Buttermilk Biscuit Mix

Having a homemade buttermilk biscuit mix ready in your pantry is a game-changer for quick and delicious baking. It saves time and ensures you can whip up fresh biscuits whenever you want, without the hassle of measuring out ingredients each time.

Why Make Your Own Mix?

Making your own biscuit mix allows you to control the quality of ingredients. You can choose organic flour, adjust the salt to your taste, or even add a touch of your favorite herbs for a unique twist. Plus, it’s cost-effective and reduces waste from store-bought packaging.

Storage Tips

To keep your mix fresh, store it in an airtight container. A cool, dry pantry is ideal, but if you live in a humid area, consider refrigerating or freezing the mix. Label the container with the date and contents to keep track of freshness.

Quick and Easy Baking

With your mix on hand, baking biscuits becomes a breeze. Just add water, mix, and bake. In no time, you’ll have fluffy, golden biscuits ready to serve. Whether it’s for breakfast, a side for dinner, or a snack, this mix makes it easy to enjoy homemade goodness.

Customizing Your Biscuits

Once you’ve mastered the basic mix, feel free to experiment. Add cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough for different flavors. This flexibility makes homemade mixes a versatile addition to any kitchen.

Conclusion

Creating a buttermilk biscuit mix for your pantry is a simple step that pays off in convenience and taste. It’s an easy way to ensure you’re always ready for guests or a sudden biscuit craving. Give it a try and enjoy the satisfaction of homemade baking with minimal effort.

Prep Time 10 minutes mins

Cook Time 15 minutes mins

Servings 3 batches

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup buttermilk powder
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup shortening

Instructions

 

• Choose a method and combine flour, buttermilk powder, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda until fully combined. Add shortening, cut into small cubes, and work into the dry ingredients until the mixture is the texture of coarse crumbs or very lightly dampened cornmeal.

To make one batch of biscuits

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place on a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• Combine 2 cups of biscuit mix and 7 tablespoons (½ cup minus 1 tablespoon) of milk. Mix to a cohesive dough. If dry, add 1 more tablespoon of milk. Place on floured counter and roll or press into a rectangle ½ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down, and pulling straight back up, without twisting the cutter.
• For drop biscuits, mix dough as directed and, using a medium scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup, portion out biscuits onto a lined sheet pan.
• Place biscuits on lined sheet pan, brush with melted butter and bake at 450° for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Brush with more melted butter and enjoy.

Notes

Makes 6 cups, or enough mix for 3 batches of biscuits. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
