Awesome Applesauce Loaf Or Muffins Mix
I got this recipe from fabulousfoods.com. It makes the most amazing smelling muffins, and is great as a gift for the hostess who has everything.
Steps
To make the master mix------------.
In a very large bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix together well with a fork or whisk.
Cut in shortening with a pastry blender , or use two butter knives , scissor style.
A wire whisk also works well and is easier on the arm muscles than knives are.
When shortening is completely cut in , the mixture will have a crumbly texture.
Be sure to turn the mixture so that entire batch is mixed completely.
Store in a tightly covered container for up to 4 months.
Each batch of mix makes enough for 4 loaves or approximately 13 1 / 2 cups.
Feel free to double this recipe if your family enjoys this treat as much as mine , or if you need lots of gifts , but you will need two large mixing bowls to do so.
