How much flour?

I'll check back later for the flour amount. Certainly looks like it is worth a try.

OOPS, 6 cups flour

I have used this many times and it works fine, and cheaper than Bisquick, I also use Jiffy which is cheaper.

Thank you for taking the time to post! I have a question..... Is this mix as good for hot cakes and waffles as Bisquick is?

Thank you.

Good recipe, I have had this for years. Don't remember where I got it.

I have a similar recipe except mine call for 1 cup of milk powder as well. I used to use it all the time, especially for the "impossible" pie recipes.

I made jam and this biscuit mix one year for Christmas gifts for my co workers. It worked out great. Just put it in pint jars and tied a ribbon around jar. Everyone loved it. Nice gift idea. Just make sure you tell them to keep in refrigerator
