Bannock
Our Bannock is fried to a golden brown and served warm with a choice of berry jam or whipped honey-chive butter.
Bannock is one of the most popular and widespread Indigenous foods throughout Canada. Almost everyone has a specific way they make their bannock. It can be baked, done on the stove top, deep fried, or cooked on a stick on the open fire. Bannock is great paired with soups, stews, cooked wild berries and dips. Traditional Indigenous versions of bannock can be made from corn, nut meal, flour, and ground plant bulbs.

Bannock | Tuhch’uh
“Growing up, bannock was always around at our meals. Living in the north with stores few and far between we packed a lot of homemade lunches for any type of trip. You can enjoy bannock in -40 while ice fishing or on the Richardson mountains while hunting. We almost always had bannock served with a bowl of soup. This recipe was given to me by my mom and it is truly one of my comfort foods.”
