Lately, oat-sesame crackers and whole-wheat biscuits have become staples of my diet, so that I'm making crackers once a week and biscuits twice a week. Best snack foods ever.
I wanted to speed up the time it took for me to make them. I thought about doing the measuring to make a large mix, except that's a lot of math calculations, especially to know how much to measure out for each batch (so that I know how much of the wet ingredients to use). (Yes, I know I can do it, but it was really complex.)
Finally I decided to do it the easy way. I got out a large ziploc bag, and all the dry ingredients I put into the biscuit-bowl also went into the plastic bag. (1 cup of flour in the bowl, 1 cup in the bag. 1 tablespoon of baking powder in the bowl, 1 tablespoon in the bag, and so forth.) Now the plastic bag has all the dry ingredients measured into it, and it's easy to mix. Close the bag (but leave some air in it) and shake vigorously. I made up the biscuit mix in the bowl and put the bag in the pantry.
Today I want more biscuits. All I have to do is take my plastic bag, put contents into a bowl, add margarine and milk/lemon juice, and I have biscuit dough.
And once I get the electric skillet (in which kamut is cooking) off my counter-space, I can actually roll out the biscuits. Then I can put away the rolling pin and get out the oven...
Some things don't change.
