- A traditional accompaniment to bulk up a meal, bannocks were once a staple in many peoples diet.
There are many recipes available with slightly differing ingredients, however this the one I have adapted which works for me.
This recipe make 2 rounds, which would be 8 bannocks, however it would depend how thick your mixture was.
3 cups of Self Raising flour.
2tbs Baking Powder
1tsp Salt
2 tbs Fat( Butter, lard etc)
1-2 cups milk
Cooking oil
Mix the dry ingredients.
Add the fat & rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs
Gradually mix in the milk untill it forms a thick batter.
Heat the pan, skillet or griddle
Add a little oil.
Make sure the pan is hot enough to hear a sizzle but not hot enough to burn the batter.
Place the batter in the pan and press down slightly.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes each side untill golden brown in colour. Make sure it is cooked all the way through.
Once cooked remove from the pan and allow to cool before serving.
I have had many bannocks that have turned out very well, I have also had lots that were a little doughy in the middle when they havn’t cooked the entire way through.
As my mum use to say, these will stick to you ribs ‘till tea time.
I hope you enjoyed this video. Leave any comments down below or chat with me on Instagram.
Take care

Thank you for sharing your bannock making in this peaceful video.
You are welcome, I’m so glad you liked it. 😊
This video brings me back to when I was a boy on the farm. We had a Jersey cow, from which we had milk, cream, buttermilk and homemade butter.
Oh Jersey milk! I can imagine that would have been the creamiest milk, what luck to have it raw and available to you. Lovely memories, thank you so much for sharing one 😊
You are so lucky to have access to such delicious food. I remember dairy products like those back in my day. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Ruth, we were so grateful for the farmer investing in the milk dispensing machine, which is now very well supported. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I found your channel just now. Both of my parents have Scottish ancestry. I want to learn to make this lovely bread. God bless you.❤
A very warm welcome, it’s lovely to have you here, I hope this video is helpful to you 😊
I am a Scot, too. Family name Robertson. My ancestors came from Edinburgh about 1700.
Wow, it sounds like you have good knowledge of your ancestry going back to 1700. 😊
@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 when you have 25% Scottish DNA it makes things a lot easier. Yes, I have a good knowledge of my ancestry. And yes, my family has been in America since the 16th Century. I am a descendant of the Mayflower and the Caroline ( Jamestown) and probably the Lost Colony of Roanoke. I am a descendant of the First Families of both Virginia and Georgia, and a great grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence and a cousin wrote it. My wife is a descendant of the First Famines of the United States.
@@johnclarke6647 wow, that is fascinating, thank you 🙏
So glad I found your videos. Been looking for a video on how to make these bannocks, I’m desperate to try making them. Thank you 😁
Hi Jodie, thank you for your comment. I hope they turn out good for you, let me know how you get on! 😊
How lovely. Fried biscuits!
Hi Jeanette, I have heard of fried biscuits but never been quite sure of what they are. Are they what we would call a scone?
@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 normally a biscuit is baked. Scones are kinda equivalent to biscuits. However, women in the southern United States mountain regions have been known to just fry biscuit dough or cornbread batter instead of baking.
@@jeanetteharris2211 Thank you 🙏
@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 you're welcome! Thank you for sharing your recipe
Thank you for the lesson! It’s wonderful to see support of a local dairy.
I am glad you liked the video, we are gradually coming away from large chain supermarkets and buy direct where we can. It makes such a difference. 🙏
Very nice video.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you.
You are welcome 🙏
Looks yummy. I miss our fireplace but the stove top will work just fine
Welcome @Dollcan, thank you for your comment. Yes indeed the stove top or a campfire also work very well 😊
i keep a 1 quart /liter canning jar in my fridge for when i want to make fresh butter. about 1/8 tsp salt is what i use.
Hi tifm59, thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🙏
Nice video easy to follow instructions and yes I will be trying to make some on my next camping trip.......cheers
I’m glad this video was helpful to you, let me know how you get on. 😊
These look very good, comfort food. We do support a local dairy which has their milk in glass bottles, the whole milk has cream on the top.yum! It is always best to support local farmers as much as possible.
Hi Faith, that sounds lovely, yes I do think it is so important to support local where possible, it would be a disaster if all we had was large corporations. Whole milk with the cream on top is Adams favourite, I can only have small amounts of dairy due to medical reasons but prefer “real” dairy for when I do. 😊
Fab! Thank you!
Hi, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 😊
A fine introduction to frugality and authentic food. Thank you. Owen Wagner
Thank you so much Owen, we like to keep it simple 😊
I make butter with my stand mixer and the whisking attachment. It takes about 15 minutes. I atdd a teaspoon of salt to the butter it creates.
Hi John, thank you so much for sharing this wee gem of information 🙏
You are incredibly lucky.
Thank you, we really appreciate what we have. 🙏
I accidentally made butter when I was whipping cream for a jubilee cake 🙈 but the buttermilk made great scones and the butter was soon gone. Have you tried Orkney bere bannocks? They are lovely. Bere is barley flour as barley grows well in Orkney.
Oh no! Great ways to use everything though, and it all sounds lovely. I havn’t tried Orkney bere bannocks, I will have to do a bit of investigation. Thank you for the recommendation, I like to try new things.
Very relaxing to watch. I will try doing this myself. x
Hi Zinder, thank you so much for your comment, I’m glad you liked the video. Let me know how you get on. 😊
I wish we still had diaries that sold milk. We got it delivered to the door several times a week - 2 half gallons. We bought it from R.L. Mathis Dairy in Atlanta, GA, USA. It was great milk. We even had a little icebox, provided by the dairy, to keep our milk in after it was delivered. I drank a lot of milk with Ovaltine and Nestles Quick, when I was a boy. It was a lot better than the diluted milk super markets sell as whole milk, today.
Hi John, I would have to agree, when my dad came out of the military we spent time living on a dairy farm drinking raw milk. Unfortunately it is illegal now in Scotland to buy & sell raw milk. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience 🙏
@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 fyi, I am a US Marine and will be until I die.
@@johnclarke6647 wow, a big respect to you, you must stand very proud. 🙏
We can thank capitalism and corporations for buying up and bullying little family businesses that provided us with good food. Now, all they care about is getting addicted to manufactured foods that aren’t good for us so they can make big profits. Power to the people.
@@ryuhabdle9 that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Capitalism is what built this country. Get an education and participate in it or stay ignorant and swill at the public trough. , like so many these days.
Food for the soul
Absolutely 😊
Lovely and relaxing video, what is the song name?
Thank you so much, unfortunately I didn’t note the title of the music but all of the music that feature in my videos is from Epidemic Sounds. Noting the title is something I will do in the notes in future. 😊
Bhi se sin go halainn. Go raibh maith agat. Anois ta ocras mor orm. :)
Beautifully written, thank you 😊 Yes they do fill you up when you are hungry.
Lovely. Would like to know if you could add some oats, as that would be healthier than plain white flour?
Hi Valerie, thank you for your comment and question. I don’t see why you couldn’t replace the flour for an alternative flour like oat flour, you might have to add some additional baking power though. Give it a try and let us know how you get on. Take care 😁
I miss milk in a bag. It’s a Canadian thing.
I’ve never seen milk in a bag, it sounds like it brought back memories 😊
