Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups white lily flour self-rising
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 16oz. sour cream
water - as needed to make dough
Powdered sugar or jam for topping

Steps:

  • Mix together all dry ingredients. Add sour cream to the dry ingredients. Add enough water to make a dough. Let rise about 1/2 hr. Pull off pieces of dough. Roll in flour, make a ball and then flatten. Fry in oil until golden brown. top and serve warm

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best-tasting bannock bread. Look for flour that is finely milled and free of impurities. Use fresh milk and eggs, and unsalted butter for the best flavor.
  • Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly. This will help to ensure that the bannock bread is evenly textured and has a consistent flavor. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients gradually. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too wet and sticky. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients a little at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bannock bread tough and dense. Mix the dough just until it is well combined and no dry spots remain.
  • Let the dough rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the dough to absorb the liquid and relax, making it easier to work with and shape.
  • Cook the bannock bread over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning. Cook the bread for about 10 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the bannock bread warm or at room temperature. Bannock bread is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
