Is Bannock a Canadian food?
It is eaten in most regions of the country, so yes, I would say it is Canadian.It is a quick round bread that is usually fried and when cut in wedges it is called scones.This food has been traced back to the Indigenous Indians and is made from flour, water and baking powder. It was brought to the Indians from the Scottish people. Settlers did make this type of bread on the trail.
I decided to try to make bannock as I have eaten it before. It is a quick bread that you can make on your stove and not heat your house up. It is tasty and filling. I decided to add spices and raisins to mine.
Cinnamon Raisin Bannock
recipe adapted from Allrecipes.com
3 cups flour ( 1 used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups white)
1 tsp salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup butter melted
1.5 cup water
raisin ( I didn't measure, just threw some in)
oil to fry (I used coconut oil)
In large bowl add flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add and butter and stir with fork until makes a ball. Add raisins and mix until combined. Place ball on lightly floured surface and knead gently about 10 times. Break dough into about 12 pieces and flatten into circles that are about 1/4 -1/2 inch thick.
Heat oil in frying pan, over medium heat, fry bread until golden brown. It took about 4 -5 minutes each side.
You can also bake these in the oven at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
