Create your own versatile baking mix at home with this simple and cost-effective recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, powdered milk, salt, and baking powder.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
Add the shortening to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
If you don't have a pastry cutter, use two knives in a crisscross motion to cut in the shortening.
Transfer the mix to an airtight container for storage.
Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness.
