Homemade Baking Mix

1. 1

   In a large bowl, blend together the dry ingredients.

2. 2

   Then, with a pastry cutter, a fork or your fingertips, cut or rub in the vegetable shortening until it is evenly distributed and the resulting mixture looks like cracker crumbs.

3. 3

   Place the mix in a large, airtight container (I had a plastic canister that was empty to store mine in, but Ziploc bags work well too) or divide it into pre-measured 2 cup portions.

4. 4

   Don't pack the baking mix into the measuring cup when measuring.

5. 5

   It will make approximately 7 batches of 12 pancakes.

6. 6

   If you decide to include whole grain flours in your baking mix for a healthy spin, you are introducing the perishable oils that come from the germ of the grains that may deteriorate at room temperature.

7. 7

   Mixes made with whole grain flours will best be stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
