2 Tbsp. baking powder

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir with whisk to fully mix. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or hands. Store mix in airtight container.

Place 2 C. tortilla mix in a bowl, making a well in the center. Add 1/2-3/4 C. warm water, a little at a time, mixing until you have a soft dough.

Dip dough balls in flour and roll out thinly.

Cook on preheated dry griddle until top begins to bubble, Flip and cook for about 15 seconds more.

1/2 cup cornstarch 

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Put in an airtight container to store. To Make the Gravy:. Take a couple Tbsp. of bacon drippings and heat in a pan over medium heat.

Add 1-1/2 cup milk and whisk well.

Cook until thickened. Scraping the bottom of the pan often so not to scorch your gravy. If your gravy does scorch, toss out and start over. Nothing worse than burnt gravy!

Note from Granny... I, personally, had never heard of "instant flour" (had to Google it!)... it's a thing! So, if, like me, you never heard of it...

"Instant flour is low-protein flour that has been "pregelatanized" so that it can dissolve quickly and smoothly in liquids, regardless of temperature. It's usually used to to thicken gravies, sauces, and soups, but it's also occasionally used in baking."

Dry Mixes in a Jar... Biscuit Mixes

Dry Mixes... these mixes are not for canning, but may be stored in canning jars.

Bisquick Copycat

from copy cat cook book 

8 cups flour 

1-1/4 c. nonfat dry milk 

1/4 baking powder 

1 Tablespoon salt 

2 cups shortening 

Combine flour, milk, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Store in tightly closed covered container in a cool place. Makes about 10 cups.

Biscuit Mix 

9 cups all­purpose flour 

1-1/2 Tbsp sea salt 

1/4 cup baking powder 

2 cups vegetable shortening (such as Crisco) 

Optional add­ins: Garlic powder, onion powder, herbs, cinnamon and sugar, etc. 

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients until well mixed. Measure out and add in vegetable shortening and dig in! Meaning, take off any rings or other jewelry and get your hands down in it and start mixing. Continue mixing until it resembles course crumbs and holds together when squeezed. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 12 cups 

To make biscuits I use 2 cups mix to 2/3 cup milk or water. I have used water when making biscuits to go on top of a pot pie or something similar but milk when I'm making biscuits to eat just as biscuits. Other than that, I use it cup for cup in recipes that call for biscuits. Works perfectly! I like to use whole wheat and the biscuits are more dense than regular but still good.
