Sift dry ingredients together into a large bowl, mixing well. With a
pastry blender, cut in the shortening until evenly distributed. Mixture
will resemble cornmeal in texture. Put in a large airtight contaniner and
label Gingerbread Mix. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 10 to 12
weeks.
Makes about 13 cups of mix.
