Recipe, Pancake or Some Thing- Else, Style Bannock

Bannock was not invented by any of the so called."First Nations peoples.

People were eating-first, "Hard-tack, and, eventually,Bannock, long before they emigrated to the Americas

While bannock is one type of quick-bread, it is not the only.

NOT ALL Quick-breads are bannock.

 It must always be remembered; that BANNOCK IS A LOAF OF QUICK-BREAD.

 BANNOCK IS ALWAYS A LOAF.

 Biscuits, doughnuts,
FRY-BREAD,
HARDTACK
muffins

flapjacks, PANCAKES,

 scones waffles, are not bannock.

Having no fat content, this recipe is not  a flapjack or pancake;  actually, it is more a leavened   "HARDTACK".
That is not exactly true either; because HARDTACK is never leavened; It would defeat the whole purpose.
Because it is leavened, perhaps I should say;this- conglomeration- is more like an African, or Asian "Flat-bread"
Like FIRST NATIONS style bannock, it tends to produce a soggy product; with a very tough crust (because of the over beating; but, some people actually like it.


4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
8 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 cups cold water, about

• Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly and stir in enough cold water to make a thick batter that when poured out will level out. Mix rapidly with a spoon until completely smooth. Then pour into a greased fry-pan or baking dish. Fill about one-half full.
• Bake about 45 minutes in a hot oven or cook on top of stove, turning to get both sides done. If you are doing the cooking out side it's even easier; you simply tilt the frying pan toward the fire and roast the top to a golden brown.Test by sticking a knife into the centre of bannock. If it comes out clean, the mess should be done
