Instructions: Stir together dry ingredients and sift 3 times. Cut in shortening to a cornmeal crumb mixture. Store tightly covered at room temperature. If stored in glass jars, keep in a dark place. To measure, spoon lightly into a measure cup, level off with knife and use as desired. Do not pack in cup when measuring!

Makes about 13 cups! You can use the mix to make almost any baking recipe you wish!

I like this because it is simple, inexpensive and makes great baked products!I have even made changes to this mix for buttermilk baking which you can find on my culinary resource page.

This mix also makes wonderful blueberry muffins, which you can find a photo and mix recipe on my muffin primer under my culinary lessons.
