copied and pasted from another site the baking mix from Destitute Gourmet a few years ago but after looking at the ratios of what was in it compared to my regular recipes for scones etc ended up doing a spreadsheet comparing the ingredients in scones, pikelets, waffles and pancakes. adjusted the amounts in each recipe so that the amount of flour in each was the same.then looked at the quantities of the other ingredients and came up with my own baking mix recipe. 10 cup flour 18 tsp baking powder 250g butter (or 1/2 butter 1/2 kremelta) 2 tsp salt 2 cups milk powder Sift dry ingredients and rub in fat or whizz the whole lot in a food processor. For scones add 3/4c water to 2 3/4c mix For waffles add 2c water, 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons sugar to 3 1/3c mix For pikelets add 3/4c water, 1 egg and 2 tablespoons sugar to 1 1/3c mix For pancakes add 2c water and 2 eggs to 2 3/4c mix
keep mixture in fridge

Heres my A/Holst B mix recipe. 10 Cups flour 2/5 Cup Baking Powder 1 Tablespoon salt 350gm cold cubed butter Place dry ingredients in food processor. Pulse a few times to mix well. Add the butter cubes and again pulse until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Store in sealed container in fridge for up to 2 months.
