Yummy Biscuit Mix

We just love biscuits!!  I can make "good" biscuits from scratch and it doesn't really take all that long but anything to save me a few extra minutes during "rush hour" is worth an effort.
This biscuit mix is super fast, easy and most importantly CHEAP to make!  The biscuits I make from this mix are super tender.

Biscuit Mix:
8 cups self-rising flour
1 1/4 cup dry milk
2 cups shortening

Mix together flour and dry milk.  Cut shortening into mixture with pastry blender.   Store in air-tight container.

To make biscuits use 2 cups biscuit mix and 3/4 cup milk.  Stir together just until moistened, do not over mix!  Turn out onto floured surface, pat out until dough is about 3/4 inch thick.  Cut with biscuit cutter, place onto greased pan, sides touching.  Bake at 500 degrees about 10 minutes.  Brush with melted butter, serve piping hot with your best homemade preserves :)

You may also use this mix in any recipe that calls for biscuit mix.

I will be posting a recipe for my Easy Country Chicken and Dumplings later using this biscuit mix.  You're gonna love 'em!!!
