INSTRUCTIONS

SERVES 6  The black frying pan went on the trail as one of the main
pieces of  cooking equipment. It worked well over the fire for regular
cooking,  and, since you did not have an oven, it also had to act as a
baking  device. The pan was filled with dough, then it was moved about
the  fire and angled in such a way that the bread finally baked.  You
and I can do this easy recipe in an oven. But don't serve it  without
remembering how hard times were on the Oregon Trail.  Mix all the dry
ingredients together and then cut in the shortening.  On the trail,
they would have used a fork to do this, but I prefer to  use a pastry
blender. Cut in the shortening until the mixture has a  fine, grainy
appearance. Stir in the milk. Knead the dough a few  times and push it
into a greased black frying pan. Bake in a 400ø  oven for about 35
minutes, or until the loaf is browned and light in  weight.  From <The
