Source of Recipe
???
List of Ingredients
4 cups unsifted all purpose white flour
-- spoon lightly into cup and level off
1/3 cup double-acting baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup butter flavor or solid white shortening
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
4 cups whole wheat flour
Recipe
Into a large bowl, sift together 4 cups white flour, thebaking powder,
sugar and salt. This removes lumps and helps mix ingredients.
Cut in shortening with 2 knives, pastry blender, or fingers until it
looks
like coarse oatmeal.
Stir in the dry milk.
Stir in the 4 cups of whole wheat flour; mix well.
Store in covered container at room temperature.
Keeps about 2 months. For longer storage refrigerate or freeze.
Notes: To measure MIX: stir lightly and pile into cup (do not shake)
and
level off. You may use less whole wheat flour and more white flour if
you
wish. Just be sure the total flour used is 8 cups.
Variation
Margarine or Butter Master Mix. Reduce salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Use 1
1/4
cups margarine in place of shortening. Choose a margarine which lists a
liquid vegetable oil as first ingredient for more polyunsaturates. Keep
refrigerated.
The Nebraska Master Mix can be used to make many dishes easily. Unlike
a
purchased mix, this homemade mix allows you to choose your own
combination
of ingredients. The recipe may be doubled if desired.
The Nebraska Master Mix is lower in fat than some but gives very good
results. Sugar has been reduced in some of the recipes, but other
ingredients have been used to enhance flavor. Thus in banana bread only
1/4 cup of sugar is used but more banana is called for than in
traditional
recipes.
Simple meals and leftovers can be sparked up by adding a homemade
hotbread
or other food made from the Nebraska Master Mix.
