Master Baking Mix is yummy and frugal July 23, 2008
So today I made 8 pounds of a ‘Master Baking Mix’ that is useful with multiple everyday recipes that are in my all time favorite cookbook: More With Less. The master mix is awesome. I love being able to control the salt and sugar content in things like that as well as knowing that there aren’t any yucky preservatives in it. So today I made blueberry muffins and cheese breadsticks to go with dinner. Still lots of baking mix left! I love that I can now quickly whip up homemade waffles, pancakes, coffee cake, muffins, biscuits…. all in like 10 -15 minutes. Awesome stuff. Now, if you do ever decide to make your own baking mix, I recommend not making 8 pounds of it at once. I had the option of 4 or 8 pounds and in my over ambitious mind I thought, hey, why not? sigh. My mixing bowls are large but not that large. The amount definitely complicated the process. But, it’s done and I learned my lesson. Anyway, if anyone would like the recipe for the baking mix and then the subsequent recipes that go with it let me know and I’ll email a word document of it all to you. I think it really saves time and money in the long run to use it and in my book that is just awesome.
