Whole Wheat Baking Mix


Sometimes you just feel like comfort food.  But, then you realize that your old comfort food was loaded with refined sugar, refined flour and trans fats.  There's only one thing left to do... remake it!  Here is my version of "Bisquick."  I wanted this to be as close to the original in taste, but with real ingredients, aka processed free.

Whole Wheat Baking Mix


4 cups whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour (sprouted is best if you can find it)
2 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 Tbsp sea salt
3/4 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup butter (cold and in small pieces)

The easiest, quickest, and best way to mix this is in a food processor.  Just pour everything in and hit pulse until the butter has disappeared.  It's super fast and creates the perfect texture.  If you don't have a food processor, don't worry, you can mix it by hand.  Pour everything together in a large bowl and use a pastry cutter to smashing the the lumps of butter until they are completely gone.  It takes a few minutes, but this will happen.  And you're done!

This makes about 5 1/2 cups of baking mix.  Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator or keep it in the freezer (like I do) to always have it on hand.  Use it the same way you use any all purpose baking mix.  Look for more posts on how I use this baking mix in lots of different ways!
