Ingredients
Method
- Add the flour, baking powder, nonfat dry milk powder, salt and sugar to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add the solid coconut oil.
- Cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Alternatively, process the mixture in batches using a food processor. Combine the batches thoroughly before storing.
- Transfer the homemade baking mix to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate and use within one month, or divide into two-cup portions and freeze for up to three months.
Pancakes
- Combine two cups of homemade baking mix with one large egg and 1 1/3 cups of milk. Stir only until combined. Cook on a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Makes approximately 10 pancakes.
Waffles
- Combine two cups of homemade baking mix with one large egg and 1 3/4 to 2 cups of milk. Cook according to the directions for your waffle maker.
Drop Biscuits
- Combine two cups of homemade baking mix with 1/2 cup of milk. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
Scones
- Combine two cups of homemade baking mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. Add two beaten eggs, one tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Shape into a one-inch-thick round and cut into eight wedges. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Notes
- Use nonfat dry milk powder, not prepared liquid milk.
- The coconut oil should be solid or softly scoopable rather than melted.
- Use this mix in a one-to-one ratio when a recipe calls for an all-purpose baking mix.
- Avoid overmixing pancake, biscuit and scone dough.
- Stir the stored mix before measuring.
- Keep refrigerated because the mixture contains coconut oil and dry milk powder.
