Bannock
/Makes: 8 to 12 bannocks
INGREDIENTS
- Vegetable oil
- 4 cups unbleached flour
- 3 tbsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 to 3 cups cold water as needed
METHOD
Heat enough vegetable oil to reach 1/4-inch depth in a frying pan over medium heat.
Sift together dry ingredients. Stir in enough water to form sticky dough.
