Ingredients




8 1/2 cups Flour, all white, or half white and half whole wheat
3 tablespoons Baking powder
2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 1/2 cups Skim milk powder
1 pound Solid vegetable shortening (like Crisco)

Preparation

1 For all of you poor, unfortunate souls who live in parts of the world devoid of Bisquick, here is a homemade version of it which works in any recipe that calls for the commercial mix. I have used it for pancakes, muffins, and biscuits, and wouldn't dream of going camping without a batch of the stuff. Well, I wouldn't dream of going camping anyway anymore but that's a different issue. 2 In a huge bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients until you"re sure they"re well mixed. Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. This can also be done in batches in a food processor - just make sure you divide the ingredients equally, and don"t over-process. Store the mixture at room temperature in a tightly covered container, and use in any recipe that calls for store-bought biscuit mix. 3 Makes tons.
