Congrats on the new venture!! Tip for bannock: never follow the recipe exactly, just sprinkle until you hear your ancestors whisper, “That’s enough my child”
-
Nia:wen, I clearly just haven't been listening well enough for the whispers!

A tad more baking powder than what you think...and if you can give your dough an extra hour or two at the rest, just a little yeast. Light, and a bit more chewy. (Also if you have family members with a cholesterol problem, fry it in peanut oil, it still tastes good!)
-
amazing Lorna, thanks so much for the tip! I haven't tried peanut oil but will be doing so asap

How do you leaven your bannock? Baking powder works best if it's fresh. Stale rising agents don't work well. The fix for density is to let it rise. Cover it, and let it rest. Add more baking powder if it doesn't rise enough.
-
that could be it... I’ve never paid much attention to expiry dates
-
There's your trouble. I buy a fresh one every year.
