Hé Ho! C'est le Festival!

I would like to thank all parents who supported our Festival du Voyageur celebrations here at the school by preparing bannock, volunteering to serve pea soup and bannock, for helping their children with their costumes and for driving students to and from Voyageur Park for our Festival du Voyageur fieldtrip. A recipe for bannock is found after these photos; a recipe for pea soup is on last week's blog entry. 

It was a very yummy and fun week...please enjoy our photos.

BANNOCK 

3 cups of flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

¼ cup of fat (shortening or butter)

1 ¼ cup warm water

STEPS

• Mix all dry ingredients together.

• Make a hole in the middle and add fat.

• Pour water on top of the fat.

• Blend mixture together.

• Divide the dough into two balls.

• Flatten each ball into 1 cm thickness.

• Punch holes in both with a fork.

• Cook in well-greased frying pan for 20 minutes (or bake in a 400 degree oven 15-20 minutes until golden on the bottom). 

Festival du Voyageur field trip photos will be in our next blog entry.

À bientôt!
