Homemade Biscuit Mix




Source of Recipe


Marlisa


List of Ingredients





Recipe using all-purpose flour:


9 cups flour
2 cups shortening
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup baking powder

Recipe using self-rising flour:

10 cups self-rising flour (this already has salt and baking powder added to it)
2 cups shortening



Recipe





You can use either recipe above and come up with the same results. I like to have both recipes available to me because sometimes self-rising flour goes on sale for half as much as the other flour. And when it does, I stock up. The procedure for making Biscuit Mix is the same for both recipes.

Get out a very large bowl, or a clean, dry dish pan. Mix all of the dry ingredients together first. Then measure the shortening by using a one cup measure to scoop up a big gob of shortening. Pack it down tightly, and level off the top with your finger or a dull knife. Your fingers will get greasy, it's alright, you can wash them later. Scoop the shortening out of the measuring cup into the bowl or dishpan. Measure another cup of shortening the same way. You should put a total of two cups of shortening into the flour. Now use your hands to mix the shortening into the flour. It should only take a few minutes before the mixture resembles lumpy cornmeal in texture. Now you are done. Easy, wasn't it?

Store the Biscuit Mix in a tightly sealed canister or clean coffee can. These recipes make about 12 or 13 cups of Biscuit Mix. Use it anywhere else you see Bisquick or Biscuit Mix called for.
