How to Make Biscuit Mix
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder.
- Cut in 1 cup shortening (Crisco or similar) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and mix until just combined – do not overmix! The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Store the remaining biscuit mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
