Baking Mix

Homemade Baking Mix

Years ago, I went to a baking exchange and received this recipe for a baking mix.  I've used it ever since for quick pancakes, biscuits, waffles, muffins and coffee cakes.
You will need . . .

9 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup double-acting baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups shortening (which does not need refrigeration)

Sift the dry ingredients together three times.  Cut shortening into dry ingredients until the Mix has the consistency of cornmeal. Store in a covered container at room temperature.  To measure the Mix, pile it lightly into a cup and level off with a spatula.

Use this mix as you would a commercial baking mix product. Pin It
