Ingredients

  • 4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ¼ cup Baking Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Butter Very cold, cubed

Instructions

  • Cube the butter into small pieces.
  • Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture looks like course sand. Keep the baking mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 5 cups of baking mix.  Keep the baking mix in airtight containers in the refrigerator or the freezer.
  • You can use half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour to lighten the mix a little bit.
  • Whole wheat pancakes. For a quick breakfast, mix 1 cup of whole wheat baking mix with 1 egg and ¾ cup of milk. Cook on a hot griddle until golden brown.
  • Biscuits. Mix 2 cups of your whole wheat baking mix with ⅔ cup milk. Stir until combined, then drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes.
  • Waffles. I love making whole wheat waffles for my family! Combine 2 cups of mix with 1 egg, 1 ¼ cups of milk, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook in a preheated waffle iron until crispy and golden.
  • Quick dumplings. Mix 2 cups of the baking mix with ⅔ cup of milk. Drop spoonfuls into simmering soup or stew for yummy dumplings.
