Rustic Scottish Bannock Recipe
There’s something wonderfully comforting about the simplicity and heartiness of a Rustic Scottish Bannock. In just 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of baking, you’ll have a warm, aromatic loaf that feels like a cozy hug from the Scottish Highlands.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Finely grind the oatmeal in a food processor or blender, and then transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- To the oats, whisk in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and then mix in the buttermilk until a dough is formed.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead once or twice to bring it together, and then form the dough into an 8-inch (20 cm) disc.
- Heat a skillet over low heat. Add a touch of oil and then place the dough disc in the skillet.
- Cook the bannock until nicely browned (about 10-15 minutes) and then flip and cook the other side and cook for another 10 minutes or so.
- Divide into wedges and serve while still warm with butter and jam. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
