How to Make Homemade Bisquick Mix

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and powdered milk (if using).

  4. Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
  5. To make biscuits: Combine 2 cups of the mix with 3/4 cup of milk. Stir gently until just combined. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet.
