Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine (or butter or shortening)
3/4 - 1 cup milk (or water)

Directions

1

Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2

Work in the margarine using hands until you make a nice crumble. If you have Olivina margarine in your area, I find this makes for the best bannock.
3

Gradually mix in enough milk to make soft but not sticky. Knead.
4

Shape into a ball, place on a greased baking sheet, then flatten into a circle about 1 inch thick.
5

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
