- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease 2 baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together until the dough forms a very thick batter.
- (try not to use electric mixer).
- Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon, mashing the mixture against the side of the bowl if there are any bits of shortening not dissolved in the batter.
- Resume stirring until all is mixed thoroughly.
- Drop by the teaspoon 2 inches apart onto the baking sheets.
