  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 cups shortening

  • 1-1/2 cups Pancake Mix
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in an airtight canister at room temperature. Yield: 8 batches.
