Homemade Biscuit Mix
Description
This Homemade Biscuit Mix combines all-purpose flour, shortening, baking powder, salt, and baking soda pulsed together to form a ready-to-use base for biscuits. When needed, the mix is combined with milk or buttermilk, rolled out, cut, and baked to produce light, tender biscuits with a flaky texture. Using shortening contributes to the biscuit's flaky layers.
Biscuits made from this mix can be baked at home quickly without measuring separate dry ingredients each time. They offer a versatile bread option for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish.
For substitutions, butter or margarine can replace shortening in equal amounts. The mix stores well refrigerated or frozen for up to three months, enabling advance preparation. Baking at 425°F for 8–10 minutes yields biscuits with a nice golden top and tender crumb.
Ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shortening
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until well mixed, about 5 times.
- Store mixture in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- To make biscuits, mix 3 cups of biscuit mix with 1 cup of milk or buttermilk, roll ½ inch thick, cut into circles, and bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes.
- If you lack shortening, substitute with an equal amount of butter or margarine without changing the recipe ratios.
- Keep the biscuit mix refrigerated or frozen; it remains usable for up to 3 months.
