Biscuit mix is a dry mixture of ingredients used for making biscuits. It can be made at home, though it is commercially available. The ingredients used in the biscuit mix are biscuit flour (which may be all-purpose flour), milk powder, salt, baking powder and shortening. Sugar may be included for making sweet biscuits. All the ingredients except shortening are blended together in a food processor. Shortening is added later and mixed till the mixture attains a coarse consistency with small pea-like structures. The Biscuit mix may be stored and used as and when required. Biscuits mixes of different types may be made with the addition of other ingredients like cocoa, nuts, dry fruits, etc.
