Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add the shortening to the flour mixture.
  3. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingertips, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  4. Transfer the mix to an airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag.
  5. Store at room temperature for up to 6 weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.
  6. To make biscuits, mix 1 cup of the dry mix with 1/2 cup of buttermilk, knead gently, and bake at 450&# 194;°F (232°C) for 12-15 minutes.
