Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.75 cups milk (or water for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk (or water for a dairy-free option). Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times, just until it forms a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into a disc about 1-inch thick.
Place the disc onto the prepared baking sheet. Score the top of the dough lightly with a sharp knife to create 6 equal wedges, but do not cut all the way through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bannock is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, plain, or with butter, jam, or honey.
