How to Make Bannock
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Add 1 cup milk (or water for a leaner version) and 1/4 cup melted shortening (or butter). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Optional: Stir in 1/2 cup raisins.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot (a small piece of dough should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Consider adding honey or maple syrup.
