Food Tip |
Stir baking powder, dry milk and salt into the sifted flour. Sift all
dry ingredients together until well mixed. Cut or mix fat into flour
mixture utnil all particles are thouroughly coated and mixture
esembels coarse cornmeal. Sotre mix in a jar or can with a tight lid.
It can be measured into 2 cup amounts and put in plastic bags or
jarsd where it will be ready for use. It may be stored at room
temperature for 6 weeks. Vary the liquids: dry milk solids are
already in the mix so more milk is not need. You can use fruit juice,
water or meat broth for the liquid called for in a recipe.
The recipes in this Pick-A-pocket book were written for commercial
packaged baking mix which has no milk so it is the liquid called for
in recipes. This mix is a perfect substitte. Just use water where it
calls for milk. (written out of my cookbook)
Basic biscuits: 2 cups mix, 1/2 cup water. Add water to mix and stir
20-25 times. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-15
times. Roll to 1/2" thickness and cut with a knife to pockets shapes
or use biscuit cutter to make circles. Place in preheated sm and bake
5 minutes or until golden brown.

around, pinching to seal. Sausages will stick out the ends. Bake 5
