This is the recipe I was given:

Corn-Flour Bannock
(Fried or Baked)
a.. 2 3/4 cups corn flour
b.. 2 tbsp baking powder
c.. 1/2 tsp salt
d.. 3 tbsp lard
e.. 2/3 cup water
Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease lightly a cast iron frying pan, or baking
sheet. Stir and blend together the flour, baking powder and salt. With a
pastry blender or two knives, finely cut in the lard. Then gradually stir in
the water. Stir with a fork to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Turn
dough on a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Roll out or
pat 1/2 inch thick, or flatten dough to fit frying pan. Cook in frying pan
on hat ashes over an open fire (turning to brown both sides), or on a baking
sheet in oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cut
and serve with butter. Makes 1 loaf.

Do you know what I could sub for the lard? I don't have a real objection to
it, but it would be something extra I would have to buy and I doubt I would
ever use it for something else.

Thanks!
