Making Bannock - Timber Style

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor and is plant-based.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with additional flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and dairy-free.

Combine 1 cup flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder in a solid bowl.

Add raisins and brown sugar to the mixture.

Create a well in the center and gradually add water, mixing it in with the flour from the outside of the bowl.

Continue adding water to the center while mixing, keeping the mixture wet in the center and dry on the outside.

Use a stick to break apart any chunks of brown sugar that may be stuck together.

Ensure the mixture is thick enough to wrap around a stick for cooking.

Warm a tin over the fire and add coconut oil to the outside, rotating it to coat all sides.

Once the tin is hot, pour the Bannock mixture into the tin, ensuring it has the right consistency.

Fold the tin like a burrito to seal in the mixture and prevent air from escaping.

Place the tin in the center of the fire, ensuring coals are moved to the side for even heat.

Check the temperature by holding your hand over the fire; if you can hold it for five seconds, it's hot enough.

Cook for about 15 minutes, moving the coals closer to the tin as needed for heat.

After cooking, check if the Bannock pulls away from the sides of the tin for doneness.
