Bannock

This is an adopted recipe. The original introduction stated "Bannock is a Native Indian fry bread. Simple and quick to make. This recipe comes from a magazine article. The woman who taught the author of the article to make bannock said that "rich Indians add raisins to their bannock"."

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Directions

1. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
2. Mix with enough water so that the mixture becomes a dough.
3. Form into 4-6 large, thick patties.
4. Fry on lightly oiled frying pan, turning when the bottom is golden.
5. (You may also bake in the oven.) Good served warm.
6. If desired, spread with honey, jam, butter, or peanut butter.
7. Traditionally bannock would have been made with whatever ingredients were on hand.
8. For example, adding blueberries if they're in season.
9. This freezes well. Freeze, already baked, in a labeled ziploc bag with the air squeezed out as much as possible.
