Homemade Baking Mixes

By Dawn Hall, author of the Busy People’s Cookbook Series

Use these mixes only as directed in my recipes. I do not know how well they will work in your own recipes, since I have not tested them. Also, do not interchange the whole wheat for the all-purpose mix or vice versa, because these mixes have been tested only as directed in each recipe. I cannot guarantee a quality product when baking mixes are substituted for each other and not used as directed.
 
3     cups all-purpose flour
1/2  cup Splenda granular
2      teaspoons baking soda
 
Combine the flour, Splenda, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a fork or wire whisk.

Store in a plastic zip-top bag or sealed container until ready to use.
 
Variation: Homemade Whole Wheat Baking Mix: Simply substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. This mix should be stored in the freezer or refrigerator, because whole wheat flour has a small amount of fat and it could spoil.
