This bannock recipe is quick and delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup
flour
1 tbsp
baking powder (low sodium)
1 pinch
salt
1 cup
water
1 tbsp
vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Preparation time: 5 minutes 

Cooking time: 20 minutes 

Food safety tips:

  • Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.   
  • Clean all countertops and equipment used for food preparation.   
  • Use separate equipment for handling raw food and cooked food. 
  • Do not eat raw dough or batter as it may contain bacteria that could cause you to become sick. 

Preparation 

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, a little baking powder, and a pinch of salt. 
  • Slowly add water while stirring. The dough should be thick, similar to pancake batter. 
  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan (about 1/4 inch). 
  • Carefully drop small spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil. 
  • Fry gently, turning once, until each piece is golden brown and cooked through. This usually takes a few minutes per side, depending on the size. 
  • Remove the bannock and place it on a paper towel or clean cloth to drain.
