                        Basic Biscuit Baking Mix:
   9       c            Flour -- sifted
     1/3   c            Baking powder -- double
                        - acting
   1       c            Nonfat dry milk plus
   2       tb           Nonfat dry Milk
   4       ts           Salt
   1 3/4   c            Vegetable shortening
                        Basic Biscuits:
   2       c            Mix
     1/2   c            Water
                        Sausage Biscuits:
   2 1/4   c            Biscuit mix
                        Milk
   8                    Sausage links -- cooked
                        Pimento Cheese Bread:
   2       c            Biscuit mix
   1                    Egg; beaten
     1/2   c            Cheddar; grated 2/3 cup
     2/3   c            Milk
   2        tb          Pimento; drained, diced (optional)

  Stir baking powder, dry milk, and salt into the sifted flour. Sift
  all dry ingredients together until well mixed. Cut or mix fat into
  flour mixture until all particles are thouroughly coated and mixture
  resembles coarse corn meal. Store mix in a jar or can with a tight
  lid. It can be measured into 2 cup amounts and put in plastic bags
  or jars where it will be ready for use. It may be stored at room
  temperature for 6 weeks. Vary the liquids: dry milk solids are already
  in the mix so more milk is not need. You can use fruit juice, water,
  or meat broth for the liquid called for in a recipe.

  The recipes in this Pick-A-pocket book were written for commercial
  packaged baking mix which has no milk so it is the liquid called for
  in recipes. This mix is a perfect substitute. Just use water where it
  calls for milk. (written out of my cookbook)

  Basic Biscuits:

  Add water to mix and stir 20-25 times. Turn out onto a lightly floured
  surface and knead 10-15 times. Roll to 1/2" thickness and cut with a
  knife to pockets shapes or use biscuit cutter to make circles. Place
  in preheated sm and bake 5 minutes or until golden brown.

  Sausage Biscuits:

  Prepare biscuits according to package directions for rolled biscuits.
  Knead dough, roll out on floured surface and cut 8 circles with a
  biscuit cutter. Lay one sausage in center of each and wrap dough
  around, pinching to seal. Sausages will stick out the ends. Bake 5
  minutes or until golden brown.

  Jelly Biscuits:

  Flatten unbaked biscuits with heel of your hand. Place 1/2 ts jelly or
  preserves in center. Fold over and pinch edges together to seal. Bake
  5 minutes or until golden.

  Pimento Cheese Bread:

  Mix all ingredients together until soft dough forms. Spoon into
  pockets. Bake 10 minutes or until golden.
