I used to take a 1 gallon pitcher and fill it heaping full of the flour mixture (we pre-made the flour mix to keep up with business) dump in the mixer, then 1/2 gallion of buttermilk and mix. I am a little fuzzy on that one. The dumplins use the same flour mix as the flour mix FYI.. I think the recipe for us to make the flour was (you can cut it down of course) 15 pounds of self rising flour (in mixer) 44 ounces (I *think*) shortening throw in a mixer with a paddle attachment and mix for 3 (or 5?) minutes.
