Here’s a super easy classic bannock recipe — cozy, forgiving, and perfect with butter or jam 😌
Simple Bannock (Pan or Campfire Style)
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp oil, melted butter, or lard
~¾ cup water or milk (add slowly)
Instructions
Mix dry stuff
In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add fat + liquid
Mix in oil/butter, then slowly add water or milk until you get a soft, not-sticky dough.
Shape it
Pat into a flat round about 1–1½ inches thick.
Cook it
Pan: Heat a lightly oiled skillet on medium-low. Cook 10–15 min per side until golden and cooked through.
Oven: Bake at 375°F / 190°C for ~30 minutes.
Campfire: Wrap around a stick or cook in a pan over coals, turning often.
Rest & eat
Let it cool a bit (if you can wait). Slather with butter, honey, jam, or dip in stew.
Easy Variations
Sweet: add 1–2 tbsp sugar + handful of berries or raisins
Savory: add herbs, garlic powder, or shredded cheese
Extra fluffy: use milk instead of water
If you want traditional Indigenous-style, fried vs baked, or campfire-only bannock, tell me your vibe and I’ll tweak it 👌
