Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Fine sea salt
- 1 cup Coconut oil (solid, not melted)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and salt.
Step 2
Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, cut the solid coconut oil into the dry ingredients. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It’s okay to have small pea-sized bits of coconut oil – they will melt during cooking to create flaky, tender textures.
Step 3
Transfer the mix into an airtight container or zip-top bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months to keep the coconut oil solid and extend freshness.
Step 4
To use the mix: Substitute it in recipes that call for Bisquick in a 1:1 ratio. For pancakes, mix 1 cup of the homemade mix with 3/4 cup milk (or a plant-based alternative) and 1 egg. Cook as you would traditional pancakes. For biscuits, mix 2 cups of the mix with 2/3 cup milk and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
