Keep a look out on the ingredient lists of

those quick bread mixes because there ARE

some good brands out there that do not

contain animal fats and instead use a

vegetable shortening.

 

There is a brand I find at Wal*Mart that is safe

to use, and also one I find in Fred Meyer stores

called Krusteaz that is vegetarian.

 

 

 

Very true but.......... why not just make your own mix for less $$ than the

stuff you buy? Then you know exactly what is in it and exactly when it was

made.

 

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup baking powder

1 cup vegetable shortening

4 1/2 cups cornmeal

 

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Stir to

blend well. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed.

Add cornmeal and mix well. Put in large airtight container. Label. Store in

cool, dry place. Use within 10 to 12 weeks. Makes about 10 1/2 cups of

cornmeal mix. To make cornbread or muffins use 2 12 cups of the mix, 1 egg or

substitute, 1 1/4 cups milk.

 

 

This mix does not take long to make nor is it expensive, however, once you

have it made you will find it does not last long because it is convenient and

you use it more often. Enjoy
