Recipes: Wheat Flour Baking Mix

I’ve been looking for a more whole grain version of this baking mix, and I finally found it. As soon as I get an extra small food storage bucket, I’m going to whip up a batch.

4 cups wheat flour, 1/3 cup baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups shortening, 4 cups white flour, 4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 cups powdered milk.

Mix all ingredients and cut in shortening. Store in an airtight container. I got this recipe from the web site http://www.kitchenmixes.com . After I try this recipe once as-is, I’m going to attempt a couple of modifications. First, I want to see if the shortening can be reduced to 1 cup as with the low fat regular baking mix. Second, I want to try this recipe out with other whole grain flours for variety, for example rye flour. Will keep you posted on what I find out.
