Bisquick Clone

I would've given this recipe 5 stars had it actually given instructions on how to turn this from just mix into actual pancake batter (might seem a no-brainer to some but if you're like me, you're still learning these things and it IS filed under Pancake Recipes...). Since I knew I was going to turn this into pancakes, I doubled the sugar to 3 tsp, which ended up being a good amount of sweetness for them. My batter ended up comprising of this recipe + about 3/4 C milk + 1 large egg. It was just the right consistency and didn't spread a ridiculous amount when I poured onto the griddle, browned evenly and rose without ending up too fluffy or chewy. These really WERE the best pancakes I'd ever made once I figured out the proportions of other ingredients, and they were so tasty I ate them without syrup or butter. It yielded about 10 medium-sized pancakes. Next time, I'll zip up a big batch of this in my food processor and keep it handy for pancake emergencies.

We dont get Bisquick in South Africa, so I've tended to avoid recipes calling for it. No more, however! I made Tomato Pie/Tomato Bread by gailanng, which called for the use of this recipe, and Ta Dah! More biscuity than pastry, and next time I use it, I will try the 'baking blind' method, if I use it as a crust, since it rose more than I anticipated. I enjoyed the results though, and am very glad to have found this recipe!

Fabulous!! I make a batch of 16 cups of this every so often and store it in a large air-tight container. I use it anytime a recipe calls for Bisquick, with great results every time. I make it with whole wheat pastry flour and canola oil.

I've never been particularly fond of Bisquick (it has this funky metallic taste to it), so I was glad to find this recipe that also doesn't have hydrogenated fats. I substituted a baking powder clone for this and it worked like a charm. Because these recipes sometimes will change, to note, I used 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 Tbs baking powder subsitute, 1 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 1/2 Tbs canola oil. I'm so grateful that you posted this! Thank you, Chef 320096.
