I was born in Ontario but I grew up in Whitehorse! The north is in my soul! I'm a Yukon girl by heart... All the way! The mountains, the culture, the history, the scenery, the long drives, the exploring, how easily I used to be able to escape to the bush. I miss it! One thing that always brings me home and makes me feel better is this... BANNOCK! Mmmm... A recipe I learned when I was 11 in Southern Tutchone class at Whitehorse Elementary. Good times! Although I'm sad to say I don't remember much of the language. If you don't use it you lose it. But these bisquits snacks are awesome. Easy to make. Make them to taste. If you like a sweeter flavour, just add more sugar. They're good with jam but I love mine warm with some butter or sometimes just plain. Excellent with tea.
There's some other flavours I'd like to experiment with these... I post my results later on. I hope you enjoy!
Bannock
4 cups of flour 2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of salt Approximately 3 cups of cold water
Heat oil in a metal or cast iron frying pan at med-high heat.
Mix all dry ingredients, slowly add the water till the dough is sticky
**You
want the dough to be sticky, not crumbly.
Scoop dough into the heated oil and when the sides start to brown, flip over the bannock.
Bannock can burn quickly, do not leave it
unattended!!!!!
Transfer to a pan lined with paper towel to cool.
And.... VOILA!
