Recipe using all-purpose flour:
- 9 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
- 1/4 cup baking powder
- 2 cups solid vegetable shortening
Recipe using self-rising flour:
- 10 cups self-rising flour (this
already has salt and baking powder added
to it)
- 2 cups solid vegetable shortening
You can use either recipe above and come up
with the same results. The procedure for
making Biscuit Mix is the same for both
recipes. Choose the recipe that fits the
status of your ingredients the best.
Get out a very large bowl, or a clean, dry
dish pan. Mix all of the dry ingredients
together first. Then measure the shortening
by using a one cup measure to scoop up a big
glob of shortening. Pack it down tightly,
and level off the top with your finger or a
dull knife. Your fingers will get greasy;
it's alright, you can wash them later. Scoop
the shortening out of the measuring cup into
the bowl or dishpan. Measure another cup of
shortening the same way. You should put a
total of two cups of shortening into the
flour. Now use your hands to mix the
shortening into the flour. It should only
take a few minutes before the mixture
resembles lumpy cornmeal in texture. Now you
are done. Easy, wasn't it?
Store the Biscuit Mix in a tightly sealed
canister or clean coffee can. These recipes
make about 11 or 12 cups of Biscuit Mix. Use
it anywhere else you see Bisquick or Biscuit
Mix called for.
