Where can I find recipes to make stuff with this? It doesn't really say what to actually mix in to make simple pancakes or biscuits or anything. Looking on the Bisquick website, all they have is recipes for entire meals that sound like they've come back from the 70's. I'm not interested in enchilada pie, cheeseburger casserole, or green bean peach hamburger ice cream cake, but I do want to know...+READ

Looking on the Bisquick website, all they have is recipes for entire meals that sound like they've come back from the 70's. I'm not interested in enchilada pie, cheeseburger casserole, or green bean peach hamburger ice cream cake, but I do want to know how to use this stuff to make simple biscuits and pancakes and whatever other multitudes of things that I can toy around with as I please.... perhaps if the great gods of Chow are listening, perhaps they could come up with this list???-COLLAPSE
can you use this mix to make dumplings like on the back of the bisquick box?
This recipe doesn't have enough baking powder. Also, the recipe is incomplete.
I tried the following site and it did not come in. It kept saying "ERROR". So could you please send it to me? Thanks.
I like a little fat in my biscuits. Butter or olive oil would be good.
Heartsmart Bisquick has no transfat.
Can the sugar be eliminated?
The bad thing about bisquick and the other permixed mixes is that they add hydrogenated oil. This is very bad for your health. That's why making from scratch is so much healthier for you and your kids you know what's in it.
I must try this also. However, sloepoke, I never have problems finding Bisquick in supermarkets. Tesco for instance sells a half kilo box for 57p according to the web site (hm, that's a huge drop in price since I last bought it, Betty Crocker stuff is really catching on in the UK!)
sloepoke: we developed it to be a substitute for Bisquick and so far it has worked in all recipes where we have tried it. give it a go with your mom's recipes and let us know!
Can you use this as a 1:1 equal to Bisquick in a recipe? Only asking because I live in England (where Bisquick is a. hard to find, b. expensive and c. stupid) and many of my mom's recipes call for "a cup of Bisquick," so this, to me, would be a godsend...
I know that even the lite Bisquick has fat - 1/3 cup has 2.5 grams of fat. That was enough to dampen my enthusiasm for "homemade" waffles - at 2 cups of mix for the recipe! Depending upon what you mix with this, it might be a more heart healthy choice.
Just wondering, what makes this superior to bisquick and the like?
robin_165: we have linked to our pancake and shortcake recipes up in the intro. check them out and let us know what you think.
When I saw this recipe I thought cool, this kind of prepared drymix is handy for alot of things.....but usually one needs to add some liquid to make it work....HHhhhhhmmmmmmmm.....wonder if who ever posted the recipe will fil the rest.of us in.....or maybe I should just pour in a little milk...maybe cut some butter and an egg or two....this could work out!
Good Point Michele,
We've provided the link to the shortcake recipe in the headnote, or you can link to it here: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10941. Thanks for pointing that out.
what do you mix this with to make a batter?
