Baked Scone Aboriginal Bannock Recipes

BANNOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Mix all dry ingredients into a big bowl. Add water or milk and add the oil of your choice. Mix all ingredients together until the batter becomes like bread dough, not sticky.
• Put flour onto table surface then roll the dough with your fists for about 2 minutes, like making a bread dough. Pound the dough into a round ball then slowly expand the dough by making it nice and round about half inch thick and should be round like a pie plate. Make holes with a fork by poking it all around the dough from top to bottom.
• Then with your cookie sheet ready put the bannock onto cookie sheet and bake it at 375ºF until it becomes golden brown. Spread lard on the bannock when it comes out of the oven to keep it moist and delicious.

NATIVE CREE BANNOCK BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl, mix the flour and lard together by hand, and then add the baking powder, salt and the currants, raisins or sultanas.
• Next, add the water and work the ingredients into a dough.
• Now, you have two options: the camp fire or the oven.
• To cook over a camp fire, divide the dough into four lumps and firmly wrap each lump around the end of a four foot stick and prop securely over the fire until golden brown.
• To cook in an oven, spread the dough out into a 16" square cake pan.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

BANNOCK DAWGS

Steps:

• Mix the first four ingredients to make the dough.
• Roll out the dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Cut the dough to fit the wieners.
• While you are making the dawgs you can heat up the oil or lard.
• Spread the dough with mustard.
• Top with a wiener and some cheese and onions.
• Seal tightly. Make sure they are sealed really well or they will make a mess in the oil.
• Fry until golden brown.
• Note: Let these cool a bit before you eat or you WILL burn your lips!
