"This is an adopted recipe. The original introduction stated "Bannock is a Native Indian fry bread. Simple and quick to make. This recipe comes from a magazine article. The woman who taught the author of the article to make bannock said that "rich Indians add raisins to their bannock".""

This was so easy and nice when there's nothing else for breakfast. It's like a pancake-english muffin hybrid. I tried it as written and it was great (my 3 year old loved it too), and I tried it with less sugar, served to dip in stew - also tasty! I think different additions would be really nice - perfect when you need bread in a hurry!

This was delicious! I made 1/4 of the recipe for just myself, using equal parts whole wheat and all-purpose flours. I added stevia instead of sugar and fried it with butter. This made 1 dense, chewy patty that looked like a pancake. I remember enjoying these at camp and I still like them now. I prefer a thick patty, so next time I'll form a thicker one that isn't as wide. Overall it was an excellent breakfast and I'll definitely be making this again, thanks!

This was pretty good. I was hoping it would be a little more like my mom's. I think I made my "pattys" a bit too thick as well.I used about 2 cups of water for a double recipe and that seemed to work pretty good.I also used sea salt, but would opt for regular table salt next time.I ate mine with cheeze whiz - yum!

This is a hard one for me to rate as I'd never heard of Banock before so not sure how it's supposed to turn out. It certainly went together easy - I followed the directions exactly. We felt it was a cross between a biscuit and an english muffin. It felt heavy to me - but maybe that is as it should be or maybe I was heavy handed in mixing it. However; heavyness aside - the taste was good and we had fun trying something totally new to our regular biscuits. Thanks so much for posting.

Hi...Make it healthy and yummy by using stevia instead of sugar, cinnamon and raisins or blueberries are great and instead of baking in a pan combine dry ingredients in a baggy and whip them out at your next campfire...add the water to make a stiff dough, divide into portions and roll between your hands to make a long sausage shape wrap around green sticks and bake over the fire ...a great alternative to smores and wieners, kid friendly and delicious...
