The Amish Dry Mix Pantry Cookbook: 150 Easy, Budget-Friendly From-Scratch Baking Mixes, Soups, Gravies & Seasonings | Shop Once a Month, Feed a Family or a Crowd, 30-Day Meal Plan & Shopping Lists [Spiral-Bound]

Supper starts with a jar.

Twenty jars on a shelf and you stop planning. Pancakes, or biscuits and gravy, or a pot of bean soup, or chicken and noodles. The measuring was done weeks ago, in an hour, with the radio on. What is left is eggs, butter, water and twenty minutes.

150 from-scratch dry mixes that replace what you are presently buying in a box, a packet or a can: baking mixes, soup jars, gravies, casserole bases, seasonings, pie fillings, puddings and drink mixes. Boxed pancake mix. Gravy envelopes. Condensed soup. Instant pudding. Seasoning packets. You do the measuring once and then you stop thinking about it.

Every mix is written twice in the same table: a Family Jar for meals at the dinner table, and a Crowd Batch that is exactly three times as much. Not because feeding a crowd is complicated, but because the arithmetic is tedious and somebody should have done it for you. Somebody has.

INSIDE

• 150 mixes across eight chapters: The Breakfast Table, The Bread Box, The Soup Kettle, Supper Helpers, The Pie Shelf, The Cookie Jar, Puddings and Comforts, and The Seasoning Shelf and Drink Cupboard.

• Gram weights and cup measures on every line, with the jar size and shelf life printed at the top of each page.

• A 30-day plan built around one shopping trip: four batch days, twenty jars, and a Crowd Day that feeds twelve off jars you have already filled.

• Shopping lists for a grocery store and a warehouse club, plus four weekly perishable lists.

• An index of what each jar replaces, so you can look up the box you are trying to stop buying.

• Real regional cooking: shoofly pie, chicken corn soup with rivels, potato filling, whoopie pies, snitz pie, pot-pie noodles, meadow tea.

Molly Danvers cooks the way Amish country cooks, from the community cookbooks that sit on every counter, from the neighbors, from making a thing over and over until it comes out right.

Start with the pancake jar. It is the one her family empties fastest, and by about the fourth batch it has paid for the flour.
