Directions:Stir baking powder, salt, cream of tartar and sugar into flour.
Sift together three times into a large mixing bowl or onto a large square of plain paper.
Cut in shortening until Mix is consistency of corn meal. Store in covered containers at room temperature.
To measure the Master Mix, pile it lightly into cup and level off with a spatula.
If the Master Mix is to be used largely for cakes and cookies, starting with a box of cake flour will save measuring the flour and will give better-textured products.
For about 12 cups of Mix, use a box of cake flour (2 pounds), 1/3 cup baking powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 3/4 pound (1 3/4 cups) shortening.
Containers which are convenient for storing Master Mix are two-quart fruit jars, cottage cheese cartons, lard or potato chip cans and canisters. |

Notes: What is a Master Mix?
It’s a recipe (like Bisquick) that can be used as a starter to make biscuits, muffins, pancakes, and pizza dough. Use it in place of boxed and store-bought commercially prepared items. Recipes prepared using the Master Mix below as directed can be counted as a whole grain rich food. Making the recipes can also be a fun activity to do with the children!
The Master Mix can be used in many products which have similar basic proportions. Use the Master Mix instead of the flour, salt, baking powder and shortening.
Two cups of Mix contain a little less than 1 1/2 cups of flour, about 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little more than 1/4 cup shortening.
