Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 4 tbsp Water
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • Any extras you'd like (chocolate, nuts, fruits)

Instructions
 

  • Make sure the fire has burned long enough that you have hot coals/white ashes to lay the cakes on.
  • Mix all ingredients in a small container until you've formed a dough ball.
  • If you're adding extras, make a well in the middle of the dough and place the extras inside.
  • Close all the extras inside the dough so they don't spill out and make into a patty of sorts.
  • Lay patty on hot coals/white ashes for about four minutes or until browned then flip.
  • Cook the other side for another four minutes or until browned.
  • Carefully removed cakes from coals and let cool.
  • Enjoy!
