Two recipes for mixes in a jar

I love receiving mixes in a jar as gifts. They always look nice and you know the person took time out of their schedule to put them together for you. I haven't made one yet but after seeing this on in my email today I will definitely be trying it.

This recipe is from I am Baker She also says that you can make it chocolate by adding cocoa powder.

This is another one I can't wait to try

15-Minute Homemade Biscuits
Ingredients:

* 2 1/4 c. homemade Bisquick mix
* 2/3 c. milk

Directions:

1. Mix together homemade Bisquick mix and milk to form a soft dough.
2. Roll the dough out to about 1/2" thickness on a flour-dusted surface. Cut out biscuits with a 2-1/2" cutter -- we use an empty Campbell's soup can with both ends cut out for this.
3. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Recipe yields approximately 15 biscuits.
