Someone posted a recipe for a basic baking mix recipe that you could
use in place of bisquick. I don't particularly care for bisquick, but
have come across a couple recipes that use that type of mix, and wanted
to make up something of my own to use instead. Does anyone have that
recipe? I thought I had saved it. Thank you.

My mom was a fabulous baker and she used shortening all

Apparently only trashy people eat leftovers, too, or ever freeze something
they've cooked to eat another day. Food Snob is just another Food Fool, as
far as I can tell.

Thank you Reg and everyone else who posted your suggestions. I can
try these to see how they work. If I stored it in the fridge, could I
get away with using butter for the fat?

Absolutely. Butter has much more flavor, but the results might
not be quite as flaky. It's a trade off.

Some use equal amounts of each. All things considered, I use
butter. I love the flavor.

Psst ... sugarlips ... LIFE causes heart disease.

It also causes death, if you want to look at it that way.

There were too many generations that lived long, healthy
lives full of the foods that are now allegedly taboo.

Mostly because they went out and plowed the back
forty after dinner rather than sitting on their asses and
doing what we are doing.

And please do not post your picture again.

Once was enough.

I regularly cook more than is needed for a meal. For instance the Chili I
made the other day. I then put serving sizes away in the freezer for
quick meals when I can't be bothered cooking. A lot cheaper than the
store bought ones.

Which short cut?

The processor?

I never considered making it any other way.

Not any faster than butter goes rancid in the fridge, which
is not very fast.

Yes. Butter keeps well refigerated. Hydrogenated fats are more
stable, but they're bad from the get go. They'll eventually be
outlawed.

1. My recipe uses Ghee. In United States, lard was common. Ghee
provides nutty flavor. Some people will add one part butter to 4 parts
lard for flavor in United States. People worried about saturated fats
use vegetable shortening. Vegetable shortenings used to be bad because
of trans-fats. Now you can buy vegetable shortening low in trans-fats,
they are expensive but used by many restaurants. You can look at soft
margarines with low trans-fats.

2. Yes! the Bisquick will go rancid and must be stored in a cooler
about 40 deg F for up to six months. Thats why my recipe makes smaller
amout that you do on as needed basis.

3. Everything is easier with food processor including cutting-in
shortening.

They still are. The overwhelming majority of shortenings and
margarines are still hydrogenated. Note the stupidity about the
subject, even among those who fancy themselves cooks.

Low trans fats are not good enough. You can get shortenings and
margarines with NO trans fats, typically palm oil, not to be confused
with palm kernel oil.

Palm oil shortening is more stable than nearly every other edible fat.

Stupidity is reflected by comments based on limited knowledge of the
subject.
The Saturated fats
Plam oil: 49%
Coconut oil: 86%
Palm Kernel oil: 81%

If Saturated fats are good, then the above oils are good for you.

Oh, of course! Try using lard in another batch and see which one you
like the best. (not joking)

It can lead to it, but it and of itself is not the sole cause. I know
people who lived quite long lives that ate Oreos, and shortening based
foods. Is it good for you? No, but then too, neither is the air that we
breath.

Saturated fats are better than Transfats, period. By hydrogenizing a mono
or poly unsaturated fat, you're essentially saturating it, but unlike Sat
Fat, TransFat has an unnatural chemical make up, and that is where the
concern comes in.
