Here is one staple item we will eat regularly, particularly for breakfast. They are rather crude looking, but surprisingly tasty, especially with added dried fruit.
Ingredients: 1-2 teaspoons of sugar; a pinch of salt; 2 teaspoons of margarine, bacon fat or shortening; 1/2 cup of flour, fine oatmeal, cornmeal or rolled oats; 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder; water, milk or egg; dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc) if wanted.
Cream first 3 ingredients, then in a separate bowl blend the flour, baking powder, and dried fruit. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients, add enough milk, water or egg to make a tacky but floury dough. Grease frying pan with bacon fat, margarine or shortening, cook (medium heat) as per a pancake, flipping once per side. Takes about 5 minutes to fry. Serves one. Can be smothered in jam, honey or syrup.
Excellent! This is like the recipe I used when I made bannock at school as a kid. I remember really liking it, but couldn't find a recipe that resembled the one we'd used. Thanks!
