      1 ts Baking powder                       3 tb Shortening, melted

  Combine dry ingredients.  Add shortening, buttermilk, and water; stir just 
  until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into oblong patties, using 1/3 
  cup batter per patty. Stir mixture frequently to prevent cornmeal from 
  settling.  Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 450 degrees for 
  10 minutes or until lightly browned.
