THE MASTER MIX (HOMEMADE BISQUICK SUBSTITUTE)
This recipe is in response to a discussion on the boards about Bisquick. Bisquick is apparently not available in the country where the originator of the thread lives. I prefer to use this in recipes that call for 'Bisquick' rather than purchase it, myself. If stored in the freezer, this will keep for several months. I hope you find this as handy as I do, since I could never keep 'Bisquick' on hand before. If I recall correctly, I think this came from one of my Make a Mix Cookery cookbooks.

I got this scone recipe from Ana Olsen's bake show. Its lovely and rich. Then I decided to make a dry master mix to store in the cupboard ( like Bisquick). Then when I want to make scones, I just measure out the wet ingredients, and mix with the measured dry ingredients, bake and there you are. Fast, and delicious! This mix makes 3 batches.

Tips:
- Use a digital scale for accurate measurements: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for successful results. A digital scale ensures that you add the correct amount of each ingredient.
- Sift your dry ingredients: Sifting your dry ingredients helps to aerate them, which results in a lighter and fluffier baked good. It also helps to distribute the ingredients evenly, preventing lumps.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter or dough. This is especially important for butter and eggs.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense baked good. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined. For cakes and cupcakes, overmixing can cause the gluten in the flour to develop, resulting in a tough crumb.
- Bake at the correct temperature: Every oven is different, so it's important to know the temperature of your oven before you start baking. Use an oven thermometer to calibrate your oven, if necessary.
- Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the temperature to drop, which can result in a sunken or unevenly baked good. Only open the oven door to check on the progress of your baked good in the last few minutes of baking.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to master the art of baking and create delicious treats for your family and friends. Remember, baking is all about experimenting and having fun. Don't be afraid to try new recipes and techniques. And most importantly, enjoy the process!
