Baking Mix Aka "bisquick"
"This is a recipe that is higher in fiber and slightly lower in fat than most of the ones already posted. I use whole wheat pastry flour and the shortening is the zero trans fat variety. This can be used just like Bisquick for making pancakes or biscuits. The recipe comes from The New American Diet cookbook."

How easy! This came in very handy for Leslie in Texas' Sausage Squares. I used all all-purpose flour, and inadvertently made it "low sodium" because I forgot to add the salt... oops. I changed the yield to 3 cups, and used butter rather than shortening (since I was going to use all of it right away, and therefore it wouldn't have to sit around and go rancid on me). Thanks for posting! -
Wonderful and a much healthier alternative. I usually avoid recipes with Bisquick and now I don't have to! Scaled the recipe down to 2 3/4 cups and used butter for shortening in recipe #200705. Will use this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I love the idea of Wheat Flour. I just used whole wheat flour. I am going to use ti to Make "Recip # 11571" I don't like to buy biscuit mix. I love to use it just like to make everything I can homemade. am sorry to say that I did not like the way this turned out. I will not be making it again. -
I've never made homemade Bisquick before, but liked the idea of using pantry items to make my own rather than buying another box of something. I used regular whole wheat flour and trans fat free shortening, making a half batch. My sifter also broke halfway through the third sifting, but it still worked great in Recipe #228570. I'm looking forward to trying it with other recipes. -
i love making my own mixes and i love that this has wheat flour, thank you for posting dee

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
