Here’s a simple, classic bannock recipe you can make at home:

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat, or a mix)

1 Tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter, lard, or oil (optional for richness)

¾ cup water or milk (adjust as needed)

Instructions:

Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add fat (optional): Cut in butter or stir in oil until mixture is crumbly.

Add liquid: Stir in water or milk a little at a time until dough just comes together. (It should be soft but not sticky.)

Shape: Turn onto a floured surface and gently pat into a round disk about ¾–1 inch thick.

Cook:

Frypan method: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Cook bannock 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Oven method: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
