You need just four common pantry staples to put together this versatile mix. I use it in recipes that call for store-bought baking mix. It's the key to lightly browned biscuits as well as to chunky dumpling soup. —Tami Christman, Soda Springs, Idaho
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the freezer for up to 8 months.

Absolutely the very very very best dumplings I have ever had were made from this mix.

This is my very favorite homemade mix. I don't buy the biscuit mixes in town, and haven't for decades, because they have aluminum in them. This allows me the convenience of a pre-packaged mix, but no nasty stuff in it. I keep it in the fridge. Such a useful recipe.

I was in the middle of making an impossibly easy pie when I discovered I was out of baking mix. Taste of Home to the rescue! I really only needed one cup, so I cut the recipe in half. I threw all the ingredients into a food processor with the dough blade and just let it run until everything was mixed well. It worked perfectly and saved my dinner. I used the leftover mix for pancakes in the morning. Saying goodbye to the store-bought stuff!

I tried this mix out and it was awesome. I plan to make several batches and give them out with several recipes in a pretty glass jar. Thank you so much Tami...

It worked so I was happy! I still need to play around with it to perfect ratio for biscuits.
