Bannocks, as made and eaten in Scotland ,are a kind of bread made with
various different flours according to the type of bannock and no yeast,
divided into farls [quarters ] and cooked on a hot girdle [griddle].
The burnt bannock or the bean bannock has ritual significance and is
eaten at either secular new year or Samhain [Halloween]
I miss making bannocks as I used to feel connected to all the women in
my ancestry as I made them. It is a kind of meditative process as the
mixture is kneaded , cooked and cut on the girdle.
