Fife Bannock is made in Fife, an area on the east coast of Scotland.
In Fife, bannock is more likely to be made with wheat flour, and another grain that has been finely ground, as opposed to some other parts of Scotland, which is likely to have more oats in it.
Cooking Tips
Sample recipe for Fife Bannock:
6 oz (175 g) white flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1 tablespoon of sugar
pinch of salt
4 tablespoons butter
buttermilk (or soured milk)
Mix all dry ingredients. Rub in butter. Add enough milk to make a stiff dough. On a floured board, roll out to a round ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Cut into 4 (or 8, depending how big you want the pieces) triangles, and brown both sides in a hot pan or on a hot griddle (no fat or oil). Serve warm.
