Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Butter or vegan butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 quarters of a cup Milk or non-dairy milk
- 0.25 cup Add-ins (optional, e.g., dried herbs, shredded cheese, or raisins)
- 2 tablespoons Oil or butter (for cooking, if frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly stir in the milk, a little at a time, mixing gently with a fork or spatula. The dough should come together but remain slightly sticky. Avoid overmixing.
If using any optional add-ins (like herbs, cheese, or raisins), fold them into the dough at this stage.
Gather the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disc, around 1 inch thick. You can either fry or bake the bannock, based on your preference.
To fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dough disc in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.
To bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the dough disc on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bannock from heat or oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Enjoy warm with butter, jam, soup, or a cup of tea!
