This one makes a smaller batch:
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Crisco

Mix dry ingredients together, then using a pastry knife cut the Crisco into the mix. Makes 1 cup Bisquick equivalent.

I must have at least a half dozen of these homemade mixes, and I've found them all to be just as much like Bisquick as is possible. My kids enjoy making their own pancakes when they're home, and this is a good and fast way to get the job done. I've never been one to use very many boxed mixes, but I do like making my own. Much, much cheaper for sure.

Thank you for sharing yours with us.

Homemade Bisquick

Ingredients:

• 8 cups Flour
• 1 1/4 cups Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
• 1/4 cup Baking Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Salt
• 2 cups Shortening

Directions:

Combine flour, milk, baking powder, and salt in a very large bowl. Cut in shortening until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Store in tightly closed covered container in a cool place. Makes about 10 cups.

I use this with anything I'd use bisquick for, it works just as well and is alot cheaper :-)

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 ~Tink~ (01/17/2005)

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)

Homemade Bisquick

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)

RE: Homemade Bisquick

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

1. Mix Bisquick, cheddar and milk into soft dough. Beat with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds.
2. Spoon on to greased cookie sheet. Smooth down tops to avoid hard points from forming.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 min at 450 degrees.
4. While baking, melt butter in pan and stir in garlic powder.
5. Once biscuits are cooked, brush butter on tops, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. Serves 10

Enjoy! Susan (09/19/2008)

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)
