As with Pithcaily Bannock, Yetholm Bannock is actually a shortbread, but one with candied (aka crystallized) ginger pieces in it.
You make plain shortbread from wheat flour (with no oatmeal) and add 1 egg yolk for added richness, plus 1 generous tablespoon of chopped candied ginger.
You shape the dough in an oblong form, then bake.
Language Notes
Yetholm Bannock is named after Yetholm, a town near Scotland’s southern border with England.
