Bannock Biscuits Food

METIS BANNOCK

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.

IRISH BANNOCK

Steps:

• 1. Preheated oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside.
• 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture with pastry cutter. Add buttermilk until dough is soft. Stir in currants and raisins.
• 3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Form dough into a 7 inch round. Place on prepared baking sheet (or you can use an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan, greased). Using a sharp knife, score a 1/2 inch deep cross on the top. This allows the loaf to expand.
• 4. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm with butter or jam.
