Homemade Baking Mix
Dear Heloise: I remember that you have a recipe for a HOMEMADE BAKING MIX. Would you please print it again so that I can clip it? -- Kathryn, Lubbock, Texas
This is a tasty, inexpensive alternative to store-bought mixes that can be used to make biscuits. You'll need:
8 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
8 teaspoons sugar (optional)
1 cup shortening
1/3 cup milk per each cup of mix
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Store in a tightly covered container, preferably in the refrigerator. To make biscuits, use 1/3 cup of milk for each cup of mix. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. -- Heloise
