Come on over & check out my recipe for a Quick Baking MIx. Does anyone else use these? I have several cookbooks that show me out to make my own mixes & I am going to share them on my blog!

I have two make-a-mix cook books. I love them! Just recently made a double batch of basic cookie mix. It takes a minute or two to mix it up (and lots of different cookie options) and then presto 2 dozen cookies. So yummy!

I got out of the habit of using them for several years. But am definitely starting back up. Makes my life SO much easier!

Easier & it saves you money! No more buying bisquick, pancake mixes, cookie mixes, bread mixes, etc! One of mine also has spice mixes, hot chocolate, ketchup, you name it! I think they are both out of print but whenever I find one I buy it! They are great!

Karla,

I have one of those books myself and make and use several of the mixes. We really like the Brownie Mix and I always get compliments on the Home-Style Dressing Mix when I take a tray of veggies!

I am looking for a general quick mix that I can make at home, but without vegetable shortening. Does anyone have a recipe?

You have to have some sort of shortening. Are you wanting to use butter instead? Just leave it out & add it at the time of use. That way you still get the benefit of having part of the m,ix ready already!

Years ago, when the kids were at home, I baked with a master mix using a booklet I found called the Missouri Mix. It was much like the mix you buy in the yellow box. I got away from making it, as it was just Dan & I. I have since found the NEW Missouri mix on line using less salt. Check out this website and see what you think. I am going to use the smaller version to keep ingredients fresh.

BTW, I also bake my own bread, an Amish recipe. I place 4 of the 6 cups of flour & all the dry ingred (except the yeast) in a container. I then just have to mix the wet ingred & yeast together, then mix my container contents, gradually adding the next 2 cups of flour. Makes it super easy.

I use my own mixes too, I don't tolerate MSG or aspartame very well, and I like the way mine tastes way way better than any mix. I also think with homemade we use better quality ingredients and less crappy filler ingredients. Check out my recipes here: http://afarminmyheart.blogspot.com/2011/05/dry-pantry-mixes.html

I agree-it seems more & more of our food has words in it that I can't say or spell! Scary!!

It really does make life a bit easier plus I know what is in my mixes rather than chemicals I can't pronounce!

You gals are great. Thanks for sharing all these recipes. I just love it. I agree with ya'll....the less ingredients, the better! That's why I like "Turkey Hill" ice cream....very few ingredients, very natural. Has anyone else tried it? No, ya'll probably make yer own. LOL

Todays recipe sounds like Mexican wedding cakes- I am anxious to see if they taste the same.
