"Bisquick" Mix Recipe

The other week, David wanted me to make a coffee cake for breakfast.  I was all gung ho until I realized I was out of the key ingredient- Bisquick mix!!!
Frantically, I searched the internet for a good substitute recipe.  I came across a few decent looking ones.  So, I mixed some ideas, threw in a few of my own (of course), and created the perfect substitute!  Voila!

"Bisquick" Mix

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup shortening (I used Crisco butter flavored)
2/3 c. powdered milk

In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Add shortening.  Cut in using pastry tool or 2 knives until mixture resembles corn meal.  Stir in powdered milk.

Storage is an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 weeks.  Use anytime Bisquick or a baking mix is called for.
