Fry the pieces for 3-4 minutes a side until deep gold and cooked through at the centre.

Chef's tips
Medium heat only — hot oil colours the outside before the middle cooks, which is the usual fault.
Ingredient substitutions
- frying → bake at 200C for 20 minutes for oven bannock
Storage
Best the day it is made; reheat briefly in a dry pan.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overworking the dough
