Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Bannock for Canadian Thanksgiving

I've been writing about Canadian Thanksgiving - the history and culture behind their celebration, which is on the second Monday of October. So, today I'm going to share a recipe I found for Bannock - which is a First Nations bread and a common part of Canadian Thanksgiving, but first some information I found online about Bannock . . .

Bannock is a simple, flat quick bread which holds a deep and complex place in both Scottish and Indigenous North American food cultures. 

What is Bannock?

Basic Recipe: It is a yeast-free bread made from simple ingredients like flour, baking powder, water, salt, and a fat source like lard, butter, or oil.
Cooking Methods: It can be baked in an oven or on a hot stone, pan-fried in a cast-iron skillet, or wrapped around a stick and cooked over an open campfire.
Variations: Some regions distinguish it from American frybread by its baked or pan-cooked preparation, though the terms are occasionally used interchangeably.
