What a terrific recipe! I was half-way through a recipe tonight and realized I didn't have anywhere near enough bisquick on hand — this recipe saved the night! The biscuits were wonderful and this mix so easy to make; Thankyou very much!

Thanks for sharing this simple recipe! I made cinnamon rolls with this and my own frosting for the top and it came out just like bisquick! This will always be on my shelf for quick meals, too!

Great recipe, made great chicken and dumplings, works at least as well as the "real" Bisquick. The main reason I wanted to make my own was to avoid partially hydrogenated oil. This recipe worked great. I even substituted vegan shortening, with no hydrogenated oil, found in a natural food store's fridge section. The dumplings were light, fluffy, and might have even absorbed more flavor from the broth than when using the good old standby "real" Bisquick. Like others, I didn't bother to sift the ingredients. Thanks for posting this recipe, Lan!

This is the first time I've made my own 'Bisquick Mix', but it won't be the last! I used some of the mix to make biscuits, and they turned out great! I skipped the step of sifting the dry ingredients, but the mix was a great success anyway. This was really easy to mix together in my Kitchenaid stand mixer, and very economical, too! Thanks for posting this handy recipe, Lan!
