Oatmeal Mix & Oatmeal Muffins

from Make-a-Mix Cookbook by Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward, and Madeline Westover pp.12 & 56
Makes 9 cups mix & 3 batches (12-ct) muffins

Oatmeal Mix
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teas baking powder
1 1/2 teas salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
3 cups rolled oats (I use old fashioned)

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in brown sugar. Mix well. With a pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed. Stir in oats and mix well. Put in a large airtight container.

*This mix also makes pancakes, cookies, oatmeal bars, and a few other things... none of which I have tried.

Oatmeal Muffins
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
3 cups oatmeal mix

Preheat oven to 400. Grease muffin pans . Combine mix, egg, and milk and stir until just moistened. Fill muffin tins and bake 15-20 minute until golden brown.
