How to Make Metis Bannock

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the chilled, cubed margarine using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball, then place it on a lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten the ball into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bannock is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings such as jam, honey, or butter.
