BROWNIE MIX
6 Cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder 4 teaspoons salt
8 cups sugar
1 (8 0z) can unsweetened cocoa
2 cups vegetable shortening
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add sugar and cocoa, blend well. ( I use my electric mixer on low so I don't create a powder storm to mix blend them together) Cut in shortening using a pastry blender, until it is evenly distributed through out the dry mixture. Put in a large airtight container ( I use rubbermade cereal keeper, the largest ones) label and store in a cool dry place. use within 10 to twelve weeks. Makes about 17 cups of Brownie mix.
You can use this mix to make: chewy chocolate cookies, brownies, texas sheet cake, fudge sauce for cream puffs supreme, brownie alaska, and mississippi mud.
