Making your own premade mixes are healthy and convenient. They also save a lot of money from buying them ready made. I like knowing what is IN my food and how it was made. Making my own mixes helps to make meals quickly, conveniently and healthy!
Baking Mix
- 8 cups flour
- 1/4 cup baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups powdered milk (optional)
- 1 Tbs salt
- 1 1/2 cups lard (or shortening, butter)
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender cut in lard until it’s well mixed.
If you prefer to leave out the powdered milk, you can substitute the water in your recipe for milk, rice milk or other alternative. Use in any biskwick recipe.
Hi Kim,
Hadn’t been to your site in a while. Thank you for this. As always, something helpful. I don’t even think i knew there was lard/shortening in bisquik.
Thanks

@ Sandy:
Thanks Sandy! I hope you like it.
I definitely will be keeping this recipe…Will try it on the weekend. Thanks again for always sharing wonderful ideas and information.
Have a great weekend.
Kim,
Just wanted to come back and say I tried the recipe and its great. I went the 1/2 white 1/2 wheat way and we made pancakes with it the next morning – they were great.
Thanks
Again
Blessings to you!
Great video…we still use lard, too, although the trend is to use anything but. To me though, that wonderful flaky crust is worth it…we just don’t indulge too often, and stay active to fight the fat, lol.
Great recipe for tha baking mix, and it will surely be added to my recipe file! Thank you so much, and many blessing to you and the family!
In Him,

PS. I tried to do that “friend” thing, but I must have been doing something wrong, because I never could get it to accep my info…drat it!
I read your site about making mixes. I publish a cookbook called Mix-A-Meal Cookbook. It teaches people how to make their own mixes using basic dehydrated ingredients. This is perfect for people who want to use and rotate their food storage on a daily basis. The website is http://www.mixameal.com.
