Did you know you can make your own “better than Bisquick” recipe at home? making your own homemade baking mix is very easy and you can store it in your freezer or refrigerator and it will be good for 2-3 months. A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago, you can use it in any recipe calling for Bisquick such as biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles or any other type of dish.
Homemade Baking Mix
Ingredients:
8 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 ½ cups non-fat dry milk powder
2 ¼ cups shortening
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir the dry ingredients together. Mix thoroughly.
Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mix is the consistency of corn meal.
Place the mix in a covered container and keep it in a cool, dark place. In warm weather it should be refrigerated. I keep my container in the refrigerator. Makes about 13 cups. Remember to label your container with the date!
This baking mix can also be stored in the freezer. It’s a wonderful mixture to have on hand. Perfect for making all sorts of things!
