A simple and quick version of traditional Bannock, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 3/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) in a large bowl until combined.
  2. Incorporate the vegetable oil or melted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Slowly pour in the water while mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about a minute until smooth.
  5. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes to allow gluten to relax.
  6. Cut the dough into six equal portions and flatten each into a disc about half an inch thick.
  7. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
  8. Carefully place the dough discs into the skillet, frying each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Remove the Bannock from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
  10. Serve warm topped with honey, jam, or savory options like chili or beans.

Notes

Ensure oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy exterior. Experiment with spices or herbs for added flavor.
