Homemade Bisquick

Pin It

Do any of you have something weird that you are hanging on to for nostalgic reasons?  Well I do--and it is weird.  There is an empty box of Bisquick on top of the refrigerator in my garage.  Told ya it was weird.  As much as I try to go homemade when I can, I have to admit that Bisquick is good.  I grew up on it.  I think Mom used it at least three times a week if not more for biscuits, pancakes, waffles, dumplings, or shortcakes.  A box of Bisquick on the counter was a good thing.

 When I first got married, I dutifully got on the Bisquick train.  Once the kids started coming, I tried to make as much as I could from scratch to avoid preservatives and unnecessary ingredients.  Bisquick was a tough one to let go of.  Fortunately, I came across a recipe for biscuits years ago that solved my "need a homemade Bisquick recipe" problem.  I figured that if it could make biscuits, then it could make all those other tasty Bisquick recipes. And it does.  I make a big batch and then keep it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator to use when needed.  So if you are Bisquick lover, you'll appreciate this post.  And if you are not familiar with Bisquick, I will be sharing some tasty recipes in the future.
