bannock is real easy to do, no need for fats or egg or that malarkey, unless you intend to use it as am amergency survival food in which case you put loads of stuff in it.
my mix is easy peazy....
plain flour x 10 heaped table spoons
baking powder x 2 slightly rounded table spoons
THATS IT!!!!! thats the base mix, to this you can add what you like, oats, dried fruit, sugar or chopped up chariso or just a few pinches of salt.
bung the mix in a polly bag with all the dry ingrediants and tie it up leaving as shorter end as possible (so the bag is as big as possible still) when required chop the tied end of and "VERY SLOWLY" add water untill the mix is right, do it in portion size ammounts so none is wasted..
