Hello,
I am a Girl Scout leader who often takes my girls camping. We make our own biscuit mix (lots cheaper than buying a prepared mix, plus more fun for the girls! But, now I've heard the concern that we are not refrigerating the mix when we camp.
We are using olive oil instead of lard or shortening in our mix. Do you think we do need to keep the mix in an ice chest or refrigerator prior to mixing it up with water and using it for biscuits and such? Or is just putting it in a tightly sealed container or ziplock bag and keeping it out of the sun good enough?
