La Leche Baking Mix
I know that I'm not breastfeeding but I tried this recipe anyway :D
8 cups flour (white, whole wheat, whole wheat pastry or Cornell Mix)
5 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup powdered milk
1 1/2 cups oil or butter or fat
Mix all dry then work the fat in with your fingers. Keep it in the fridge (not so great for those with really crammed full fridges).
They also suggested nutritional yeast but I didn't like the sounds of it, and I didn't have any so I didn't add it. I used 5 cups white + 3 cups whole wheat and I used butter for the fat because I was going to keep it in the fridge and I'm afraid of shortening ever since I read In Defense of Food.
Had to test it out so I made biscuits. 3 cups of mix to 2/3 c of milk plus whatever you want to stick in them. 450 for 7-10 (closer to 7). I tried (of course) Herbes de Provence because it is my ultimate favourite in all of the world. I also added some sharp cheddar and they were good but in a subtle kind of way. I sliced up some fresh tomato and had that on it, yummy. I'm saving one for you, Erin :D

In hindsight, there was too much whole wheat flour in the mix. I had the proportions off and I'm thinking seriously about making another mix with only white flour and then mixing the two together.
You might want to try making this mix with King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour. It is made from white wheat, and is softer and lighter in texture than traditional whole wheat flour, yet it has not been stripped of the nutrition through overprocessing.
