Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.75 cups milk (or water for a dairy-free option)
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk (or water for a dairy-free option). Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times, just until it forms a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into a disc about 1-inch thick.

Step 6

Place the disc onto the prepared baking sheet. Score the top of the dough lightly with a sharp knife to create 6 equal wedges, but do not cut all the way through.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bannock is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, plain, or with butter, jam, or honey.
