Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional)
• 4 tablespoons Butter or vegan butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 quarters of a cup Milk or non-dairy milk
• 0.25 cup Add-ins (optional, e.g., dried herbs, shredded cheese, or raisins)
• 2 tablespoons Oil or butter (for cooking, if frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).

Step 2

Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Slowly stir in the milk, a little at a time, mixing gently with a fork or spatula. The dough should come together but remain slightly sticky. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

If using any optional add-ins (like herbs, cheese, or raisins), fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 5

Gather the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disc, around 1 inch thick. You can either fry or bake the bannock, based on your preference.

Step 6

To fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dough disc in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.

Step 7

To bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the dough disc on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bannock from heat or oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy warm with butter, jam, soup, or a cup of tea!
