6 c. flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. salt
1 c. shortening
1 c. powdered milk

Mix ingredients well with electric mixer and store in covered container (this amount is just right for a 2 pound coffee can). When ready to use, add desired amount of water to 2 cups biscuit mix to make 10 or 12 biscuits. If no oven is available bake over low heat in lightly greased heavy iron skillet with lid. Turn biscuits once.
