I am never without a batch of this mix in cupboard, writes Martha Warner of Lacombe, Alberta. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a savory pie made with leftover meat and vegetables. But try it in any recipe that calls for biscuit mix. Ingredients:
4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 cup shortening |
additional ingredients (for each pie): |
2 cups diced fully cooked ham |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
2 green onions, chopped |
3 eggs |
1-1/2 cups milk |
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard |
dash pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Stir in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield: 6 batches (about 6 cups mix).
2. To prepare pie: In a bowl, combine the ham, cheese and onions. Transfer to a greased 9-in. pie plate. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, mustard, pepper and 1 cup mix; beat just until blended. Pour over ham mixture. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
