I followed the recipe exactly and the result in my bowl looks like something I just dumped out of a box. It is definitely not a batter. It is crumbly. Is this the way it is supposed to be?

This turned out SO perfectly! *Note, it is not quite the same recipe as found in "Out of Nova Scotia Homes" cookbook, which calls for 1/4c. of butter (in addition to the shortening.) Also, my recipe includes 2 1/2c of flour, & 1 c. of boiling water, & more spices.
