Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil (for frying, if skillet cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the water and vegetable oil (or melted butter).

Step 3

Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes, just until smooth and not sticky. Do not over-knead.

Step 5

For skillet cooking: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and flatten each portion into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the flattened discs to the skillet, working in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

For baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the entire dough into a greased baking dish or cast-iron skillet, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bannock is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bannock to cool slightly before serving. It can be sliced into wedges for individual servings.
