Hayleigh's Bannock

​

​8 cups flour

1 cup of sugar

4 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp salt

2 tsp Cranky Jimmy's Original

2 cups milk

3 cups water

​​

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly and make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Slowly pour the liquid into the center and fold the liquid into the flour until all mixed thoroughly.

​

​This will make a super sticky ball of dough. For us, being only 2 people, we halved the recipe and in order to roll it out, we used less liquid and more flour. It was a little sweet for us, so next time we would add a little less sugar, but that's just us. The point is, this is a great, adaptable recipe. 

​

Once you have your dough ball, pull a small amount off, about the size of a squash ball or large plum and roll out on floured surface. You want to get it as thin as it will go, about 1/8 of an inch (3-4 mm). You want a tortilla that is about 6 to 8 inches across (a little bigger than the palm of your hand). Heat a pan (cast iron is best), get it nice and hot on medium heat. Pour a VERY generous amount of oil in the pan and let that get hot, put your bannock tortilla into the pan and flip after a minute or two, same with the other side. If the surface is dry, then remove from pan and set aside. If it is not dry, return that side to the pan and continue to cook until both sides are done.

Suggested filling:

​

1 lb ground beef or bison

1/2 cup water

1 - 2 tbsp Cranky Jimmy's Taco Mix

a handful of grated cheese

a bunch of lettuce​

a tomato, cut up and cubed

some sour cream

some salsa

​

Add filling to bannock tortilla and fold in half, then go to town, cuz it's really good!

​

*you should always grate fresh cheese cuz pre-shredded cheese has wood pulp in it (cellulose fibre). It's not hard to grate cheese, don't be lazy...
