Biscuit Baking Mix

9 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup baking powder 1 Tbsp. salt 2 cups shortening

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the freezer for up to eight months.

Place mix and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Stir in milk just until moistening. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10–15 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 15–17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 biscuits
