Bannock, or a flour cake with milk, whey, fruit and honey baked on a rock is truly ancient recipe and very simple to make. Originally something like this would probably have been baked on a stone heated in a fire but it can also be cooked on a griddle pan.
Ingredients:
200g barley flour (or a mix of barley and oat flours)
salt, to taste
60ml honey
milk or whey, to bind
Method:
Combine the barley meal and salt in a bowl. Stir in the honey then add enough whey (or water) to bring the mixture together as a dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface then roll out to 2cm thick. Divide into cakes of the required size then either cook on a rock that's been pre-heated on a fire or on a griddle pan.
Cook until well browned on the base then turn over and cook on the other side until done through and nicely coloured. Serve warm. If desired, you can add about 60g of seasonal fruit to the base mixture.
