Thankyou so much forthis recipe! So many recipeson Zaar call for Bisquik, and we don't have that in Australia. I used your recipe as a substitute tonight, and it worked perfectly! I'm going to buy some buttermilk tomorrow, to try the mix as actual biscuits! ********************************************* UPDATE: I wish I could give this another 5 stars! I just used the remaining mix to actually make the biscuits, and they are amazing! This is only the second time I have made biscuits, but this recipe is unbeatable! I used the mix I made 1 month ago. I had it stored in the fridge, and it has kept just fine. I had to microwave it for 15 seconds to soften the shortening (I used copha) and then I mixed in 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Perfect biscuits!

Made this last year to take with us on holiday in our camper - forgot to rate (sorry!). Just made another batch to take away this year! We don't really use this in the UK, so it was a bit of an experiment - brilliant!! Used it for courgette fritters, pancakes...loads of grub!!

Thank you I am saving this recipe and am going to try it and rate it as soon as I buy some powdered milk lol. FYI I make biscuits from Bisquick and use Buttermilk in place of water and they are soooooo good. Almost as good as my moms southern homemade buttermilk biscuits. Thank you again. I shall return.
