Bannock: Easy, Versatile, Deliciousness

Are you ready to have something better than bread for breakfast or a sandwich? When you are camping do you want to feed your kids something more nutritious than a hotdog or marshmallow, that can be roasted on a stick or even in a pie iron over a campfire? Well, don’t panic, there’s bannock!

Bannock: the versatile bread

Bannock is a versatile treat that is super easy to make and even easier to eat. I used to always make bannock Scottish style, in the oven, or else wrapped around a fat stick and roasted slowly and patiently over a campfire. But then one day, I ran out of burger buns. What to do?

Bannock to the rescue

Well, bannock to the rescue! It was time to try frying my bannock recipe. I had my little outdoor stove set up on Helen’s old picnic table on the beach. I heated up my cast iron skillet and melted a generous amount of vegan butter. When everything was ready, I added my bannocks, fried one side to golden deliciousness, and then flipped then over and did the same on the other side.

Helen and I assembled our bannock burgers, with all the fixings and ate them in chairs around an oceanside campfire as the seals and sea lions swam by. There is no going back to baked bannock, especially as I travel. I wonder at the marvels that could be- Vegan bannock pizza pockets, bannock pan pies…so much to try…my bannock bucket list could be endless.
