Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening (butter) until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in potatoes.
Stir in liquids and mix using a fork. Knead gently 8 to 10 times on a lightly floured board. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and pat down to form an oval shape about 1 inch thick. Bake at (preheated) 450°F for 17 to 20 minute.
For Christmas dress up the bannock by adding ¾ cup mixed peel or chopped cherries to the dry ingredients. Mold dough into a Christmas dress and glaze with egg white.
