Low Cost Home Cooking From Scratch
I read (somewhere) that you could make your own ‘Buttermilk Blend Powder’, using powdered whole milk, and I think, it was ascorbic acid powder; but I cannot remember how much to use.
Can anyone help me with this problem, as I wish to make up a Batch of Buttermilk Biscuit Mix to keep on hand for quick dinners?
I will post the recipe for the Mix in the recipes section.
Are you still eating out, ordering pizza or stopping at the Drive-Thru window on your way home to get dinner? Let me show you how simple it is to put delicious, homecooked meals on the dinner table in less time than it takes you to order takeout. It's healthier and a lot less expensive and best of all, it won't take much time at all to prepare these homemade freezer meals.
here is what i keep on hand:
5 cups flour
1/4 cup baking powder
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup butter or margarine
Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Store in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks or in the freezer for longer storage.
Makes approx: 6 cups
To make Biscuits
Mix together 1/3 cup of milk for every 1 cup of mix. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake @ 450ºF for 10-12 min.
*Add any additional ingredients you wish such as cheese or herbs before adding the milk.
* 1 cup of mix will yield about 6 biscuits.
To make Pancakes
Mix 2 cups of mix with 1 cup milk and 2 eggs. Cook on hot griddle.
*As with the biscuits you can add any flavouring or other ingredient you would like, berries, fruit, etc. but I like my pancakes rarely and plain.
