Master Mix

Here is a Bisquick wanna be-- I am giving you the original cut in half.  This can be used in any recipe calling for Bisquick. It stores well.   Mix in large bowl: 4 1/2 c. flour 1/2 T salt 1 t cream of tartar 2 1/2 T bkg pwdr 2 T sugar 1/2 c. dry milk pwdr (this may be skipped and fluid  milk added when mixing later instead of water.) Stir and cut in: 1 c. shortening Store in zip lock bag or air tight container. To make biscuits: Mix in bowl: 3 c. master mix with 2/3 to 1 cup water (if no milk pwdr was added to mix, use fluid milk in place of water) Stir until blended, knead briefly, roll or pat, or drop by tablespoon onto sheet. Bake for 10 min at 400. To make pancakes: Mix in bowl: 3 c. mix 1 1/2 c. water (or fluid milk if no  milk pwdr was added to mix) 1 egg Stir just until moist and fry.
