Bannock - Scottish Flatbread
Bannock is a traditional Scottish flatbread that has been eaten for centuries in the United Kingdom and North America. Originally baked on griddle stones, it later became common to cook it in a skillet or oven. Made with simple ingredients, it is often eaten for breakfast or with tea. Bannock can be varied in many ways: it can be savory or sweet, and can be enriched with dried fruits or seeds. It tastes best when freshly baked and goes perfectly with butter, honey, or jam.

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
2
Rub the butter or lard into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Gradually add the water or milk and mix until a soft dough forms.
4
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for a few minutes, then shape it into a circle about 2 cm thick.
5
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and place the dough in the skillet.
6
Cook the bannock for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
7
If you're making a thicker bannock, reduce the heat and cook for a longer time to ensure the inside is cooked through.
8
Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve with butter, jam, or honey.
