The story behind

Bannock has a fascinating history that bridges Scottish tradition with the cultures of the First Nations of North America. It was originally a simple bread made from local grains (like oats or barley), but over time it was adapted to use wheat flour, becoming a staple of survival and home cooking in regions like Canada. It is valued for its simplicity and the comfort it provides when eaten fresh.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. 2
    Add the liquid (and butter if using) and mix until a soft dough forms; do not over-knead.
  3. 3
    Roll the dough out on a floured surface and shape into a thick circle.
  4. 4
    Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped lightly.
  5. 5
    Serve warm, split in half, with plenty of butter and your favorite jam.
