Rustic Scottish Bannock Recipe
Shaziya
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.
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 30 minutes mins
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- Oil (for cooking)
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.
