Best Metis Bannock Recipes

QUICK AND EASY METIS BANNOCK BISCUIT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder with a wire whisk.
• Cut in the softened butter with a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine peas.
• Add the water, and with a fork mix until the dough rolls up into a complete ball.
• Pull off pieces of the dough and make soft biscuit type mounds. Place them in the bottom of an electric frying pan.
• Cover the pan with the lid and set the heat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Set a timer to 8 minutes.
• When the timer goes off, flip the bannock biscuits over. Cover and set the timer for another 8 minutes.
• Now they are ready to serve up with butter, jam, or your other favorite topping. Great for serving with soups and stews also.

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• Work in the margarine using hands until you make a nice crumble. If you have Olivina margarine in your area, I find this makes for the best bannock.
• Gradually mix in enough milk to make soft but not sticky. Knead.
• Shape into a ball, place on a greased baking sheet, then flatten into a circle about 1 inch thick.
• Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
