8 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
8 tsp. sugar (optional)
1 c. Crisco

Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Store sealed in pantry or refrigerator.

To use:

BISCUITS - add 1/3 cup milk to cup of mix.

PANCAKES - 3/4 cup milk to a cup of mix, and I like to add an egg also but the original recipe didn't do that.

I add a one quart envelope powdered milk, or 3/4 cup Carnation powdered milk to the whole batch as I make up the mix; and then I just add water when I use it.
