hi Gil
here is my recipe
3 cups of white flour (or half white and half whole wheat)
1 large table spoon of baking powder
1 large table spoon of sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup of milk
1 1/2 cup water (or more if needed)
1/4 cup shorting or oil

Pre heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Mix all the dry ingredients together well- in large bowl then add the lard or oil to the mix
then cut the lard or oil in the flour using a fork cut the lard or oil in making the flour flaky
( note after I used the fork I get my hands in the floor and mix together making the flour flaky)
then I add the milk and some of the water and mix it using the fork and mixing the dry ingredients so it is moist all through the dough - add more water if necessary. Do NOT over mix - only until wet.
Then using the fork, scoop biscuit sized globs of dough on a flat tray and bake for 20 or 25 min or cook to a golden brown.

good luck gill - don't give up the first time - it'll work out right with practice. Also, remember us half-breed men make the best bannock - hahaha! Oops! No offense to the great bannock making half-breed women! LOL!

Thanks Dale, I think this will help.

I used to have a recipe but it is on my other computer and it died! so I lost a lot of things that I had on there...

The world of computers ehh!

Thanks again.

Hi Uncle

I would give you one but I never measure anything when I make it :(

[Gil Poitras]

Well Carson, there's only one thing to do...make a batch and measure what you put in?

Mistery solved!

I have tried many recipes . lately I cheat and make a batch of pizza dough in my bread maker and then divide it up and deep fry it . MMMMMMM it is awesome . If you have a bread maker and need the recipe I will get it for you .

[Gil Poitras]

I'm sorry, I don't have a bread maker...but maybe I'll buy one some day...thanks.

Just adding , to say that Dale had personally taught me how to make his bannock ! and it is by far the best recipe I have come across ! I make it to this day and recieve great compliments and it goes known who taught me ! Thanks Dale !

[Gil Poitras]

Thanks Meeshyell, I'll try this one two?

Gil

You're welcome, Meeshyell. Practise makes perfect. Just a note for everyone, when the dry ingredients and the oil/shorting are mixed together, the consistency should looks like biscuit, right out of the box - also, add water slowly to mixture until you get the right consistency....some people put it on a floured board and roll it out and then cut it up into either squares or circles. I personally, scoop it out of the bowl by large heaping tablespoon, onto a baking sheet with the consistency of being on the moist side. Remember not to over mix because it tends to turn out like hockey pucks like my Mom used to make in the 60's, hahahaha....have fun!
