Buttery Bannock Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir to mix. Pour melted butter and water over flour mixture. Stir with fork to make a ball.
• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead gently about 10 times. Pat into a flat circle 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
• Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 15 minutes for each side. Use two lifters for easy turning. May also be baked on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, soda and sugar.
• Cut shortening and butter into dry ingredients until crumbly and well distributed.
• In a small bowl, sprinkle the dry yeast over the warm water and stir briefly. Allow to dissolve and swell.
• Add warm buttermilk to dry ingredients, then dissolved yeast mixture, and toss with a fork to blend and moisten, creating a ragged mass.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently for about 8-10 seconds to make a soft dough.
• Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and let rest 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• On a lightly floured board, roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch and about 6-8 inches by 6-8 inches. Cut into 8 to 10, 2.5 to 3 inch round biscuits.
• Arrange in seasoned 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet or lightly greased 10-inch square or round baking pan. Cover with a clean tea towel for 20-30 minutes.
• Dust biscuit tops lightly with flour. Bake until lightly golden, abut 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, water and oil. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes. Let it rest for a minute, then spread out onto a cookie sheet to 1 inch thickness. Poke holes in the dough using a fork.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottom is golden when you lift up the bread to take a peek.

Steps:

• Beat the butter with the icing sugar, a pinch of salt and the lemon zest until a smooth.
• Sift in the flour and add the milk, mix to a dough and then knead briefly. Wrap and chill for 1-2 hours.
• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll the dough out on a floured worksurface to 2mm and cut out different shapes. Arrange the biscuits on the baking sheets, grouping all the same sizes together. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden, then cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a bowl set over simmering water. Dip one side of each cookie into the chocolate and leave to cool and set.

Steps:

• 1. Preheated oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside.
• 2. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture with pastry cutter. Add buttermilk until dough is soft. Stir in currants and raisins.
• 3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Form dough into a 7 inch round. Place on prepared baking sheet (or you can use an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan, greased). Using a sharp knife, score a 1/2 inch deep cross on the top. This allows the loaf to expand.
• 4. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm with butter or jam.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets with shortening or cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, buttermilk and 5 tablespoons of the melted butter with fork or whisk just until blended. On lightly floured surface, knead dough 1 to 2 times. Press or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough with floured 1 1/2-inch round cutter; place rounds on cookie sheets.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops of biscuits with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Butter or line a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or 2 table knives, combine the butter and flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Slowly add the milk, stirring with a fork, to the desired consistency.
• For softer biscuits, drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet. For firmer biscuits, turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and gently knead just to bring the dough together. Carefully roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or sturdy glass, cut about 12 biscuits, rerolling any scraps. Place on the lined baking sheet. (The biscuits can be frozen at this point. Freeze on the baking sheet, then remove to a resealable container or plastic bag for easier storage.) Bake the biscuits for 13 to 15 minutes (add 3 to 4 additional minutes for frozen ones), until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve warm.

Steps:

• For Greg's Bella Coola Bannock:
• Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut in the butter until the pieces are pea-sized. Mix in the egg, then pour in about 1/4 cup (60 mL) of milk. Mix together just until a dough forms, adding more milk if needed. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 biscuit-sized pieces. In a large frying pan, pour in about 1/4 inch (6 mm) of oil and heat over medium-high. When the oil is hot, fry the bannock-being careful not to crowd them-until golden brown. Serve immediately with maple syrup and flaky sea salt.
• For Doreen Crowe's Bannock:
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and water together to form a dough. If the dough is a bit dry, add more water 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into a 9×12-inch (23×30-cm) rectangle about 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick. Cut into approximately 3×3-inch (8×8-cm) squares. Heat about 1/4 inch (6 mm) of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and fry the bannock-being careful not to crowd them-until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve warm.
