If you find you are out of biscuit mix, this versatile substitute can be made up in a jiffy.  It will keep for 10 weeks stored in an airtight container in a cool place.  This recipe yields 12 cups of biscuit mix.

8 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups instant non-fat dry milk
2 ¼ cups vegetable shortening (Crisco)

In a large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients.  With a pastry blender, or two knives, cut in shortening until evenly distributed.  Mixture should resemble corn meal in texture.  This recipe can be used in the same manner as any commercially made biscuit mix.
