from Meennunyakaa Blueberry Patch
There’s a recipe for Bannock in the book but I thought you’d like to elevate it with adding blueberries since they’re in season…and it goes nicely with the theme of the book. This recipe was developed by David Wolfman at https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/eventrecipe-highlights-youarewelcome-host-first-nations-food/
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup wild blueberries
1/2 cup vegetable shortening or butter
1 egg beaten
2/3 cup 2% milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F.
In a stainless-steel bowl, sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together.
In another bowl combine the milk and eggs together, mix well and set aside.
Cut the shortening into the flour using a pastry cutter or two knives to pea size nuggets.
Add the milk and eggs mixture and blend.
Knead together for 3-5 minutes and flatten out slightly to 1 inch thick.
Cut into 2-inch circles and place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Nada’s Tips & Tricks: Use fresh blueberries while they’re in season and other times of the year, use frozen. You can substitute any berry in season for different flavour profiles.
