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.

MASTER SCONE MIX
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 kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This is the most accurate way to measure and will help you avoid over- or under-measuring.
- Cream together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and make your baked goods lighter and more tender.
- Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can make your baked goods tough.
- Bake your goods until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is the best way to ensure that your baked goods are cooked through.
