Whoever added this could have done with checking the actual source material to find out what's IN the baking mix. It was on the immediately previous page! And it's also not exactly what you'd call intuitive.

For 9 cups of baking mix, simply mix together: 4 cups all-purpose flour 4 cups wholewheat flour 1 1/3 cups instant non-fat dried milk 1/4 cup baking powder 1 teaspoon salt

So, that would make you 45 biscuits, along with 9 tablespoons of oil and 4 1/2 cups of water.

Or, you could make 10 of them to the recipe on this page, but with the slightly trickier ingredients list of:

2 tbsp veg oil, 1/2 cup water, annnnnd... 8/9ths cup all-purpose flour 8/9ths cup wholewheat flour Approx 3/10ths cup instant non-fat dried milk (or, 8/27ths) 1/18th cup baking powder 2/9ths teaspoon salt

The exact amounts these work out to is left as an exercise for the viewer, because damn you people need to adopt the metric system, like seriously. I can never figure out what a "cup" is supposed to be for a particular type of ingredient, or how it then works out into ounces or pounds when the quantities become stupidly small or large, without going through some kind of voodoo ritual. If it's given as grams / millilitres, all I need is a pocket calculator, the divide/multiply buttons, and a bit of common sense as to when to switch up to kilograms / litres.
