The shortening/egg mixture should be loose, add the sugar, mix well then add the salt to the liquid mixture.

2 minutes

Add the baking powder then slowly add the flour as needed to reach a proper doughy state, you may not need all of the flour, or may even need a little more based on your eggs and how closely you measured.
