Homemade Biscuit mix

Whenever we had biscuits in our family they were usually made out of a box. You know the kind. We even had chicken and dumplings with these biscuits on top. Then when I came down here to Florida I learned to make southern buttermilk biscuits. I thought my goodness these are the best. I even learned to made my own buttermilk. Now money has gotten tight and I have become very frugal. I make my own boxed biscuit recipe and it easily gets stored in the frig. I not only can make biscuits when I want but also by just adding some milk I can also make pancakes. Also my other half has had terrible digestive problems so much so he had to go the a doctor and I really don't think they know what's wrong. After many different medications I decided to try a different diet. Making as many processed foods from scratch including these biscuits and even my own rice mixes. I have stopped buying margarine and regular veggie oil and went back to old school with shortenings and butter. So far so good. We have found foods like hotdogs and certain processed meats are a no-no. Poor thing is sick for days not able to keep anything down. The heartburn is mostly gone and he isnt running to the bathroom all the time. Over eating also makes him sick like during the holidays he had a little bit of everything and was sick for the next 3 days after that. So now back to the biscuits. Sorry got a little sidetracked there but here is the recipe I go by. And I store it in a huge empty family size jar of mayo.

 Biscuit Mix
 6 Cups of all purpose flour
3 Tablespoons of baking powder
 1 Tablespoon of salt
1 Cup of shortening ( I don't use the creamed or pre-creamed )

 Add the first 3 ingredients to a mixing bowl. Then whisk together till combined. Then with a pastry cutter add your shortening and put it in till the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Put in an air tight container and store in your frig up to 4 months. Use this whenever you need to use "Bisquick" mix. If I have time before the holidays I will post some recipes you can use.
