| 8 cups flour 1/3 cup baking powder 2 tsp cream of tartar 3 T sugar 1 1/2 cups dry milk powder | Mix together thoroughly. |
Hint: I add my flour in lumps so that I know how many cups I have put into the bowl in case I get interrupted or side tracked.
Add to flour mixture:
| 2 cups vegetable shortening | Cut in until mixture is fine uniform crumbles. |
The mixture does not turn brown, I just got some really bad lighting from my camera for some reason. Sorry.
Store in an air tight container in cool dry place. I store mine in a gallon zip lock bag.
Yields: 13 cups mix which makes 45 to 30 biscuits
This mix also makes Cinnamon Rolls, Pancakes, Pizza dough, Pot Pie crust, and fruit shortcakes.
Tomorrow I will show you how to make the best homemade biscuits using this mix…

Ooooh, I can't wait until tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great shortcut! I rarely make biscuits, but how do you use this to make cinnamon rolls? I've always used a yeast dough for those.
ReplyDeleteThe best?! That absolute best?! You promise... because, there was a place that had a sign that read The World's Best Cheesecake on their walls and -- it wasn't... I don't think I could live through another trauma, like that... Will be back to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteLove a recipe for a great mix, thanks for sharing. Excited to see what you make.

ReplyDeletethis comment made me laugh soooo hard! You are very cute Sharlene!
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I would much rather make my own mix than buy it at the store!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I sure wish I could eat your biscuits right now, but I'm on low-carb! lol Have an extra one for me, okay???
