Master Mix

---

 Hello Everyone! I would like to take a few minutes to introduce myself. My name is Allison and I blog over at Living Frugal (http://www.frugalityexplored.blogspot.com). I started my journey there in the beginning of the summer shortly after my youngest was born in April. My goal in the beginning was to help other mothers and families save money on their groceries. I love writing, so this was a great idea.

I would like to share with you one of my kitchen secrets.  It’s pretty much a home made version of Bisquick.  It’s inexpensive, quick to make, and it saves you a lot of time when you are wanting something special with your meal.  When I make up this recipe I usually quadruple it and then put the extras in the freezer for later use.  You can find a wonderful version of this recipe at Cooks.com: <a href=”http://www.cooks.com/rec/story/73/” target=”new”>Master Mix Recipe</a>.

You can use this recipe to make cookies, cakes, quick breads, muffins, biscuits, pancakes, dumplings, etc. You can even get creative and make your own recipes! There are so many possibilities and it makes prep time incredibly fast.  I can make up biscuits for dinner in less than one minute and then all I need to do is stick them in the oven!

I used to not make things like this because they would take so much time and I didn’t want to spend the extra money on Bisquick.  Now that I’ve added this master mix to our pantry it is so much easier for me to spoil my family with fun foods they enjoy.  Now, hopefully you can spoil your family too!
