Three-Way Oatmeal Mix This is a great mix recipe that can be used at least 3 ways: Mix Recipe: 4 cups rolled oats (regular or quick) 3 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup unbleached flour (un-sifted) nonfat dry milk powder (amount for 1 qt.) 3 tablespoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 pound butter at room temp. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flours, dry milk, baking powder, and salt and mix until well-blended. Using the large bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. With the mixer at low speed, gradually add as much of the dry mixture as possible. Then remove bowl and continue to blend in remaining dry ingredients by cutting it with a pastry blender or rubbing it with your fingers until it forms fine, even crumbs. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
