My Master Mix (13-Cup Batch)

This is Purdue's Master Mix, enriched with whole dried milk. Ive posted the large batch as well, but not all households are as big (or hungry) as mine. Substitute whole wheat (pastry) flour for up to half of the all-purpose flour, if desired. To use the large batch recipe, see My Master Mix
