  3. Bannock - what recipe does this look similar to? • Combine egg with water (is using an egg), and add to the flour mixture. • Stir to form a soft dough, and knead briefly. • If using a frying pan, grease the pan then dust with flour. • Place about a quarter of the dough in the pan and heat. • Bake until the bottom is lightly brown, then flip. • Bake about 10 minutes on the opposite side. • Bake remaining dough in similar fashion. • 2 1/2 cups flour 6 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt2 tbsp sugar (optional)1/3 cup lard2 eggs, optional1 cup water or more • Combine first four ingredients. • Add lard, rubbing it in to form fine crumbs.

  6. Modern day North American Indians enjoy a bannock recipe as much as their ancestors did. • The ingredients are modernized to produce a lighter dough, but the taste is just as good, maybe better. • Bannock is a versatile quick bread, similar to a baking powder biscuit. • You can include extras such as raisins, currents, blueberries, cinnamon or cheese if desired.

  7. Bannock Trivia • Bannock was favored by nomadic tribes because the dry mixture stayed fresh for long periods. They added the fat or oil at cooking time. • Let’s watch how to make bannock • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_xC9ymx0nk
