The good news for students who have decided to cook their own meals is that the very ingredient that will fill them up is the least expensive and comes in many different forms.
There is
Bread
Noodles
Cereal
Sweets: Doughnuts, cakes, & cookies
Today's recipe is a basic mix from which other wheat(bread) meals can be made. Some of you may want to make this when you are at home the next time. If you don't have a large Tupperware container to keep your mix in, it will keep just fine in a couple of large ziplock bags.
Biscuit Mix
2 1/4 C Shortening Cut into 12 Cups Flour (7 White 5 WholeWheat is a healthy choice)
1/2 Cup Baking Powder
1 T Salt
1/2 C Sugar (granulated) or (/Brown)--Like it sweeter? use 1 Cup of sugar
2 C Non Instant Powdered Milk or you could use 2 quart pkgs of Instant Milk
Not recommended because it is lumpy & more expensive.
DO NOT USE LIQUID MILK. LIQUID IS ADDED AT THE TIME OF USE.
This mix can be used to make, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, topping for casseroles
Now if you are far from home (or very independent) you can make this mix by yourself. The biggest problem you may have is finding the non-instant powdered milk. Here is a picture of the kind sold at Broulim's in Rexburg. The way to tell the difference between Instant and non-instant milk is Instant Powdered Milk has small uneven lumps and is very lightweight. The texture of Non-Instant Powdered Milk is kind of a cross between granulated sugar and flour and it takes less of it to make a gallon of milk.
Non-Instant Powdered Milk is the kind most families have in their food storage. If you know what you are looking for you'll be able to find it. Don't be afraid to ask the grocer.
Here is the first recipe using the Biscuit Mix.
"Biscuit Mix" Pancake Crepes (thin eggy pancakes)
2 C Biscuit Mix
4 eggs
1 1/2 C Water (Milk is already in the mix)
Mix Biscuit Mix, eggs and only 1 cup of the water together. Let sit while your griddle heats to 400°. Then add the last 1/2 cup of water. Batter will be quite thin so be sure your griddle is level so the pancake doesn't run downhill. (test with water before it gets too hot). An even heating griddle is a must for these but you do not need a crepe pan.
