Biscuit Baking Mix

This is like Bisquick!

• 10 cups flour
• 1/3 cup baking powder
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 2 cups shortening

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. With two knives or a pastry blender, add the shortening in spoonfuls and cut it in until the mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. If you are using a food processor, start and stop it often during processing and watch carefully.

Keep mix stored in a labeled, tightly closed container. It will keep on the pantry shelf for 1 to 6 months in dry weather. In hot or humid weather, it is a good idea tp keep the mix in the fridge.

This mix keeps well in the pantry so it makes it easy to make shortcake, biscuits or top off a casserole.

Serve warm.
