Make Your Own Bannock

Bannock is a traditional food for Métis. When many Métis people still lived off the land, bannock provided the essential energy their bodies needed, especially during times of hunting and gathering or during the months when the food supply was limited. We invite you to try this traditional recipe, as a way to bring new flavours into your home. Find it on page 54 of the Métis Cookbook and Guide to Healthy Living!
