Here are several versions of a bisquick substitute; I got them from a
recipe listserve; some have attributions, most don't. Lee M-S
Bake-It-All-Mix (like bisquick)
2 cups Vegetable shortening
9 cups All-purpose flour - sifted
1 tablespoon Salt
1/4 cup Double acting baking powder
This Mix collection is from a company called Jewel. I don't think that
their product is available any longer, so I have substituted just the
word shortening for the Jewel shortening. I have had excellent results
using either Crisco or (lately) Mazola shortening in these recipes.
Unfortunately, I think the Jewel shortening has gone to the shortening
heaven with Spry and several others whose name eludes me now. Thank
goodness the recipes have survived!
Combine sifted flour, salt and baking powder. Stir well. Sift into a
large bowl or pan. Add shortening. Use a pastry blender to distribute
shortening throughout dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse
cornmeal and small peas. The Bake-It-All Mix is now ready to use or
store in a canister on your cupboard shelf. A cool area is desirable.
Yield: About 12 cups
BAKING MIX (ie, Bisquick)
FF List (Diane Morrissey)
3 1/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
Mix together. You will need to tightly cover and store. I would also
stir before using.
Biscuit Mix (All Purpose Baking Mix)
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
5 tablespoons Solid shortening
3 tablespoons Unsalted butter - cut up
In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients. With electric mixer on
low or #2 of a 3 speed mixer, cut in fats until uniform in texture and
fat particles are no longer visible. Remove from mixer. Divide among 3
air tight containers. Yield 3 batches mix, scant 2 c. ea. Keep
refrigerated for up to one month. Recipe is easily doubled, tripled,
etc. Best biscuit mix you'll ever use, guaranteed. Watch out Betty
Crocker!!
