Quick Baking Mix

Store in an airtight container. Refrigerating or freezing can extend freshness, especially in warmer climates or if the mix contains butter.

For flaky biscuits, cut the mix into the dough until it resembles coarse crumbs.

You can often substitute quick baking mix for flour in recipes for pancakes or waffles, adjusting liquid as needed.

Check the expiration date; older mixes may have lost some of their leavening power.

Overmixing the dough after adding liquid, which can result in tough baked goods.

Assuming the mix is still fresh if it's been open for a long time; leavening agents lose potency.
