Potato Bannock

From Susan S.

 

2 1/2 cups flour

2 TBSP baking powder

2 TBSP white sugar

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup shortening

1 cup milk

1 cup potatoes, mashed and cooled

1 TBSP milk

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In large bowl combine flour, BP, sugar and salt.  Cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in milk and potatoes with a fork.  On a floured surface, knead dough about 10 times, work in more flour if dough is sticky.  Place dough on an ungreased cookie sheet and pat with hands to form a circle, about 1 1/2" thick.  Divide bannock into triangular serving pieces by slicing dough 1/4" deep.  Brush with milk and bake for 20 minutes till bannock is golden brown.
