Baking Mix
Originally posted by boxergurl

8 c. flour (whole wheat or whole wheat pastry) (I used Bob's Red Mill Pastry Flour)
5 T. baking powder
1 T. salt
1 to 2 c. dry powder milk (nonfat dry milk)
1 1/2 c. oil
Optional: 1/2 c. nutritional yeast (I did not include this)

Combine dry ingredients well in a large bowl. Cut in oil with fingers to make fine crumbs. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Makes 11 cups.

Hi-protein: In place of 8 c. flour, use 5 1/2 c. ww flour, 1 c. soy flour and 1 1/2 c. wheat germ.
Whole grain: In place of 8 c. flour, use 5 c. ww flour, 1 c. bran, 1 c. wheat germ and 1 c. oatmeal or oat flour, rye flour, or other whole grain flour.

To make biscuits:
3 c. baking mix (from above recipe)
2/3 c. milk or water
Optional: grated cheese, herbs or spices

Stir milk into mix just until moistened. Knead briefly on floured surface; roll or pat out to 1/2" thick and cut into biscuits. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes.

Drop biscuits: Use 1 c. milk and drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake as above. Makes 18 2" biscuits.

My family really enjoys biscuits from this mix. I wonder if anyone has used this mix to make dumplings ? One cup of mix combined with 1/3 c. skim milk, drop by spoonfuls onto boiling stew cover tightly simmer 15 minutes.

What are your thought on using dried buttermilk in this recipe and how much? If anyone wants to add the yeast, I think that I would add it when you actually use the mix.
