My big batch all purpose mix!

Here it is folks. The made from scratch, mix that will replace those store bought, not so 

good for you mixes. I use this mix for: pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and even coating for 

meats. This recipe makes a BIG batch, hence the name. 

My big batch all purpose mix
8 cups all purpose flour (you can use half whole wheat flour if you want)
4 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp sugar
1 cup shortening

Measure 8 cups of flour into a very large bowl.

Add sugar.

Add  salt and baking powder.

Whisk all together.

Add shortening.

Using a pastry cutter, or two butter knives, work the shortening into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs.

Then scoop into a container. I use a repurposed pickle jar, but you can use a plastic zipper bag.

To make pancakes or waffles - use 2 cups mix, 2 eggs, and 1 cup milk.
To make biscuits - use 2 1/4 cup mix, and 2/3 cup milk. Roll out, cut, and bake at 450° for 10 minutes.
Use in place of breadcrumbs when baking chicken.

There you have it! Please let me know how you like it.
