Yes, I have the recipe to make your own Bisquick! Would you like it? It sure is cheaper to make it yourself and handier!
Instead of buying Bisquick baking mix, make your own at home with a few simple ingredients.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
8 cups all-purpose flour (or 4 cups each all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour)
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups dry nonfat milk
2 cups shortening
Preparation:
Mix flour, baking powder, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, nonfat milk, and shortening together in large bowl (if you have a large mixer it is ideal to use for blending this mix but it can also be done quite adequately using a pastry blender to cut in shortening). Add shortening about a half cup at a time mixing well after each addition. Mixture will be mealy when mixed adequately.
Put in air-tight container and store either in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use within about 3 months.
You can always halve the recipe! Here are some uses for it:
Usage
For Biscuits:
Mix 2 cups of Baking Mix with 1/2 cup water. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes.
For Muffins:

For Waffles:

You can use this mix to make biscuits, dumplings, muffins, coffee cake, pancakes and waffles. It can also be used as an ingredient in casseroles and desserts.
Yield: about 12 cups of mix!!
