The Master Mix (Homemade 'bisquick' Substitute)

Recipe #45055 | 23 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Cindy Lynn
Oct 31, 2002

This recipe is in response to a discussion on the boards about Bisquick. Bisquick is apparently not available in the country where the originator of the thread lives. I prefer to use this in recipes that call for 'Bisquick' rather than purchase it, myself. If stored in the freezer, this will keep for several months. I hope you find this as handy as I do, since I could never keep 'Bisquick' on hand before. If I recall correctly, I think this came from one of my Make a Mix Cookery cookbooks.

SERVES 12 , 10 -12 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large pan, stir the dry milk, baking powder, sugar and salt into the flour; mix thoroughly.
  2. 2
    Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the MIX is the consistency of corn meal.
  3. 3
    Place the mix in a covered glass or plastic container and keep in a cool, dry place.
  4. 4
    In warm weather the MIX should be refrigerated.
  5. 5
    Use within a month.
  6. 6
    To measure, pile the MIX lightly into a cup and level off with a spatula or the back of a knife.

This is a great recipe...I am on a low sodium diet so I substituted sodium free baking powder and ALSO butter flavored salt substitute for the salt. The butter flavored shortning is a great idea.... I am going to try some of the impossible pies with this that I have been missing. Thanks....

    I found this similar one elseware, and I think it is the best! It makes the waffles even better than the commercial version, and I use butter-flavored shortening for more flavor. This does have a short shelf life, so I make it in half.

    Cindy Lynn, thank you, thank you, thank you! Bisquick is occasionally available in my country, but it's dairy (and expensive)! Lots of time I need the mix, but a non-dairy version. Thanks to you I can now make this with soy milk powder, and it works like a dream! This recipe is the closest clone I have seen so far, and I am already on my second batch! Impossible Hamburger Pie, here I come!

    This is great Homemade Bisquick, Cindy Lynn! Very easy to mix up and it makes dandy pancakes! Love that it makes a whole lot. That way I won't run out for a day or two! Thanks a bunch for sharing. I appreciate it. Laudee C.
