Vegetable oil for frying
- First, combine flour, baking powder and salt and a large bowl with a spoon, fork, or your fingers.
- Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients by scraping some of the dry ingredients to the side of the bowl.
- Pour the milk and water into the well that you have created and use a fork to slowly stir the dry ingredients into this liquid from the edge of the well.
- When a sticky dough has been made, turn the dough out onto a surface that has been covered with a generous dusting of flour.
- Coat your hands with flour and gently press the dough into a flat, oval shape. It should be approximately 8 inches in diameter when it is the right thickness.
- In a heavy skillet, pour vegetable oil in and bring to temperature over a medium heat. Allow the oil to begin bubbling slightly before you proceed.
- Transfer the bannock dough from the floured surface and into the skillet.
- Allow the dough to fry in the oil for a short period of time, until each side of the dough is golden in color and the dough has puffed up wonderfully. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Check that the dough is properly cooked by inserting a knife into the middle of the dough. If the knife is clean when removed, the dough should be cooked through.
