3cupsflour, or half and half whole wheat and white flour
1teaspoonsalt
1tablespoonbaking powder
1/2cupoil, or olive oil
1cupwater, or milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Mix all dry ingredients into a big bowl. Add water or milk and add the oil of your choice. Mix all ingredients together until the batter becomes like bread dough, not sticky.
Put flour onto table surface then roll the dough with your fists for about 2 minutes, like making a bread dough. Pound the dough into a round ball then slowly expand the dough by making it nice and round about half inch thick and should be round like a pie plate. Make holes with a fork by poking it all around the dough from top to bottom.
Then with your cookie sheet ready put the bannock onto cookie sheet and bake it at 375ºF until it becomes golden brown. Spread lard on the bannock when it comes out of the oven to keep it moist and delicious.
Notes
Please noteThe recipe calls for 1 cup water or milk. That is an approximate measurement. If your dough is too dry (won't hold together) add a touch more water or milk, just a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is the proper consistency.A few things can impact the consistency of the dough including the amount of humidity in the air on the day you are baking.
