Barley Bannock
A Bannock is a unleavened flat bread.
Put 1/2 pint of milk into a saucepan allow it to boil; then
sprinkle in barley meal, stirring it constantly to prevent
lumps till the mixture is quite thick and almost unstirrable.
Turn the mass out on a meal-besprinkled board and leave to
cool. When cool enough to knead, work it quite stiff with dry
meal, take a portion off, roll it as thin as a wafer, and bake
it on a hot girdle; when done on one side, turn and cook on the
other. The girdle is to be swept clean after each bannock. Eat
hot or cold with butter.
