Missouri Mix

Submitted by Darling76

"Here is an all-purpose baking mix that I make up for easy baking. I got this several years ago from my mother in law, and it is fantastic! My husband does not like the taste of Bisquik or other store bought biscuit mixes, but he loves this one, and we save money making our own. It only takes a few minutes to make it up, and then you have it ready to go whenever you need it! Use it in in place of anything that calls for biscuit mix or use it in your own recipe, by using 1 1/2 cups of mix for each cup of flour called for in your recipe. The mix already has baking powder,salt, fat, and milk."

I grew up using Missouri Mix.. As I type this, I'm enjoying pancakes made from it. My Mom would made Coffee Cake every Sunday Brunch (back then we never called it Brunch)

I wanted to make Oven "Fried" Chicken and Biscuits (<a href="/134101">Oven &quot;fried&quot; Chicken and Biscuits</a>) and I remembered I had this up in the cupboard. It worked perfectly. They really made the meal. The biscuits were wonderful and it was so nice to have this on hand. They really did taste much better than the store bought mixes. I'll be sure to keep this in my cupboard!
