Bannock
Recipe
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons oil
About 1 1/2 cups water
Mix ingredients and add water. Knead approximately 10 minutes by
hand or 5 minutes in a mixer. You can add cinnamon and brown
sugar to the dough or sprinkle it on after it's cooked. Pat the
dough into very flat pancakes, less than a 1/4 inch thick. Add
about a 1/4 inch of oil into a frying pan. Heat up and place
dough into frying pan. Let bottom get golden brown and air
bubbles form on top. Flip over and cook the other side. Remove
from pan and serve plain or sprinkle on a mixture of brown sugar
and cinnamon.
Served plain you can eat them with stew, spaghetti, chili, etc. Thanks
Kansas for this recipe Jim likes those bread sticks that
come with pizza so I am going to make this banock. I think it
will be very similar to the bread sticks. I will add some grated
cheddar to the dough when I knead it.

Beat 3 eggs in large bowl Gradually add 2 cups of sugar and beat until thick and lemon colored. Add 3/4 cup of vegetable oil or 3/4 cup of applesauce whichever you desire and beat well.

Put in 2 loaf pans or one bundt pan or one oblong cake pan if you are making it for a birthday cake. Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350 oven. I just made this with no nuts but a whole cup of raisins and 1 tsp. ground ginger. I just can't seem to follow a recipe, I always have to change something. Apple sauce is better than oil if you have it..
