Homemade Biscuit Mix

I am all about ease and convenience. With that said,  most of the time ease and convenience come at a price. Processed foods do make life so much easier but sometimes the ease is not worth it. I am not sure I want to eat stuff I cannot pronounce or that has a reputation for being bad for you. Unless it`s pie, pie I`m okay with...

I have searched for short cuts and easy tips that will keep things simple and as healthy as possible. And I promise that this biscuit mix is almost as simple as opening the box of the store bought kind. 

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp shortening, oil or melted butter

Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients together.

Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients. If using oil (I have had great luck with olive oil) or melted butter, disperse as much as possible.

Mix well. Use the same amount as you would of the store bought biscuit mix.

I have read that this will keep for four months if stored  in a tightly sealed container in a dry place. I only make enough at a time for what I need. If you don`t feel comfortable storing it like this, you may keep it in your refrigerator.
