Again, this has nothing to do with the Philippines but I send it for those interested..
(source unknown to me) Part of my 25000 recipes or more 8 cups flour (4c. Unbleached flour and 4c. Whole wheat) [Flour in the RP does work]
1/4 cup double-acting baking powder [calumet works too]
4 tsp. Salt
1 cup shortening (can substitute oil, and keep mix refrigerated)
1 and 1/3 cups dry powdered milk
In large bowl, blend together: 4 c. unbleached flour, salt, and baking powder. Add shortening and cut in with pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work out your aggressions here, with that tool - one of my favorite workouts! Stir in powdered milk, then whole-wheat flour. Store in an airtight container or heavy duty Ziploc bag (keeps about 2 months). Refrigerate, if using oil instead of shortening. For longer storage, you can freeze it.
HOW TO MEASURE AND USE MULTI-PURPOSE MIX:
Stir and fluff mix in its storage container, lightly spoon into measuring cup. Level with a butter knife. Don't pack the cup, or the resulting product will be tough and dry.
BAKING SECRET: For a completely nonstick baking surface with absolutely NO cleanup, use parchment paper on your pans (metal, glass, or otherwise). For cakes, I cut the parchment paper to fit perfectly in the bottom of the pan (even for round pans), and I never have a cake stuck in the pan again. After the cake cools, turn it out of the pan, then peel off the paper and voila`. I get my parchment paper at Wild Oats' Supermarket in Sacramento. It's worth every penny - you can even reuse pieces of it that aren't burnt or dirty (I reuse most of them). [I have not tried the recipe with lard but will in February when I get back to Marinduque]
Can be used for about anything that you would use bisquick for..

I don't think it's worth it. Just mix your own from a recipe in an
old fashioned cookbook, like Joy of Cooking or Better Homes and
Garden. Pancake batter is just flour, baking powder, oil and egg.
Better fresh.
It's better to bring a stack of cookbooks that are from scratch, that
you will need if you insist on American style (or French, German,
whatever). I personally love filipino food, but do get cravings when
I am there for stupid stuff like a real burger. With the cookbooks,
you can teach your maid how to re create what you crave.
