Homemade Biscuit Mix

I changed the oil(grape seed), and milk(almond). I really enjoyed! I would add 5 minutes, because I love a good crunch !🙌🏾

I made this using a 5 qt ice cream bucket for future use. I sub the flour for non-GMO whole wheat flour and also sub the white sugar for non-GMO sugar. I didn’t have any non-GMO or organic salt, baking powder. I could have used organic coconut oil (which I’ve done before and it turned out great! Lots healthier.) which I didn’t have enough so I used veggie oil.

I first experimented with a small batch about half the sized called for in the recipe. I had never made biscuits before and was not sure what to expect. I needn't have worried. This recipe is awesome. It works every time without fail. I especially liked the extra tip to add buttermilk. I used powdered buttermilk (2.5 tbs + 2/3 cup of water) and 1/8 tsp of salt. The biscuits come out perfect every time. They are identical to the stuff you get at KFC or McDonalds only they don't have saturated fat. This recipe is a keeper!

I used a scaled down portion of this recipe for a caraway beer bread (2.5 cups mix, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup beer) and it worked pretty well. I do wonder if I the baking powder amount could be reduced. (I have another recipe for baking powder biscuits that calls for only 1 tbsp baking powder per 2 cups of flour.)

I have a few suggestions to those who are having a tough time with this recipe. *Do not use bread flour *Do not overknead, you want the lumps there. *Make sure you watch your biscuits, it may finish baking before the stated time. Some ovens are more hotter than others. *If your in a hotter climate, try refrigerating your mix until it's really cold before using it in a recipe. *Make sure your spooning the flour into the measuring cup, you may be adding too much flour. *You could try to use cake flour, if you don't have any cake flour make your own: before adding flour to your measuring cup, add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch first, then add the all purpose flour to make a cup-do this for all ten cups. Hope this helps, enjoy! The recipe for biscuits are in the footnotes right under the recipe for the mix.

We did this but added one little step: Instead of kneading the dough we mixed, then rolled it out once with a floured roller, spread a thin layer of softend butter then folded it in half and repeated the process about 6 times. Oh my goodness!! They came out so fluffy and layered. We just loved them. And they're GREAT with jam. Thank you so much, it sure makes biscuits at dinner time much easier.
