Homemade Bisquick Mix

You can make homemade Bisquick Mix for much less than packaged mix.

Homemade Bisquick mix is great for baking, biscuits, cakes, pancakes, waffles and more!

All-purpose baking mix, mostly known because of the Bisquick brand, is simply a flour mixture with the leavening agent, salt, sugar, and fat built in. It’s popular because it’s convenient – you’re more than halfway there to any number of baking or cooking projects. Typically, all you need to do is stir in some milk, eggs, and perhaps oil. (If dry milk powder is included in the mix, you can rely on water as the added liquid.)

A homemade version of Bisquick also gives you the convenience factor and a whole lot more. The big selling point for me is the quality of the foods you make with your DIY Bisquick mix. The biscuits, cakes, waffles, breads, and such that you make will taste authentically homemade because they are homemade. What’s missing is the hydrogenated oil, artificial sweeteners, and the on-the-shelf stabilizing preservatives. 

Following this homemade Bisquick recipe is, hands down, one of the best things you can do for yourself. The more time I spend in the kitchen, the more I realize that many of the old boxes of processed food I used to use can be easily created from scratch, just like this homemade Bisquick mix. Also, you can make Bisquick at home for much less than what Bisquick costs.

Luckily, homemade Bisquick comes together in a food processor in less than 5 minutes and requires simple basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry – all-purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, powdered milk, vegetable shortening. That’s it! All you need to do is place everything in your food processor and pulse until it’s combined and looks like cornmeal.

How to Store Your Homemade Bisquick 

Homemade Bisquick doesn’t have the added chemical stabilizers to make it safe for keeping in the pantry. However, it will keep in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three months.

How to Use Your Homemade Bisquick 

Use homemade Bisquick mix in any recipe that calls for all-purpose baking mix or Bisquick. It’s perfect for biscuits, pancakes, muffins, and more. This homemade baking mix will become a favorite cooking shortcut.

Recipe Tips for the Cook

Use as you normally would use Bisquick. In this recipe, I use shortening, but you can also use lard, butter, or coconut oil in similar proportions. 

• Omit the salt if someone is on a low-sodium or salt-free diet.
• You can even make a healthier version of Bisquick from scratch using part whole wheat flour.
• Make vegan Bisquick with spelt flour and a vegetable oil of your choice.
