Instead of buying Bisquick to make biscuits and pancakes, make your own at home.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 10 cups flour
- 1/3 cup baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 2 cups shortening
Preparation:
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. With two knives or a pastry blender, add the shortening in spoonfuls and cut it in until the mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. If you are using a food processor, start and stop it often during processing and watch carefully.
Keep mix stored in a labeled, tightly closed container. It will keep on the pantry shelf for 1 to 6 months in dry weather. In hot or humid weather, it is a good idea tp keep the mix in the fridge.
This mix keeps well in the pantry so it makes it easy to make shortcake, biscuits or top off a casserole.
Yield: about 10 cups of mix
