ST. MICHAEL'S BANNOCK 1



St. Michael's Bannock 1 image

St Michael's major feast day is September 29th, now joined with the other archangels. I've just been reading up on St Michael and found out that there is a traditional 'bannock', or flat bread made with barley and oats. This version has the number 1 in the title because there is another that is a bit different. This bannock is of Irish origin and is used by the English on the feast also. I found this recipe online at a site called 'Which Day'

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-7 breads, 4-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup barley meal
2/3 cup oat meal
2/3 cup rye meal
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
2 1/2-3 cups milk
3 tablespoons honey or 3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup raisins (optional) or 1/4 cup sultana (optional)
2 eggs
1 cup cream
4 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Mix barley meal, oatmeal, rye meal, flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt together well in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the milk, honey or sugar, and the fruit.
  • Turn the mixture out onto a well-floured board and knead just long enough to make a soft dough. Add more flour or milk, if required to get the consistency right.
  • Roll the dough into a circle about 20-23cm (8-9″) in diameter and 1-2cm (½-¾″) thick. ( They can be made smaller to be handled better) Wrap lightly in waxed paper and leave to rise for about 20 minutes in a warm place.
  • Mix together the eggs, cream, and melted butter. Heat a griddle or a large frying pan and grease it lightly.
  • Unwrap the dough. Paint one surface of the bannock with the egg mixture, and place the bannock with the painted side on the griddle.
  • Cook over a moderate heat until brown.
  • Paint the upper surface of the bannock with the egg mixture. Flip over and cook the other side.
  • Keep turning it over and painting the bannock until each side has been painted and cooked three times, when it is ready to serve.
  • St Michael's Bannock is good either served plain or spread with butter and honey.
