Homemade Bisquick Mix

I finally found it!  I promised a sweet friend of mine, I would post my Homemade Bisquick Mix recipe for her, and for the life of me, couldn't figure out where I put it.  But I finally found it, and am posting it here, for you all to use, and in part so  I don't lose it again. LOL

This recipe can be used as any other biscuit or baking mix in a recipe.  You may also follow the included instructions to make biscuits, pancakes, waffles, muffins or even cookies!

Homemade Bisquick Mix:
     10 cups flour
     1/2 cup powdered milk
     1/3 cup baking powder
     1/4 cup sugar
     1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon salt
     2 cups shortening

Combine all ingredients (I use my Kitchen Aid) to cut in shortening.  Once shortening is mixed well, the mixture will be crumbly.  Store in an airtight container.   Store for up to 6 months.

Roll out and cut with with biscuit cutter.  Bake at 450* F for 15-18 minutes.

     2 cups mix
     2 eggs
     1 cup milk
Spray griddle with non-stick spray.  Pour onto hot griddle, and flip when you have bubbles.

Waffles:
     2 cups mix
     1 1/4 cups milk or buttermilk
     1/4 cup butter, melted
     1 tsp vanilla
     1 egg
Spray hot waffle iron to help keep from sticking.  Cook on normal settings until desired browning is reached.

Muffins:
     2 cups mix
     2/3 cup milk
     1/3 cup sugar
     1 egg
     2 Tablespoons oil
Fill muffin tin 3/4 full and bake at 400*F for 15-18 minutes

Peanut Butter Cookies:
     2 cups mix
     1 cup peanut butter
     1 cup sugar
     1/2 cup hot water
     1 tsp vanilla

Roll into balls and press in a crisscross pattern with a floured fork.  Bake at 350* F for 6-8 minutes.  Do not over bake.
