I've just spent the day compiling and updating all the Buttermilk Biscuit Mixes we have on www.disasternecessities.com! We have long term food storage buttermilk biscuit mixes from Provident Pantry, Augason Farms, Saratoga Farms, and Honeyville. So which is the best? Well... there are, as usual many factors in deciding which is the best. The first factor most people consider is price. Next is Brand Name Loyalty. Next is quality. Next is Taste! Another is shelf life.
| Product | Ounces | Cost / Ounce | Cost |
| Honeyville Bag | 80 | $0.12 | $9.99 |
| Saratoga Farms #10 Can | 65 | $0.18 | $11.95 |
| Augason Farms #10 Can | 46 | $0.19 | $8.89 |
| Provident Pantry #10 Can | 51 | $0.25 | $12.95 |
| Augason Farms Every Day Size | 13 | $0.41 | $5.35 |
Based on our analysis here, the Honeyville 5 lb bag is the winner on cost. But it only has a 1 year shelf life... so if you are really interested in long term food storage and cost is your main criteria, you would go with the Saratoga Farms Biscuit Mix in a #10 Can. Of course, I know a lot of people who prefer the Provident Pantry brand for overall quality and taste. You get what you pay for in many cases.
