BANNOCK
3 cups all purpose white flour 2 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 cups water Dry mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add water, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing as you go. Final dough should have a consistency somewhere between a bread dough and a pancake batter - it should not pour into a pan but instead needs be spooned in. Preheat a cast iron frying pan with about a 1/4" of oil, covering the bottom of the pan. Spoon in about 1/2 cup of batter and spread out to about 1/2" in depth. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and then flip once and cook the top side. Serve hot with lots of butter and jam. This fried bread was a staple amongst the earlier fur traders of Canada and was quickly adopted by the First Nations people as one of their own. The bread can also be roasted on a stick over a fire or baked in an oven but the fried version is extra tasty because of the oil! Submitted by: Moose Caller

Folks! The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt. Not tablespoon! No wonder its too salty.

I have made this recipe for over 30 years; I got it from an old time pioneer cookbook. However my recipe has 2 tablespoons of oil, 1-1/2 cups warm water and 1/4 cup milk. I roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick and cut into small 2x2-inch squares and fry it in oil. Yummy pillows of deliciousness! We serve it with maple syrup. It's good left over too. We cut an opening in the end of the piece of bread and fill it with peanut butter. I make this every Christmas for our family brunch.

I just made this today and added some cinnamon and raisins as an experiment really. It actually was very good. I did like this recipe however I have to agree the salt could be reduced as it did have a bit of a salty taste to it. If this is something you prefer then that's fine, however if you are sensitive to salt it would probably be perfect with half a tablespoon

Great recipe! But I would cut back on the salt. I just made this and it was a bit toooo salty. Maybe a half of a table spoon or a teaspoon would fit perfectly.

This recipe is FANTASTIC! I modified it after the first time for my own laziness ;) I use a non stick pan on medium heat. I also skip out on the salt and use non-hydrogenated margarine to fry them in. It makes 10 biscuits for me.

They come out with the outside salty and tasty and the inside bland. I also accompanied them with chicken and corn chowder! YUM!!! My kids ate 2 bowls and two biscuits each and my husband came home from work and fell in love again ;)

I found this SOOOOOO yummy!
