Ingredients

The Mix (Homemade INSTEAD of bought biscuit Substitute)

This recipe is in response to a discussion about Bisquick subs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Hi Chef-Elaine!) :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

18 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

4 2/3 cups powdered milk

1 tablespoon salt

2/3 cup baking powder

2 cups shortening

1 cup applesauce (**to cut down on fats used!**:)

**may use more shortening (if desired)**

2 sticks butter (NOT margarine)

Directions

In a VERY large pan, stir the dry milk, baking powder, sugar and salt into the flour; mix thoroughly.

Cut the shortening, butter, and applesauce into the dry ingredients until the MIX is the consistency of corn meal.

Place the mix in a covered glass or plastic container and keep in refrigerator or freezer! (must be kept DRY also).

Use within a month from refrigerator or may keep for several months in the freezer.

To make the biscuits: (makes 8-10 biscuits)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To measure, pile the MIX lightly into a cup and level off with a spatula or the back of a knife.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 cups of the mix

Preheat oven to 425.

Stir in just enough milk or buttermilk to form a soft dough.

Knead and handle as little as possible.(important!)

Roll out into floured board and cut into 2 inch rounds.

Bake for 10-13 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should make about 12 batches (of 8-10 biscuits each)

of lovely biscuits!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MUST be stored carefully in freezer or (1 month) in refrigerator.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have been looking for a good biscuit recipe. I am so tired of buying canned biscuits to bake and discovering afterwards I got rolls instead. Great way to ruin planned strawberry shortcake. Going to check out more of your recipes.

IF made by my formula here..you will DEFINATELY
save Money, time, gas and NUTRITION.
Lower in fat and sodium, as well as other additives and chemicals..
Also might sub some of the white flour with wheat?
You think possible?
