Instead of buying Bisquick baking mix, make your own at home with a few simple ingredients.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 cups all-purpose flour (or 4 cups each all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour)
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups dry nonfat milk
- 2 cups shortening
Preparation:
Mix flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, nonfat milk, and shortening together in large bowl (if you have a large mixer it is ideal to use for blending this mix but it can also be done quite adequately using a pastry blender to cut in shortening). Add shortening about a half cup at a time mixing well after each addition. Mixture will be mealy when mixed adequately.
Put in air-tight container and store either in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use within about 3 months.
Mix 2 cups of Baking Mix with 1/2 cup water. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.
For Muffins:
Mix 2 cups of Baking Mix with 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 beaten egg and 2/3 cup milk. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
For Pancakes:
Mix 2 cups of baking mix with 1 beaten egg and 1-1/3 cup milk.
For Waffles:
Mix 2 cups of Baking Mix with 1 beaten egg, 2 Tablespoons oil, and 1-1/3 cup milk.
Notes:
You can use this mix to make biscuits, dumplings, muffins, coffee cake, pancakes and waffles. It can also be used as an ingredient in casseroles and desserts.
Yield: about 12 cups of mix
