Biscuit Mix
9 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shortening
Mix flour, dry milk, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until particles are the size of coarse cornmeal. Refrigerate in airtight container up to 1 month. Makes 12 cups of mix.
Biscuits
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Stir 2 cups Biscuit Mix and 1/2 cup cold water until mix is moistened and a soft dough forms.
Smooth dough into a ball on lightly floured cloth or floured board. Knead lightly 5 times. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick and cut with floured 2-inch cutter. Bake on un-greased baking sheet until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Makes around 10 to 12 biscuits.
Drop Biscuits: Increase water to 2/3 cup. Do not knead the dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet and bake as above.
Square Biscuits: Roll dough 1/2 inch thick into a rectangle, 8x6 inches. Cut into 2-inch squares with floured knife. Bake about 12 minutes.
