Homemade Refrigerator Biscuit Mix

Makes 10 cups

If making several batches of biscuits a month, or one biscuit at a time, make a flour-and-fat base mixture to add the milk to at a later time. It will keep several months in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Combine one part milk or buttermilk with two parts mix for any quantity of biscuits from 4 to 40! Once again, more salt and baking powder are added. This dough can also be used in making coffee cakes, pancakes, waffles, and the like.

Ingredients:

• 10 cups self-rising flour
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 5 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups chilled shortening, lard, or butter,
• roughly cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Directions:

Fork-sift or whisk the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and baking powder in a very large bowl. Scatter the shortening over the flour and work in by rubbing fingers with the shortening and flour as if snapping thumb and fingers together (or use two forks or knives, or a pastry cutter) until the mixture looks like well-crumbled feta cheese, with no piece larger than a pea.

Shake the bowl occasionally to allow the larger pieces of fat to bounce to the top of the flour, revealing the largest lumps that still need rubbing.

Store the mix in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use.

Special Orders 

To allow our store to offer the most options as possible we partner with some of our key vendors to allow for Special Orders.

Because of this process, ALL special orders take additional time to ship. If your order contains BOTH in-stock and special order variants your order will ship complete unless additional shipping is paid to split the order and ship separately.
