    Title: Whole Wheat Biscuit Mix - BHG
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 48 Servings

    6 c A-P flour *
    4 c Whole wheat flour *
    1/3 c Baking powder
    1/4 c Sugar
    2 ts Salt
    2 c Lard or Crisco shortening

    * It is permissible to play with proportions of white to
    whole-wheat up to just 10% white flour. Any less than 10%
    white flour does not seem to do well for some reason.

    In an extra-large bowl stir together flours, baking
    powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in shortening till mixture
    resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight container.

    To use, bring mix to room temperature if frozen. Spoon mix
    lightly into a measuring cup; level off with a spatula.
    Continue as directed in variations.

    Makes about 12 cups.

    For a four biscuit batch of Basic Biscuits:

    Stir together 1 cup Biscuit Mix and 1/4 cup milk just till
    dough clings together. On a floured surface, knead dough
    gently 10 to 12 strokes. * Roll to 1/2" thickness. Cut
    with a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking
    sheet. Bake in a 450ºF/230ºC oven 8 to 10 minutes or till
    biscuits are golden.

    Makes 4 biscuits.

    * Do not over-knead or you will get tough biscuits - AKA
    "sinkers". My Dad was a master at making biscuits and it
    really torqued my Mom's jaws that she couldn't do as
    well. Bv)=
