A big-batch quick bread mix of flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and shortening. Use it wherever a recipe calls for quick mix or baking mix.

Ingredients

  • 10 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 cups Crisco all-vegetable shortening

Directions

  • Add the sifted flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a large bowl.
  • Add the shortening.
  • Mix until the shortening is spread evenly and the blend looks uniform.
  • Move to a container with a tight seal.
  • If you like, freeze for 24 hours to help keep pantry pests away.

Notes

Use wherever a recipe calls for quick mix or Bisquick-style baking mix. Storage: airtight in a cool, dry place, about 6 months for best quality; freeze in smaller airtight containers for longer.
