Here are a couple of prep ahead mixes from my old stash. NOT Gluten Free, but I am sure they could be adjusted.

Bake Quick Mix

8 cups flour
5 Tablespoons baking powder
3 cups dry milk
1 Tablespoon salt
¼ cup sugar
2 cups vegetable shortening

-----------------------------------------------------

Buttermilk Quick Mix

10 ½ cups flour
1 cup buttermilk powder
½ cup sugar
¼ c baking powder
1 Tablespoon soda
1 ½ Tablespoons salt
2 cups vegetable shortening

--------------------------------------------
Instructions are the same no matter which you do. Basically mix all the ingredients together using an electric mixer. You can use it just like Bisquick or other easy baking mix. They suggest you use it within two months or store it in the freezer to keep it fresh due to the shortening in the mix.
