Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in the milk and oil until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add a little more flour only if it is too wet to handle.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently for 30 seconds, then divide into 8 pieces and pat into rounds about 1cm thick.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a heavy frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the bannock rounds for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Drain briefly on kitchen paper and serve warm.
