(Gaelic, bonnach. Irish, boinneag.) In Scotland, a cake of oatmeal baked on an iron plate.
Behind the door a bag of meal;
And in the kist was plenty
Of good hard cakes his mither bakes;
And bannocks were nae scanty.--Scotch Songs, II. 71.
In New England, cakes of Indian meal, fried in lard, are called bannocks.
