I was basically trying to find something to replace my normal Jiffy mix, and this blows it away! The pancakes are sooo fluffy and the biscuits rise so high. What an excellent recipe!

This is great. I scaled it down and only made the amount I needed right then (thanks to another review) and used butter the biscuits were really good. Thank you!

Good Mix. I used this to make "Garlic Cheese Biscuits" and pancakes. Both were excellent. For sweet recipes this doesn't substitute for all the sugar. I substituted oat bran for 2 cups of the flour and used butter instead of shorting. My version needs refrigerated.

A great mixture to have around the pantry. Being from the south we love biscuits like a hog loves slop. So believe me when I say these are good. I make small batches 1 cup mixture to 1/3 cup milk, kneed and roll into 4 or 5 small biscuits. Bake at 450 for 10 to 12 minutes. They are light and have a great taste. Try these you will be happy and you will never buy that store bought mixture again.

I love this idea...no preservatives and I can make whole wheat biscuits. I just substituted 1/2 if the flour with whole wheat flour. Thanks.

This recipe is perfect for me. I am a widow (live alone) and old (don't eat much anymore)! I made just half the mixture, adding a bit of baking soda. I store it in the freezer, bringing it to room temp before preparing the biscuits. I use 1 cup of the mixture with about 1/3 cup of buttermilk (milk with lemon juice), pat it out and cut into two biscuits. Perfect for this old gal!

Lived up to the other reviews here, I will keep this recipe forever for biscuits and pancakes and whatever else I can use it for. Definitely has that KFC biscuit taste which I love. Thanks!

Awesome recipe! So quick & easy...you can even whip them up for a fast breakfast. And the mix stays good in the fridge for quite a while (not that it gets a chance to stay in the fridge!)... it won rave reviews from the crew, especially when partnered with honey butter!

Mmm... I never tried the biscuits by themselves, but I cut down the recipe to 3 biscuits, added a 1/2 cup of milk, and made brown sugar biscuits instead. I rolled out the dough into about a 7x5 inch rectangle, coated the top with melted butter and sprinkled on brown sugar and raisins. Then I rolled starting at the 7 inch side, cut every into inch-wide rolls and cooked it in the oven at 415F for 11 minutes. Made about 5 of various sizes, and they came out crispy on the outside and nice soft inside. I have a hard time limiting myself to eating only two.

I've made this several times, using the recipe to yield 3 instead of 24. (It actually makes 6 biscuits). I also used another users directions and added 1/2 cup of milk and I use butter instead of shortening. They taste great! I combine all of the dry ingredients, cut the butter into small bits and blend it with my hands. Then, I add the milk a little at a time, mixing it with my hands until I form a nice sturdy lump and I knead it maybe 10 times. Some people may roll it out, but I just flatten it to 1/2 inch thick with my hands and cut it using a glass since I don't have a biscuit cutter!

As a finished product this is absolutely great, I wanted a good bulk recipe that I could make ad hoc. However, this recipe is in need of some serious editing for people who dont know what "Use as you would a baking mix" I would suggest to the creator that they add ratios for fluid, baking temp reccomendations, you know the stuff of normal recipes. Taste = great! Writing style = poor 3 stars.

This is a wonderful mix to have in your cupboard. I've been using it for cakes, cookies, loaves and biscuits (recipes I found on this site by ingredient searching under "baking mix"). It sure makes baking a breeze. Thanks for sharing this, Janet!

I made these last night and I have to say that these are the best buscuits I've ever made. I'm not much of a baker so my only complaint is that the directions should have had a cooking temp. and a milk or buttermilk measurements. Thanks for a great recipe my family loved it.

This really is a great biscuit mix if you find the right way to use it (hence the 4 stars). I followed the advice of another reviewer to use 2-1/4 cups of the mix with 3/4 cups of milk. I used half and half milk because I had it on hand. I coated the biscuits with a little melted butter before popping them into the over at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, until they were golden brown.

I made these as directed in others' reviews using about 1/2 cup of milk. I also made these as drop biscuits instead of cut-out biscuits. Went extremely well with homemade honey butter. Definitely plan on making again!
