Keep handy if you want to whip up some biscuits in a hurry!
- Ingredients:
- 6 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
- 3 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 1 1⁄2 sticks unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
In the largest bowl you have, whisk together everything except the butter.
Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is in very small pieces and the mixture resembles store-bought mix in texture (you’re essentially looking for a coarse meal, with no big pieces of butter remaining).
This is going to take a few minutes and some elbow grease, but have patience – it will get there.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two months.
Use cup-for-cup in recipes as a substitute for store-bought stuff.
