Tweet

I love to make homemade mixes. They save time, money and are just plain better than commercial mixes. Homemade Biscuit mixes make a great addition to those giftbaskets for wedding showers, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas or just when you want to say "I am thinking about you". This is the recipe that I use. I keep some in my fridge all the time. I just made a batch this morning. These are great to put on top of creamed chicken or creamed turkey and bake. Yummy! This recipe makes 12 cups of mix(enough for 48 biscuits) Baking Powder Biscuit Mix 8 cups all purpose flour 1/3 cup baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 4 teaspoons sugar 2 cups shortening, margarine or butter. I use shortening I mix mine in my kitchenaid stand mixer. I love my mixer.I mix all the ingredients except the shortening till mixed well then add my shortening. You can also use a food processor to mix it in. If using a food processor. Process 4 cups flour, baking powder, salt cream of tartar, sugar, adn 1 cup shortening until the mix is the consistency of cornmeal. Pour into alarge bowl. Process the remaining 4 cups of flour and 1 cup shortening and using a wire wisk, mix throughly with the other batch. Refridgerate. To make 6-8 biscuits, combine 1 1/l2 cups mix with 1/3 cup cold milk. Stir well with a fork until a slightly stiff dough forms. Drop biscuits from a tablespoon onto a baking sheet sprayed with oil. Bake in a prheated 450 oven for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
