Thunder Bay Rush Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) If you're from Canada, (or, as I've heard them say in Arkansas, "Canadia")... you've probably at least heard of bannock. But, has anyone ever tried it? Great at the campfire, or with eggs in the morning. Try this - (enough for four people.) 1 cup of flour, 2 tsp baking power, pinch of salt and enough water to make a sticky dough. Mix it all up, then use your hands and flatten it out so it's about 3/4 of an inch thick. Should be about 8 or 9 inches in diameter if you use the amounts above. Then fry it in canola (or veg) oil at medium high heat. It'll rise up and be cooked fast... 2 minutes per side, maybe less. Turn once. For crise-sake, Don't use olive oil... Eat it right away with butter... or, jam. You can add raisins, blueberries, dried cranberries, nuts... whatever the hell you want. It's not exactly a low fat thing, but who gives a shit sometimes, eh? Edited March 27, 2016 by Thunder Bay Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Never heard of it so I googled. The pics make it look really interesting. Visually it looks like a pancake/cornbread/biscuit hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 We've been making them in Scotland since the 11th century True... the Scottish brought bannock to North America and soon after the aboriginals started making it. Now they consider it as one of their traditional foods. Hard to beat "Kookam's" bannock. Kookam is grandma in Ojibwe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
