| | '''Baking mix''' is a pre-packaged combination of dry [[food ingredients]] used in the preparation of various [[baked goods]]. Designed for convenience, baking mixes combine commonly used ingredients like [[flour]], [[sugar]], and [[leavening agent]]s to simplify the baking process. These mixes are used to prepare items such as [[cake]]s, [[cookie]]s, [[pancake]]s, [[bread]]s, and [[muffin]]s. |
| Baking mixes are produced for the preparation of specific foods such as breads, quick breads, pancakes, waffles,<ref name="Perillo 2013 p. 20" /> cakes, muffins, cookies, brownies<ref name="Layton Larsen 2011 p. 151" /> pizza dough,<ref name="Davis 2013 p. 185" /> biscuits<ref name="Heeren 2014 p. 9" /> and various desserts,<ref name="Qualizza 2014" /> among other foods. Some all-purpose baking mixes, including commercial and homemade varieties, can be used to prepare several types of baked goods,<ref name="Perillo 2013 p. 20" /><ref name="Wilbur 2009" /> such as biscuits, pizza dough, muffins, cookies and pancakes,<ref name="WSU" /> among others.

|
| Ingredients in baking mixes may include flour, bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, yeast,<ref name="Layton Larsen 2011 p. 151" /> sugar and salt, as well as others depending upon the food type. Gluten-free baking mixes may be prepared using [[rice flour]] in place of wheat flour.<ref name="Layton Larsen 2011 p. 151" /><ref name="great 2011" /> Dry baking mixes typically require the addition of water or milk, and may also require additional ingredients such as eggs, butter and cooking oil.

| Some baking mixes are sold in bulk volumes, and the baker measures out the amount needed. In other cases, the mix is sold pre-measured in a commonly desired size, such as enough baking mix to make a particular size of cake. Around 2012, most large American manufacturers of cake mixes reduced the size of their standard cake mixes by about 15% by weight, as a result of rising prices for ingredients.<ref name=":0" /> This resulted in complaints from some customers about the mix making smaller cakes or fewer cupcakes.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.today.com/money/cupcake-conundrum-cake-mixes-shrinking-along-other-favorite-products-6C10798951|title=Cupcake conundrum: Cake mixes shrinking along with other favorite products|last=Popken|first=Ben|date=1 August 2013|work=TODAY.com|access-date=2017-03-06|language=en}}</ref> Betty Crocker and [[Pillsbury Company|Pillsbury]] mixes shrank from 18.25 ounces to 15.25 ounces. However, not all manufacturers followed this trend of reducing the amount to maintain the price; the King Arthur Flour Company, which makes premium-quality cake mixes, continued to produce 22-ounce cake mixes.<ref name=":0" />

| | The origin of baking mixes dates back to the mid-19th century with the invention of '''[[self-raising flour]]''' by [[Henry Jones (baker)|Henry Jones]] in the 1840s. This innovation enabled bakers to save time by combining flour and leavening agents. |

| [[Atkins Nutritionals]] produces an all-purpose baking mix, along with several other foods.<ref name="Businessweek.com 2015"/> Dr. Atkins founded Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. in 1989 to promote the low-carbohydrate products of his increasingly popular [[Atkins diet]]. This diet was developed after Atkins read a research paper in the [[Journal of the American Medical Association]] published by Gordon Azar and Walter Lyons Bloom. Atkins used information from the study to resolve his own overweight condition. | | In the [[United States]], the concept of baking mixes became widespread in the 1930s and 1940s, with companies like '''[[General Mills]]''' and '''[[Pillsbury]]''' launching commercial [[cake mix]]es. These gained popularity during and after [[World War II]] due to their long shelf life and convenience. |

| [[General Mills]] owns the brand [[Betty Crocker]], under which a variety of foods are purveyed, including baking mixes.<ref name="Sutherland 2015"/> [[Marjorie Husted]] was the creator of Betty Crocker. She was a home economist and businesswoman under whose supervision the image of Betty Crocker became an icon for General Mills. In 1921, Washburn Crosby merged with five or more other milling companies to form General Mills. There are a number of Betty Crocker-branded products, such as plastic food containers and measuring cups, and a line of small appliances like popcorn poppers and sandwich makers with the Betty Crocker brand name. It also owns the [[Pillsbury Company]], which makes its own baking mixes.

| [[Bisquick]] is a baking mix brand that was founded by Carl Smith in 1931. At the time, Smith was employed a sales executive for the General Mills, Inc. Sperry Division.<ref name="Jorgensen 1994"/> Bisquick may be used to bake several foods, such as biscuits, pancakes, coffee cake<ref name="Johnson p. 11"/> and other baked goods. According to General Mills, Bisquick was invented in 1930 after one of their top sales executives met an innovative train [[dining car]] chef on a business trip. After the sales executive complimented the chef on his deliciously fresh biscuits, the dining car chef shared that he used a pre-mixed biscuit batter he created consisting of lard, flour, baking powder and salt. The chef then stored his pre-mixed biscuit batter on ice in his kitchen ahead of time, enabling him to bake fresh biscuits quickly on the train every day. As soon as the sales executive returned from that business trip, he stole the chef's idea and created Bisquick.
