RE: Homemade Bisquick
Thanks, my hubby loves pies and my mom used to make the crusts easily with that. Maybe I can get it together for him (and save some $, too). (12/27/2008)

RE: Homemade Bisquick
All Purpose Mix
- 10 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Baking Powder
- 1 3/4 cups Powdered Milk
- 3 tsp. Cream of Tartar
- 2 1/2 cups Vegetable Shortening
In a large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Blend well. With butter
knives or a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until evenly distributed.
Mixture will be rough in texture. Put into an airtight container or large zip
baggies. Label. Store in a cool, dry place.
Use within 10 - 12 weeks. Makes about 14 cups of ALL PURPOSE MIX.
Variation: Use 5 cups all-purpose flour and 5 cups whole- wheat flour instead of
10 cups all-purpose flour. Increase baking powder to 4 tablespoons.
Note: If you are using ALL PURPOSE MIX at high altitudes, add 1/2 cup flour when
making mix.
You can use ALL PURPOSE MIX with any recipe you may already have for `Bisquick'! (01/05/2009)

RE: Homemade Bisquick
A very long time ago, I found this cook book that had all these recipes for all kinds of dry mixes, cake mixes, pudding, Bisquick, and what have you. It's called "Make A Mix Cookery". I don't remember what or who the author was, but it was a great book. You still may be able to find it. (01/05/2009)

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade Bisquick? I have a copycat Red Lobster Biscuit recipe that uses Bisquick, but I never buy it. Thanks in advance.

RE: Homemade Bisquick
The recipe for homemade bisquick I have used for years is as follows:
- 8 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups instant nonfat dry milk
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable shortening
Just blend all together with pastry blender and use as bisquick substitute.
Stays fresh for about 10 weeks. Can also be made with half whole wheat flour and half all purpose. I even like to use bread flour for a lighter outcome. (09/12/2008)

Bisquick
- 8 cups flour
- 4 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 cups shortening
Blend all ingredients well. Use as you would regular Bisquick.
This is from one of the cookbooks I compiled. It's called Mixes In Jars. It's several recipes of just dry mixes. (09/16/2008)

RE: Homemade Bisquick
Most 'make-it-yourself' mixes make a huge batch. They do make smaller boxes of Bisquick if you don't use it much. Also Jiffy mix is almost exactly the same thing at a lower cost. Make coffee cakes, pancakes or waffles with the remainder of the box. (09/17/2008)

RE: Homemade Bisquick
Here is a recipe I've had for the Red Lobster Biscuits.
Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- parsley flakes
- Mix Bisquick, cheddar and milk into soft dough. Beat with a
wooden spoon for about 30 seconds.
- Spoon on to greased cookie sheet. Smooth down tops to avoid hard
points from forming.
- Bake for 8 to 10 min at 450 degrees.
- While baking, melt butter in pan and stir in garlic powder.
- Once biscuits are cooked, brush butter on tops, sprinkle with
parsley and serve hot. Serves 10

RE: Homemade Bisquick
Thank you for this post. Every time I look for a baking mix recipe I only find the ones with shortening already mixed in. This is a godsend! (08/09/2004)

RE: Homemade Bisquick
I am looking for a Bisquick pound cake recipe. The only ones that I have found online have cream cheese or some other kind of flovaring in them. I just want a plain pound cake made with Bisquick. I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks

RE: Homemade Bisquick
I think I made a mistake in the post I just left. The bisquick recipe calls for 1/3 cup of baking powder not 1/2 cup. Sorry for the mistake. I am hormonal today. LOL. (01/20/2005)

Try this recipe for a lower fat/cholesterol mix:
9 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. Canola Oil
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 c. baking powder
2 c. non-fat dry milk powder
Combine all together and mix well. Store in sealed container in a cool place.(I store about half of it in my freezer for later) (01/25/2008)
