Pan-fried Bannock Bread

Pan-fried Bannock Bread 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon bacon grease, melted 3/4 cup water vegetable oil for frying In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Add bacon grease and whisk together with a fork, gradually add water and stir until dough holds together. It will be soft and sticky, similar to drop biscuit dough. Divide into 6 to 8 pieces, dropping the pieces into a plate with flour in it, and turning them over to coat both sides. Using floured hands flatten each piece to an even thickness between your palms, and set aside on a clean plate. Repeat until all your bannocks are ready. On medium heat, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a medium frying pan, until a little flour dropped into the oil sizzles and foams. Add bannock to the hot oil*, and fry until golden brown on both sides (and cooked on the inside). Drain on paper towel lined plate and eat warm or at room temperature. *Do not cook on too high a heat or they will only cook on the outside.
