Gramma's Bannock: The Aimless Cook

[@amandaseguin]

brings me back to my childhood in the NWT, watching my Granny make her bannock. My Granny always used lard- never shortening, never oil, never butter. Sometimes she would even pan fry it and sprinkle it with brown sugar. So good!

[@CaityBear05]

Mmmmm and I was one of those kids always going to Granny's for soup and bannock at lunch :)

[@theeyesofanother]

I really love your videos with family cooking together, and family recipes being made. Reminds me of when I was a girl cooking with my grandma. =)

[@CaityBear05]

Thia is by far my favorite thing to eat when I go home for the summer to visit the fam. I should get Auntie Gladys to show me how to make it again! Oh I miss Granny's bannock

[@JaydelCorro]

@charley388 Yeah, the texture is similar. Traditionally, bannock was made on a fire on a stick. I have clips of that too.

[@FourFingersofDeath]

We call them scones in Australia and damper when made as one 'loaf.' Most of the bushes and stockmen lived on damper and wallaby stew. We also used to throw balls of the uncooked dough on top of a bubbling soup and they would swell up and make light fluffy dumplings! Yummo.

This is so nice - thank you and Gladys for sharing this :)

[@songbirdrebel5895]

I don’t think I have ever seen bannock being made that way before… I should try it when I get the chance, but I’m still experimenting on the frying pan (in an attempt to replicate my late grandmother’s recipe)

[@JaydelCorro]

I have a frybread version too

[@Candielette]

Mmm i love bannock, my whole family is native and i can remember eating it when i was little with lots of peanut butter.

[@17025601]

I had damper in the Outback, made and baked in an iron dutch oven with coals on top and served with golden syrup. Very good!

[@bowhunter2439]

Wow those looked great , love to hear the stories that go along with the food.....great video Jay..... Bow

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Food made with love is always the best. Looks good!

[@punisher8455]

Love it thanks. I will try it this way,,

[@TootoosisJ]

Haha, I liked this tutorial. You can tell she's a good spirited woman.

[@ShelliKittens]

*laughs*.. she said you don't ever cut it with a knife. .. The older guy at the end, probably her husband, used a knife and cut it open! So funny! This was a great video and they loooked so good. Definitely putting this on my list of things to try.

[@edd2ds]

+ShelliKittens She's right about using a cold knife on a hot biscuit. It makes the center gummy. Once it's cooled off, a knife is OK.

[@lansco2]

Totally enjoyed this Gladys. I will try to make this. Say hello to ken for me.

[@FREEBASS]

Great recipe, at 6:20 things get a little weird ;)

[@taylorgladue]

This lady knows what's she's doing. Does not mess around

[@Deucebaby4life]

was cool we cook bannock different, we use fry oil and i learn how to cook bannock since i was a kid lol but i enjoyed this video :)

[@amandaseguin]

Also, my Granny would die laughing at me if she ever saw me use a Cuisinart to blend the dry ingredients! (don't get me wrong though- I'm totally going to use one!) She never used a recipe either. She just knew by looking at a coffee mug how much to add of everything.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Awesome

[@ladynikkie]

have some country gravy and you would be in heaven eating that!

[@kc329191]

Cool video, nice family!

[@JaydelCorro]

@khogaahmed Yes it is. Fresh baking needs nothing more than some nice butter. It's awesome.

[@Lara-ri1lg]

I use lard and milk too but I add a bit of sugar and raisins to make a sweet bannock.

[@ogimaa43]

Awesome !!

[@JaydelCorro]

@tiny707 It is so like a biscuit, but fluffier. When I saw her make it, I was thinking the same thing. lol.

[@JaydelCorro]

@CaityBear05 That's awesome. Last time I was in Smith, we went to Aunty Marlene's for soup and bannock. It's in my Summer Food video. When I go back, I hope to have her on the show! If you know anyone else that has a great recipe in Smith, let me know. Just msg me on fb or G+.

[@sharonlatour6230]

Lard makes the very best Bannock. We in the USA consider these as biscuits, but man do they look great!

[@highonimmi]

+Sharon La Tour yup....love me some biscuit/bannock!!!

[@sharonlatour6230]

[@chicharon515]

[@tiny707]

i thought it was going to be like the indian fried bread but i can see making it and trying it with country gravy.

[@mzfrkd]

I came looking for a bannock recipe and I will keep looking, this is how I make baking powder biscuits ????

[@JaydelCorro]

@khogaahmed I know... it was priceless, I had to add it in there! lol.

[@saraw3418]

If you cut up the lard into small cubes and freeze it the dough doesn’t get warm so you can make the bannock by hand. I don’t own a food processor.

[@JaydelCorro]

You know what else I've done? Grated frozen butter.

I tried to make this bannock but extracting beer fat from my Budweiser and Kokanee beer seemed almost impossible.! It seems the fat is with'in me. Any suggestions?

[@JaydelCorro]

@dksapfl and an awesome city it is.

[@terriolewinski5546]

When making bannock shiw how to do it tradinotinally

[@evelynhunter1224]

Yes yes 🙌

[@sandramccarty681]

Are you the same person who plays the ukulele and sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow on the train with the Liberator (he has his own KZbin channel)?

[@stormghostkeeper7897]

I miss my Kokom she made the best bannock!😪

[@TheMrfreedomrequired]

Where did Bannock come from?

[@JaydelCorro]

I answered that one on the other video you asked on.

[@destinymanitopyes931]

@jay del corro Can you make a video making bannock pizza? & I'm heeeey I live in wpg!!

[@TheRivalConcept]

umm that is wrong, damper can be individual or cooked on sitcks or as one loaf.....

[@kab4292]

this is what I would consider a biscuit

[@mammabearjo5483]

Mmm, baked bannock

[@Oldleftiehere]

That’s a baking powder biscuit.

[@JaydelCorro]

You can call it whatever you want to. Bannock is a general term for a bread that was made in the bush. Most times it was wrapped around a stick and cooked on the fire. Trappers found it convenient since the ingredients were easy to pack.

[@tiny707]

first and best lol..whoot me

[@tachemckay8878]

I MAKE THE BEST BANNOCK IN WPG.

[@larryhalkett3403]

Cook

[@kkmcksr]

[@rachelhoule5236]

Then making Bannock ! real Aboriginals don't use FOOD PROCESSORS . That the white man way ! and im from WINNIPEG TOO

[@NymeriaMeliae]

well you better find an aboriginal word for it because Bannock is Scottish/Northern English and real Bannock comes from there... otherwise it is not really Bannock.

[@KawaiiVegs]

It's the traditional "biscuit"
