Ingredients

4 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Salt

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix well.
4 Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder, 2 Teaspoons Salt
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months, in a cool, dry area.

Notes

Measure accurately: Spoon and level the flour to avoid packing in too much and making the mix too dense.
Use fresh baking powder: This ensures your baked goods rise properly and don’t fall flat.
Mix thoroughly: Take a moment to whisk everything evenly so the leavening is distributed throughout.
Label your container: Helps you quickly tell it apart from plain flour when you’re baking.
Store airtight: Keeps moisture out and helps the mix stay fresh longer.
