[at-l] Biscuits - a trip report
The recipe I offered OB was my basic trail mixture, which I prepare at home, and either carry it with me or include in any mail drops. For trail use skip the buttermilk and baking soda and add two teaspoons of baking powder and a couple of spoons of powdered milk. I used to cut in Crisco. Now I leave the fat out and add olive oil on the trail. Butter or margarine improves the flavor, but I'm cutting back on such fats.
Mixed with a half cup of water, the concoction makes biscuits. Add a full cup of water and it becomes a base for blueberry pancakes. It's adapted from the 60's home preserving guide, "Putting Food By." That book calls it a homemade bisquick mixture and has directions for making several pounds at a time.
