Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Vegetarian Basic Biscuit Mix You can use this mix in place of commercial biscuit mix; it's easy to prepare, less expensive, and delicious. The mix will keep 3 months in the refrigerator. 8-1/2 cups flour 1/4 cup baking powder 1 tbsp salt 1 cup dry non-fat milk powder 1 pound vegetable shortening Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and milk powder; mix well. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in shortening until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Place mixture in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 3 months. To make biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Combine desired amount of mix with just enough cold water to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board; knead 10 to 12 times. Roll out 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2-1/2-inch rounds. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Makes 7 to 8 dozen biscuits.
