How to Cook with Old Bisquick Recipes

Bisquick has been used in kitchens across America since 1931. Its intent was to allow cooks to create biscuits quickly with only a few ingredients. The product was an instant success. Recipes were created using Bisquick as pizza crust, dumplings, pancakes and many other dishes. The biscuit mix is widely used today in recipes from appetizers to desserts and everything in between. A substitute biscuit mix can be made at home to create the same recipes as the old Bisquick recipes.

Things You'll Need

• 9 cups flour (whole wheat may be substituted) 1/3 cup baking powder 1 cup nonfat dry milk 4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cup shortening Large mixing bowl Airtight container or plastic storage bag

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, dry milk and salt together in the large bowl. Stir to blend the mixture completely.

2. Add the shortening to the dry mixture. Cut the shortening into the mixture with a pastry knife or two forks. The mix should be coarse and crumbly.

3. Place the biscuit mix in the airtight container or storage bag and seal tightly. The mix should be stored in the refrigerator because it contains no preservatives.

4. Measure and use the biscuit mix as a replacement in any recipe that calls for Bisquick. The homemade mix will produce the same results as the Bisquick mix.
