Bisquick Clone

I used the serving calculator to make 6 cups (which I guess is a small box of commercial Bisquick). I used turbinado sugar, double-acting baking powder, unbleached AP flour, kosher salt, and canola oil. I whisked in the oil until it got all crumbly but wanted to make sure it absorbed-- if mixing in a bowl/container I'd let it sit out and dry for about 10-15 minutes before sealing. Works like a charm for any recipe that calls for Bisquick!

I would've given this recipe 5 stars had it actually given instructions on how to turn this from just mix into actual pancake batter (might seem a no-brainer to some but if you're like me, you're still learning these things and it IS filed under Pancake Recipes...). Since I knew I was going to turn this into pancakes, I doubled the sugar to 3 tsp, which ended up being a good amount of sweetness for them. My batter ended up comprising of this recipe + about 3/4 C milk + 1 large egg. It was just the right consistency and didn't spread a ridiculous amount when I poured onto the griddle, browned evenly and rose without ending up too fluffy or chewy. These really WERE the best pancakes I'd ever made once I figured out the proportions of other ingredients, and they were so tasty I ate them without syrup or butter. It yielded about 10 medium-sized pancakes. Next time, I'll zip up a big batch of this in my food processor and keep it handy for pancake emergencies.

We dont get Bisquick in South Africa, so I've tended to avoid recipes calling for it. No more, however! I made Tomato Pie/Tomato Bread by gailanng, which called for the use of this recipe, and Ta Dah! More biscuity than pastry, and next time I use it, I will try the 'baking blind' method, if I use it as a crust, since it rose more than I anticipated. I enjoyed the results though, and am very glad to have found this recipe!

No reason ever again to buy Bisquick. It was easy to alter the quantity, too, for my Tomato Pie/Tomato Bread.

Ran out of Bisquick in the middle of a chicken pot pie and this totally worked. Thanks for the "bail-out" :-)

Fabulous!! I make a batch of 16 cups of this every so often and store it in a large air-tight container. I use it anytime a recipe calls for Bisquick, with great results every time. I make it with whole wheat pastry flour and canola oil.

I came here to print this off becuse I lost my first copy. I can't believe I didn't rate it before as I have been making this for 3 years. Better late than never though :)
I keep this on hand for making Red Lobster clone biscuits. Its perfect!! I also use a whisk to combine all of the ingredients. I really like that there are no saturated fats in the mix. I add enough of that with cheese and butter. lol Thanks for posting a super handy (and good) recipe!

Works great, especially when you only need a small amount of Bisquick. Thanks!

Perfect! I try to stay away from shortening and such, as well, so this is exactly what I was looking for! Usually, I double this and use it in Banana Brunch Cake, but I have used this in several other recipes calling for store bought Bisquick with great results! I've even used wheat flour for part of it and it still works wonderfully!

Bisquick is no where to be found in Finland. I looked for recipes online for it and most all use shortning as an ingredient. Guess what? No shortning in finland either heh. This recipe was great and I had all the ingredients needed to make it. I am sure the recipe without the shortning is much better for me anyway. I made red lobster garlic rolls with it, yummy. Thank you!

I love recipezaar, and a recipe like this is just another reason why. I thought I had at least a half box of bisquick, but found out I had only about half the amount I needed for my pancakes. This worked beautifully, thanks!

This worked really well. I can't get bisquick here so I'm really pleased to have this recipe. Thank you.

Super! This behaved just as it was supposed to. I was drawn to this recipe because it didn't make a ton. I made one and a half times the recipe and had just what I needed for dinner. Thanks for posting!

Super easy! Used it in one of those "Impossible" recipes, with perfect results! I like that this uses oil instead of shortening, since I always have oil on hand! Thanks for posting!

Made up this clone to go ontop of a chicken pot pie tonight and it was absolutely perfect. We don't get anything like Bisquick where I live and so now that I've tried this recipe and know how well it works it opens up a lot of other recipes for me that required bisquick.

I tend to bake from scratch so when I tagged a recipe for a zaar game that asked for a half cup of bisquick I knew I wasn't going to buy a whole box for the recipe. I went searching and found several recipes but this has the smallest amount of ingredients and since I didn't need a large batch I choose this. So glad I did! The bisquick substitute was actually the best part of the recipe and I will definitely use again if I need to. Thanks so much for posting!

I love that fact that this recipe doesn't contain shortening.The only change I make is to use canola oil instead of vegetable oil. This recipe works so well that I don't even buy Bisquick anymore!
