This recipe is wonderful. My Mom left me the original recipe book she used while a homemaker 2 for our state . She helped low income families learn how to feed their families on a budget. And she was the Mom of eight, so ; she had plenty of experience. Unfortunately the recipe book isn't in the best shape, But, it is still in useable condition. I am making several batches to give as gifts this Christmas. I will include recipes from the book. And so my family will be able to enjoy the great recipes on a budget. <3

I love this mix and I keep it on my shelf all the time. Imvillont asked for instructions for the mix. To make biscuits,preheat oven to 425. Stir 1/2 cup water into 2 cups mix, stir until just mixed, turn onto wax paper with about a quarter cup of the mix on some wax paper to keep it from sticking, pat into a circle then fold in half, repeat 2 or three times (this makes layers) then cut out with a biscuit cutter, brush tops with milk, bake about 10 minutes, then brush top with melted butter when removed from oven.

I have a copy of the 1966 Missouri Mix 20 page booklet of recipes you can make from this mix. The BEST and easiest coffee cake, Dumplings, Biscuits, Muffins, Griddle Cakes, & Waffles, Fried Pies, Swirls, Cakes, Cookies & the Other Good Things section. I think I wrote to a University of Missouri address to get this booklet - I'm actually going to make the Coffee Cake this Sunday and go see a neighbor up the street that lost her husband recently. We will have some 'girl' time and great coffee cake. I highly recommend this recipe! Horsmodels

This is a great recipe. I've used it for years. It's a lot lower in sodium than the name brand biscuit mixes and you can substitute whole wheat flour (but be sure to refrigerate the mix if you use whole wheat). You can Google "Missouri Mix" and find lots of great recipes.

You use this recipe anywhere you'd use Bisquick or some other baking mix. Now, to make this a "legal" review - this recipe is a great money saver. Buying premade baking mixes is expensive if you use them frequently. Also - we'd much rather know EXACTLY what goes into the foods we serve our families!

Are there any instructions as to what to do with the mix in order to make it into something to eat? Is this a biscuit mix?
use it in place of bisquick or other baking mix in recipes
