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.

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.

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....

This was better than the store bought Bisquick and it was so easy to make. I would give it more than 5 stars if possible. Since I had never tried it I changed the serving size to 1 cup. In the future I will make a larger batch. I made 2 changes. I used powdered Buttermilk and I used Safflower Oil (which is similar to Olive Oil) instead of the shortening in an attempt to make it a little healthier. Thank you so much for posting. I'll be making it often.

I gave this recipe 5 stars. I helped make this in my cooking class today. This was great stuff! We made biscuits out of this mix. My copy of the recipe is slightly different. My copy calls for 8 cups flour, 1/4 cup baking powder, 3 tbl sugar, 1 1/3 cup powdered milk, and 3/4 cup shortening. The salt is the same. In my class we used 6 cups white flour and 2 cups whole wheat flour. We also used butter flavored crisco. My recipe reads that this makes 10 cups. This keeps for 3 months in the refrigerator. Variations: Whole Wheat mix - Use 4 cups white flour mixed with 4 cups whole wheat flour. Replace the shortening - use 3/4 cup butter or margarine and replace salt to 2 tsp. or use 2/3 cup canola oil. Overall this is a great recipe. It made the best light biscuits. Thanks for posting a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)

Great deal! I made this with these alterations: 1/2 the flour as whole wheat, sugar as xylitol, and shortning as coconut oil. Came out great and I used it in the Copycat Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits recipe, Thanks!!!
