Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 4 tablespoons Milk powder (optional for enhanced flavor and texture)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and milk powder (if using). Whisk until all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Add the cold unsalted butter cubes to the dry mixture.
Using a pastry blender, fork, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be sure not to overblend; small chunks of butter should remain to ensure a light and fluffy texture when used in recipes.
Transfer the mix into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage (up to 3 months).
Use this reduced-fat Bisquick mix as a 1:1 replacement for commercial Bisquick mix in your favorite recipes, such as pancakes, waffles, or biscuits.
