  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon shortening over medium-high heat. When hot, drop spoonfuls of cracker mixture into skillet, shaping into 5-inch pancakes. Fry until brown and crispy on each side (about 3 minutes). Add more shortening to skillet if necessary. Serve hot with maple syrup. Makes about 12 flitters.
