Buttermilk Biscuit Pre-mix

Keeping this pre-mix on hand will always ensure that you can whip up a delicious batch of biscuits in no time flat!

 

  • 8 cups flour; (can be a mix of wheat and white)
  • 1- 1/2 cups buttermilk blend powder
  • 4 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar, optional
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 -1/3 cup shortening

Mix all dry ingredients well; then add the shortening, cutting it in until the mix looks like bread crumbs.
Place all in an airtight container and keep in a cool place, or the freezer.

Will keep well for at least 6 months.
Makes 13 1/2 cups
I use 2 cups to make a batch of biscuits.

    What do you mix with it to finish making the biscuits? A cup of water?

    Thanks for the recipe!

      I love this! I use it just like Bisquick mix, 2c. mix with 1 cup of milk, mix into a soft dough. Knead a few times on the counter, pat out and cut w/biscuit cutter. Bake at 450* for abt 12-15 min.
      Oh, and I DO like to butter my pan and put melted butter on the tops of the biscuits before baking (but you don’t have to.. ;-) )

    Waiting for the answer to “what to add to finish making the biscuits”.

    With the buttermilk powder, you would use at least 1/2 cup of water to 2 cups of mix. Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine ingredients and mix for 30 seconds or just until mixture comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured board; knead 10 times and cut into rounds using a floured biscuit cutter. Arrange biscuits on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 7-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown (depends upon size of biscuits).
