Any good cookie or pan mix can be done this way!.
Just sift the dry ingredients and change the milk called for to powder milk and water!.
Cut in the shortening, butter, oil, whatever it calls for and stop there!.
Put the measure of dry ingredients into jars, add your decorative top and a card with preparation instructions on it!. This will include what size bowl to use, how much water and eggs to add, temperature to preheat the oven, whether to grease the baking sheets, and how long to bake it!.
You can do cookies, brownies, blondies, almost any thing even biscuits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
