This week is right up our alley because
we’ve picked B.C. as our province of the week and that is where we are from. We are going to try out a well-known
British Columbia recipe, Bannock. It’s very simple to make so we’re going to
give it a try this week and see how it goes.
Ingredients:
6 tbsp. of baking
powder
3 ½ cups milk,
warmed
¼ cup vegetable
oil
Directions:
Mix together
flour, baking powder, milk and oil. Stir until dough comes together in a ball;
do not overmix. Shape into rough oval; place on baking sheet or oven-safe
casserole dish.
Bake in 400°F oven “until a beautiful golden brown,” about 30 minutes.
Serve warm
or cooled. We read that it’s “excellent with B.C. blackberry jam” but I’m sure
any type of berry jam would be delicious.
Take a look at the link below for a Bannock bread pudding recipe if you have any left over.
