jg]

Thx for sharing Donny. I've never tried my Bannock with duck fat before! I've used the following basic recipe for years...Hard to believe but bread is one of the things I most look forward to when hiking. 1 cup flour (white or a mixture of white and whole wheat) 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 cup dry milk powder add fat of choice when mixing to cook. Optional - Add berries or nuts you collect while hiking. Beauty Berry (Americana Calicarpa), mulberry, black berry ect. This recipe actually rises a small amount if left alone for 30min before cooking (Hard to do when you're hungry)

[@michaeldixon908]

Great, useful content. Well done lad

[@dannymatthews6365]

Damn it! Now I’m hungry. Thanks Donnie!

The Freudian Slip combo @ 1:26 was funny. May I ad lib? We do "Dabs" at 7,000' and drop into the spirit world.

[@YllwNinja82]

garlic powder and dill is a great combo for biscuits

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

DwayneTheBushcrafter trying it on my next batch.

[@YllwNinja82]

Cool! I used to make tea biscuits when I was a baker and Garlic and Dill were really good, you add the same amount as you would salt, so if it was 1tsp(teaspoon) of salt you would add 1tsp of garlic powder and 1tsp of Dill! @@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks

[@jeffnotti9932]

nice Donny's duck donut chips.. that does look good..

[@Bang_Camaro]

Awesome vid man

[@MERLINnecrofan]

Little things like this might not seem all that great but when you're out there in the middle of it all this little meal would be such a nice needed little break. Make ya feel more homey or safe. As much as the food is a source of energy it's also a way to keep your brain sane. Little things like this are just a nice break from it the cold and stress.

[@treerat6959]

Thanks for sharing Don good healthy foods keep you going.

[@gatecampsrus8862]

Not gunna lie, rendered duck fat was the last ingredient I would have thought haha. I’ve added small chocolate chips to mine and made a cookie! Haha.

[@briargoatkilla]

Straight up Indian fry bread, so good👍

[@zappababe8577]

You adding duck fat reminds me of how people used to eat bread and dripping! That was a go-to food to fill the bellies of the working class folk, not so long ago, in fact my mum used to eat it.

[@brysonmcsweeney]

Yea boi

[@southernbushcraft1750]

Awesome video Donny. Ive made like a bannock at home never out in the bush but i will eventually.

Nice. Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. Thanks.

[@woolf100]

Damn you where right! Just tried one and its just as good as you described it! Thanks for the tips, all love

[@woolf100]

I also added some dried pulverized stone sweet to the dough and it really fit!

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Much respect.

@@woolf100 Dried pulverized stone sweet??

I've seen you use a flat Rock before.. can you heat The Rock and place the dough on it? Kind of like making pita bread

[@ryanmcgrath339]

I thought it see hash cake at first bro lol. Great video as well bro

[@jonathanmerrell5766]

What are some survival foods you can make Bush style that are rice spaced if you have a stock pilot rice

[@Dragoninja35]

Hey Donny was just wondering if you could cook them on the hot/warm stones that you but around the fire also can you make sweet ash cakes?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Absolutely. It’s not an issue at all.

[@MrMycoo]

Great job! Could you make a video about the equipment of Ötzi the iceman? ATB, Géza

[@williamunderhill427]

Can you do a vid on rendered duck fat?

[@feralgrandad4429]

I give mine an Indian/Pakistani vibe by adding a little turmeric, kashmir chilli and garam masala powder. But never fried them........ Oh but I am going to. Oh yes indeed. Thanks for sharing.

[@No-Signal-Off-Grid]

Donny have you published your meat/nut mix recipe that you carry?

[@docv73]

If you want something that will change your life, make those with cattail pollen as your flour and slather them in duck fat!!!!!!!!

[@tamatea_]

How do you get the flour if you get stuck without any

[@gking3828]

Can I use all propose flour to make ash cakes? Thanks!

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

@@gking3828 absolutely. No issues at all.

[@gking3828]

Thank you very much

[@gunsnreelsoutdoors3796]

Would this work with making ash cakes like a fullsize Nan bread?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Guns n' Reels Outdoors I am sure it would. I have made large ash cakes before about the size on NaN Bread. This type of cooking is best for yeast free breads.

[@andydragons3151]

so it's like pita bread

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Somewhat...I’ve never made pita bread.

[@adaml7964]

What pot size is that?

[@osamabeenlacking2987]

Ohh here in the south we call them torta fritas(fried cakes) and tortillas lol 🇦🇷

[@jojosullen4490]

Put some peanut butter or jelly on it then you got a snack 👍🏼

[@levisweet979]

How many ducks did it take to fill that jar?

[@Jesuswashere616]

Is the duck fat what gave you a heart attack donny? I have lots of wild garlic near me. Garlic nans

[@WYLDRYDETV]

Ash cakes are bombbbb. IM surprised you didnt put Tajin in yours :)

[@edupinto6723]

Ok

[@Just_Chuck_It]

I love cooking on the coals. I put steak, pork, fish, poultry, potatoes, even hardy veggies like carrots, onions and garlic cloves (with skin on) and just put them right on the coals. Best way to cook if you ask me.

I like berry bears. those are the good tasting bears.

[@anuvabastidanakist2437]

Your duck fat on your ash cakes is like fried bread or dripping sandwichs which are slices of bread placed in the fat of the roast on one side and eaten or spread like butter on bread the dripping nsme comes from the fat tendering off spit roasted meat
