Scope and content | A set of 21 photos of Napthelie McKenzie showing the making of bannock on a stick. -p01: Napthelie begins the process by cutting and peeling a pole. -p02: Bannock is a baking-powder bread introduced to the north by Scottish fur traders. -p03: It is easy to make and can be cooked in different ways. -p04: Napthelie will show how to cook it on a stick, with no pan needed. -p05: He has the main pole peeled and ready. -p06: He now cuts and peels four or five smaller willow sticks. -p07: He prepares the bannock in a bowl. -p08: He shapes it into a long loaf and pushes one end of the pole through it. -p09 to -p11: To keep the dough from sagging, the small sticks are poked through it sideways. -p12 to -p13: The sticks are put through the dough alternately over and under the pole. -p14 to -p18: The pole is then stuck into the ground at an angle over a slow fire. -p19: The sticks hold the dough together. -p20: The bannock loaf cooks slowly and must turned for even browning. -p21: When the bottom is brown it is turned over. -p22: Napthelie now lays out the bannock. -p23: Pieces of the fresh bannock are broken off. -p24: The McKenzie's children and grandchildren have been looking forward to enjoying the delicious warm bannock! | |
