Biscuit Mix
What is biscuit mix and where would I find it? I saw it in a banana-nut muffin recipe.
--Conne
Hi Conne,
“Biscuit mix” or “baking mix” is simply a powdered biscuit mix (usually containing flour, shortening or vegetable oil, baking powder and salt) that is used to make biscuits, pancakes and baked goods. Bisquick is probably the best known name-brand baking/biscuit mix. You can find biscuit mix in the baking aisle of your supermarket, near the flour.

QuestionDear Betty, I frequently see "baking soda" as an ingredient in many baked goods recipes. Why is this? Is it really necessary? In addition, salt may be optional. If a person is attempting to reduce her/his SODIUM intake can't she/he do without either or both ingredients without really affecting the outcome/taste of the baked good(s)? Thank you and happy holidays! Sincerely, BillMarch 2012
