The team from Rambling On are back for another Happy Hour in the Camp Kitchen and this time they have a special guest explaining how Rottnest Island and tinned pineapple have a story to tell.

450g Self-raising flour

1/4tsp salt

180ml milk

1tsp caster sugar

80g chilled butter cut into cubes

Method

Mix flour, salt & sugar together in a bowl.

Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it looks like fine breadcrumbs.

Add milk slowly and mix to form a dough.

Knead lightly on a floured board until smooth.  Shape into a round loaf, brush with milk and cut a cross into the top surface of the dough.

Grease a large sheet of foil and wrap the dough.

Place on the coals of the BBQ and let it bake for about 30minutes, or in a camp oven with coals under and on the lid.

Paula’s top tip: To test if it’s done, tap on the loaf and it should sound hollow.  Cut into thick slices and serve while still warm.  Serve with butter and Golden syrup or your favorite jam.

Timbo – Cool for Cats – UK Squeeze

The Rambling On crew jump into the podcasting caravan to talk about the essential features of a quality caravan park and why you should always carry a paper map.

Paula Gardner shares her recipe for Thai stir-fry. She reckons it’s great but Tim wasn’t so sure… Here’s the recipe!

1 chopped onion

1. Fry the onion until soft, add the curry paste and stir through.

Paula’s top tip: Save time by pre-chopping the veggies and storing in ziplock bags in the fridge or freezer.

Each show, the crew share their favourite A-Z of driving songs. This episode, it was songs starting with ‘B’.
