A big batch of homemade all-purpose baking mix with flour, powdered milk, baking powder and shortening. Keep it airtight and use it wherever a recipe calls for a boxed baking mix.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds flour
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 6 cups powdered milk
  • 4 cups shortening

Directions

  • Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and powdered milk to a very large bowl or food-safe container.
  • Stir or whisk until evenly blended.
  • Work in the shortening until the mix is uniform with no large lumps.
  • Move to an airtight container.

Notes

Store at room temperature and use wherever you would use Bisquick. Keep airtight in a cool, dry place, use within about 3 months; divide into smaller containers in a warm or humid kitchen; discard if it smells off, looks yellowed, or no longer rises well.
