Instructions
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until it proofs.
Stir in flour, shortening, honey and salt until water is absorbed and dough cleans the side of the bowl.
Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead lightly until easy to handle.
Roll 1/4 -1/2" thick, adding flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Cut into 3 1/2" circles using a cookie cutter.
Sprinkle ungreased baking sheet with cornmeal and place circles 1" apart on cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with cornmeal.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Dough should be light and slightly puffed (it will not double).
Heat ungreased electric griddle to 375 degrees.
Cook circles until deep brown, about 5 minutes on each side; cool. (Griddle heat may vary)
Split with fork to serve. Toast and spread with butter or jam.
