Receta Master Mix
I finally, after years of searching, found my recipe for
Master Mix. Or at least one of the two recipes
I know I have. I had one written down on a yellow legal pad, but it went
missing a couple of moves ago, and I've been searching for it ever since. At least every time I thought about the mix, I'd look and then get side tracked by something else.
Then I found 'the recipe' and the little sneak was hiding in
plain sight, right between the pages of one of my cookbooks. (I was actually looking for a 7 Minute frosting recipe at the time for this cake,
"The recipe" was in the cookbook I received when I took Home Ec in high
school. It's called Recipes for Young Adults and was put out by the B.C. Sugar Refining Co. I love this cookbook, it's got
just plain basic recipes and a lot of them are really good. I've made the Lazy Daisy Cake quite a bit,
it's one of those quick and easy cakes, you whip it up, it looks great and tastes wonderful. But this is about Master Mix. I guess it's kinda like Bisquick, but so much better because you
know what's in it.
This is one of those very few recipes that I'll actually use shortening in. And as it just so happened, I had some butter flavored Crisco in the pantry. The full recipe actually makes a lot, so I've cut it in
half, and then I keep what I don't use in the freezer and pull out enough to
make one of my favorite desserts from it. And over the years I did refine this a little, cause I
could.

So there you have it, a mix you can keep on hand and use to
make not only my favorite Baked Chocolate Pudding, which I'll tell you about
later on, but you can also use this mix to make Coffee Cake or Donut Muffins
which are really good as well.
