Auntie Helen's Bannock

Bannock

The video is to give you an idea how to mix the flour!
Not the best quality video, but it still gives you an idea how Helen mixes it!



Ingrediants

5 Cups flour
2  heaping Tbsp.  Baking Powder
2 1/2 to 3 Cups water

Directions:

Add flour and baking powder and mix together.
Make a well in the center of the flour.
Slowly pour the water into the center of the well.
With a fork, slowly stir in circles to mix little bits of flour at a time.
When it gets too stiff to stir with a fork, gently use your hands to fold in the rest of the flour.
The dough should feel light and fluffy.

Form into patties for Bannock Burgers,  or larger for Indian Tacos.
Poke with a fork.

Have oil heated in a frying pan. Fry at a Meduim high heat until golden brown.
Then flip them over and fry the other side.   If you fry it too fast the inside will be doughy.

Popcorn!

By
Jolly Time Popcorn For those of you who know my husband, he has a sense of humor that I love! He's been making fun of me for taking soooo many pictures of FOOD lately. When I started taking this impromptu video of him making popcorn, he got right into it! Jolly Time Popcorn: Pour  about 1/ 2 cup oil in the kettle.  May need to adjust measurements to fit your kettle size. Turn to a high heat and add 1/2 cup kernels. Be sure to keep a close eye on it and shake it to keep the kernels from burning. Once all the kernels stop popping remove from heat and salt. When Jeff and I first got married I didn't eat popcorn. I really didn't like getting the kernels stuck between my teeth! Then he introduced me to Tiny Tender Popcorn and Ladyfinger. I couldn't believe the difference! Every time we go to Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania we buy as much as we can. We can go through a 50 lb bag in about 1 year! It's a relatively healthy snack, and it
