I don't really like Bisquick, either, mostly because of the taste
and because it contains preservatives. It is *so* much easier to
simply make your own biscuit mix! I would just find a nice American
biscuit recipe and make it up without the liquid ingredients. In
fact, my mother used to do this all the time as I was growing up.
There are many biscuit recipes floating around, but I've included
several here that you can draw upon.
Hope this helps,
Joan

BASIC ROLLED BISCUITS (from New Joy of Cooking)
2 c. all-purpose flour
2-1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 to 3/4 t. salt
5-6 T cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 T. buttermilk powder (optional)
The recipe calls for 3/4 c. milk when making rolled biscuits, but
you wouldn't add it when you're simply making the biscuit mix.
NOTE: keep mix refrigerated until use

ROLLED BISCUITS (from Joy of Cooking)
1-3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
3 t. double-acting baking powder
4-6 T chilled butter or shortening, or a combination of both
Again, the recipe calls for 3/4 c. milk when making rolled biscuits,
but you wouldn't add it when you're simply making the biscuit mix.

GRANDMOTHER MARKLEY'S BISCUITS
(my grandmother's recipe)
3 c. all-purpose flour
4-1/2 t. baking powder
1-1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. shortening or chilled butter
When making biscuits, the recipe calls for 1-1/2 c. milk (or
buttermilk), but you would omit this when making the biscuit mix.
NOTE: keep mix refrigerated until use
