There's something about homemade Bisquick baking mix that just tastes better than the store-bought version. Maybe it's because you know exactly what's going into it, or maybe it's just being able to say you made it yourself. Either way, this recipe is a winner.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I used this recipe with 2 differences, and it worked out great: 1) I used canola oil instead of shortening, and store it in a zip lock in the freezer, and 2) I used 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat flour.

    Shamok: lard doesn't go bad and, if vaccum sealed it should store near indefinately - air is necessary for samonila to develop.

    No review but a quick question. Can this mix be stored in vacuum sealed canning jars and how long would it last on the shelf? I am putting back food stuffs for hard times and I am trying to make all the mixes I can that will be shelf stable for extended periods of time.

  4. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I substituted butter (yes, I know it's not as healthy as some other alternatives, but I do know that it's not a transfat) and will simply store this in the refrigerator.

  5. Guest Foodie

    Why do you use shortening? It is a trans fat and definitely not good for your health.

    • Shortening can be stored at room temperature in solid form. Other ingredients would not keep their form (ie: melt) or could go rancid.

  6. peggymarks REVIEW:

    Following this recipe produced a mix that turned out biscuits just like Bisquick. I also substituted the mix in another "unfried chicken" recipe and it was delicious. This is a keeper. Thank you!
