Quick Bread Mix+++Fggt98 B
Description
This homemade quick bread mix is a kitchen staple that takes the guesswork out of baking tender, flaky biscuits or savory breads. By pre-mixing all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt with cut-in shortening, you create a shelf-stable blend that mimics the texture of fresh-made dough. The secret lies in keeping the shortening cold until use, which creates steam pockets during baking for a light, airy crumb. Perfect for busy mornings or unexpected guests, this mix allows you to whip up golden-brown treats in minutes by simply adding buttermilk or water. Store it in an airtight container for weeks, ensuring you always have a backup for delicious, home-style comfort food without the hassle of measuring dry ingredients every time.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and both measures of salt until evenly distributed.
-
Divide the flour mixture in half, placing each half into a separate large bowl or back into the main bowl if working in batches.
-
Cut half of the shortening into the first portion of the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two forks until the texture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized lumps.
-
Repeat the cutting process with the remaining shortening and the second portion of the flour mixture.
-
Gently combine the two mixtures back together in a single large bowl.
-
Transfer the final mix into an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 6 weeks.
-
For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze the container, allowing it to come to room temperature before use.
