Make your own Bisquick substitute. Because that's about as home-made as I get.

Sunday, 28 January 2007 Comments »

Ever need to make something fast with Bisquick, but then you realize you've even run out of that? Give this a try:

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Crisco

Mix dry ingredients together, then using a pastry knife cut the Crisco into the mix. Makes 1 cup Bisquick equivalent.

Unlike real Bisquick, this has to be stored in the fridge — which makes it less convenient than the real-deal, but it works in a pinch. It is also good if you’re concerned about all the weird ingredients found in Bisquick. (Haha, I know…)

    thanx for the recipe, adding it to my recipebox right now.

  • Antique Mommy said:

    But then I'd have to go to the store to get Crisco, baking powder. And chocolate. And Bisquick.

  • Maria P. said:

    Cool!

    I am always missing one ingredient or another that I thought I had. Of course when I am not sure and buy an ingredient anyway just to be safe, I find that I actually have an abundance of that ingredient.

  • Plain Jane Mom said:

    Yeah guys, I know… More ingredients… shopping… Sigh.

    Thanks, I did not have time to run to the store.
    This saved time.

  • Mary said:

    Thanks, I always let my Bisquick get stale because I don't use it often. This allows me to use a Bisquick Recipe with fresh ingredients on hand. Yeah!

  • Ray said:

    Sheesh - Bisquick goes stale? How long does that take?

  • Uzair said:

    Did you forget something because every recipe i see for bisquick says it needs milk powder to make it? If this works and posted right I love it because I always have everything but milk powder.
    Please reply.

  • Ray said:

    Hi Uzair - I used the recipe as posted and it worked fine. Enjoy

  • Uzair said:

    Love it =) ***** out of *****

    P.S. Thanks for your reply Ray

    I live in Australia, where neither Bisquick or Crisco (or any similar vegetable shortening) is available. Any thoughts? :P

    (BTW, your forms are all mixed up on Firefox.)

  • Lisa said:

    Hi Dina. I also live in a country w/o shortening (Denmark). I haven't tried it with this recipe yet, but I use either soft (spreadable) margarine or canola (rapeseed) oil as a shortening substitute.

  • Shannon said:

    Hello

    I live in France and use the solid vegetable oil for frying frites as a substitute for the shortening. Not sure about the brands in Denmark or Australia - but here one brand is Végétal. It is sometimes in the refrigerator case and sometimes it is near the milk/cream/fake cheese section.

    Someone asked about Bisquick going stale… Actually, I've heard about toxic mold spores growing in it and to DEFINITELY throw it out after the use-by date, even if it smells ok.
