| ½ teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 teaspoon | Sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | Salt |
| 3 tablespoons | Shortening, melted |

Combine dry ingredients. Add shortening, buttermilk, and water; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into oblong patties, using ⅓ 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.
