Quick all-purpose mix with 28 variations
Do not be intimidated by all the steps. There are really only a few basic steps to prepare the quick all-purpose mix. First, mix the flours, baking powder, and salt. Then, cut the butter or margarine into the flour mixture until it has a texture similar to coarse cornmeal. Store the mixture well-covered in the refrigerator or freezer until you need it. To prepare a variation, mix the base mixture with the additional ingredients indicated in the different options. Spread the dough in a 13x9-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. You can also make muffins; in that case, the baking time will be shorter. There are 28 delicious variations you can make with this same base mix, including options with almond, apple, apricot, banana, blueberry, butterscotch chips, carrot, chocolate, coconut, cranberry, date, fig, granola, lemon, orange, peach, pineapple, peanut, pear, pecan, plum, pumpkin, raisin, spice, yam, walnut, yogurt, and zucchini. This versatility makes it a practical and adaptable recipe for any taste. The nutritional information does not include the additional ingredients, so it may vary depending on the variation you choose.
