St. Michael Bannock
A bannock recipe (similar to a scone) for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels (Michaelmas)
Ingredients
- 2 C oats
- 2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ C butter
- ¼ C honey
- ½ C milk
Egg Wash Mixture
- 1 egg
- ¼ C cream
- 4 oz butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Preheat a lightly greased cast iron skillet on the stove on medium-low heat.
- Using a food processor, blitz the oats until they become a fine flour. In a bowl, combine oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter and then add the honey and milk. (Mix the honey into the milk before adding to the dry ingredients.)
- Form into a ball and then press down into a disk.
- Combine the egg wash ingredients (egg, butter, and cream) and slather one side of the bannock. Lay that side face-down on the skillet and cook for about 1 minute. Meanwhile, slather the other side with the mixture.
- Continue flipping and slathering until the cream mixture is used up or until the bannock is browned enough on each side. Then, place the skillet in the oven to bake through. This might take another 10-30 minutes depending on how thick the bannock is.
- Remove from oven and cut into wedges and enjoy with butter and blackberry jam.
