How to Make Basic Baking Mix
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
- Cut in 1 cup of shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Alternatively, use a mixer on low speed, adding the shortening 1 tablespoon at a time and mixing well after each addition.
- Store the baking mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks or on the shelf for up to 4 weeks.
- **For a pourable pie crust:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup baking mix, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup of milk until smooth.
- Pour into your pie plate and bake according to your pie recipe's instructions.
- **For biscuits, muffins, or pancakes:** Follow the detailed instructions in recipe #16813 (link to recipe if available).
