👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) or heat a griddle or heavy-based frying pan over medium heat.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, oatmeal, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensuring dry ingredients are well mixed prevents pockets of salt or baking powder.
3. 3

   Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

   💡 プロのコツ: Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
4. 4

   Make a well in the center of the mixture and gradually add the milk or buttermilk, stirring with a knife or your hands until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

5. 5

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for a moment, then shape it into a flat disc, about 1-inch thick.

   💡 プロのコツ: Avoid over-kneading, which can make the bannock tough.
6. 6

   If baking, place the disc on the prepared baking tray. If cooking on a griddle/pan, carefully transfer the disc to the hot surface.

7. 7

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. If cooking on a griddle/pan, cook for about 10-15 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

   💡 プロのコツ: The bannock should sound hollow when tapped.
8. 8

   Once cooked, remove from the oven or pan and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
