I first posted this recipe a couple years ago and I am reposting for my new readers. You can make many recipes with it, including Parmesan Biscuits, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and muffins, saving you time and money. Use it any time you see a recipe calling for Bisquick or a baking mix. I store mine in a large glass jar. Cut the recipe in half for smaller families since you mix the shortening into it and you don't want to keep it for extended periods of time.
Ingredients:
8 cups flour
1-1/4 cups nonfat dry milk powder
1/4 cup baking powder
1 Tbsp. salt
2 cups solid vegetable shortening
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine flour, milk, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in shortening until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal and the shortening is evenly distributed. Store in tightly closed covered container in a dark, cool place.
Pancakes Using Mix
Ingredients:
2 cups Homemade Baking Mix
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
Preparation:
In medium bowl, blend together the baking mix, egg, water, and buttermilk just until combined. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Pour by 1/4 cup measures onto lightly greased hot griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on surface and edges look dry. Flip pancakes and cook 1-2 minutes on second side. Makes 12-15 pancakes.
Parmesan Biscuits Using Mix
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups Homemade Baking Mix
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine baking mix, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, chives and thyme in large bowl. Cut 1/4 cup butter into 1/4" pieces. Add butter pieces to mixture and blend with fork until small, fine particles form. Add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Turn dough out onto flour coated work surface. Shape into a ball; knead gently five or six times. Roll dough 1/2" thick and cut with 2" biscuit cutter dipped in flour or baking mix. (I use a glass in the size I want the biscuit) Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Place biscuits on lightly greased baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees F or until light brown. Remove to wire rack to cool for 3-4 minutes, then serve hot. Makes 10-12 biscuits
Chocolate Chip Cookies Using Mix

2-1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
4 cups Homemade Baking Mix
1/2 cup ground oatmeal

Drop by teaspoon 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake about 12-15 minutes until light brown. Remove to wire rack to cool. Makes 4 dozen.
