Have you ever thought about making your own bisquick mix? it is simple and cheaper then buying it. Best Biscuit Mix 9 cups Cake-and-pastry flour 1 cup Skim milk powder 1/2 cup Granulated sugar 1/4 cup Baking powder 1 tbl. Salt 2 tsp. Baking soda 1 lb. Shortening In large bowl, stir together flour, milk powder, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture is in fine crumbs.

Disclaimer: Please do not take my response as rude or sassy! No, we no longer use Bisquick in our food preparation. Believe me, I used to swear by it and use it often. However once both of our local cardiologist and our hospital's dietician explained things to me about transfat, I no longer use Bisquick. It is among many other products that have been stripped from our kitchen! Trans fat acts pretty much like plastic in our arteries. It is the worst of all plaque and even strips out our good cholesterol! (the the type that helps with vitamin absorption) We should not have ANY in our diet, but that is so hard to achieve and probably unrealistic. However, what is terrible is that food manufactures HIDE the transfats now in the ingreidents list by using words other than 'hydrogenated' and p'aritally hydrogenated'!!! Bisquick has a lot of trans fat per serving so it isn't worth it to me to feed it to my family. I have a link below that tells how to use the NUMBERS on the nutritional information for decyphering fat content rather than trying to trust the WORDS!!! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2002/07/31/FD183554.DTL

I have a Bisquick cookbook that I bought a few years ago. I have made many of the recipes in this book. You can even make your own convenience mix. Check out Villageanne's discussions. She has posted the recipe for the convenience mix.

I love Bisquick, there are so many things you can make with it., I absolutely love the cheeseburger pie on the box. I add some bacon to it and it is great. I also love the simple drop biscuits with grape or strawberry jam. I have been making them since I was about 10. It was one of the first things I made as a kid. I would even use it in my easy bake oven.

One of the best recipes I have seen comes right off the Bisquick box. It's Pizza chicken bake. And boy is it yummy. My husband made it a few weeks ago. It will be made in this house again.

Bisquick is wondrous! Pretty much anything you want to make, you can make it with bisquick pretty easily. Pancakes and waffles, of course, are the simplest, but the biscuits are really good too. I also make pigs in a blanket using dough from bisquick. It is a quick and simple way to make a yummy lunch. It does dessert too; I made cobbler using bisquick too. I'll admit it then: I love bisquick...

mine is the dumplings for chicken and dumplings and the biscuits

I like to use them as the base for little pizzas. Small circular 'pizza crusts' that anyone can decorate and make specifically to their tastes. Just sauce and cheese, or if someone wants ham, bacon, or whatever, they can fix themselves a quick and easy snack or meal.

oh,i love that stuff. lets see..i make the pizza,the cheeseburger pie (oh,that is good!),coffee cake.. the biscuits i add garlic and onion to,and a bit of cooking oil,it makes them more moldable and have made lil breakfast sandwiches like mc donalds egg biscuits.

I do love their bisquits. Thanks for the link for the cofee cake. I am going to have to try that. What are the impossible pies? Never heard of that.

Pancakes...I haven't used bisquick in years but used to make pancakes out of it and they were awesome! I do like the biscuits too...I might have to pick some up the next time I am at the store!

I have only ever used Bisquick for pancakes when I ran out of regular mix. My mom makes some awesome chicken and dumplings with it though! She mixes it up and plops them (the dumplings) in the gravy that already has carrots, potatoes and chicken in the pot on the stove. I am not sure if it gets covered to cook. I am pretty sure the recipe is on the box though. I don't know, but I LOVE when I go back home and she makes them. Yum!

All I have to say in a nut shell is that Bisquick is the only thing I use in my house to make pancakes, myfamily loves my pancakes. My daughter will travel from Illinois to Indiana just to have some and my husband would eat them everyday if I would let him. Bisquck to me is the best thing since grandma, there isnt any thing better for me.

you can make your own a lot cheaper
