1 T salt
2 t cream of tartar
1 t baking soda
1 1/2 instant non-fat dry milk
2 1/4 c shortening
Sift together all dry ingredients. Blend well. With pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixed well. Will look like cornmeal in texture when completely mixed. Use like typical Biscuit mix. To make biscuits, use 3c mix to 3/4c milk or water.

Roll Mix
10 c flour
2/3 c sugar
2 t salt
1/2 c instant nonfat dry milk
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Store in large airtight container. Use within 6-8 months.

Make the following recipes with the above Roll Mix recipe:
Pan Rolls
1 T yeast
1 1/2 c warm water
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c melted butter
5-6 c roll mix (above)
Put roll mix in breadmaker, form well in center of mixture. Add yeast. pour over water, butter and eggs. Set on "dough" setting and process. Grease 13/9 or 2 9-inch round pans. Punch down dough. Form dough into desired size/shape, barely touching. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 until lightly brown, about 15 minutes.

Swedish Twists
1 pkg yeast
1 c buttermilk
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 c melted butter
2 eggs
4 1/2 c roll mix (above)
3 T softened butter
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1 t cinnamon
Put buttermilk in pan and bring to boil-buttermilk will curdle. Add baking soda, melted butter and eggs. Mix well. Put roll mix in breadmaker. Make well in center of mixture; add yeast. Pour over buttermilk mixture (make sure it has cooled to room temp). process on "dough" setting. When finished, punch down dough. Roll out into 12/20 rectangle. Spread over 3 T softened butter over 1/2 the length. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over butter. Fold half dough over cinnamon, so that rolls are 12x10. With a pizza cutter, cut the folded lengths into desired strips. I do 18 3/4 inch slices and cut them in half for shorter, smaller pastries. You can do them about 1 inch, and keep them long for 12 very large pastries. Let them rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Make glaze while baking: 1 1/2 c powdered sugar, 1 T softened butter, 2 T hot water. Mix together, frost while rolls are still warm.

Pour water over soup mix, stir to completely dissolve and let cool to room temp. Put roll mix into breadmaker. Make well in center of dry mixture and put yeast in well. Mix egg and oil with soup mixture and pour over dry ingredients in breadmaker. Set breadmaker to "dough" and process. When done, punch down dough and form into desired size balls. (Dough will double). Place balls on greased cookie sheet. Let balls raise to about double, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops with melted butter.
