I am one who buys the cheapest biscuit mix. When I found out I could make my own, I was thrilled. I got this recipe from the Bishop's Storehouse. It's easy to to make and it works great
Bisquick
12 cups white flour
2 Tbsp salt
¼ cup baking powder
2 cups shortening
3 cups instant powdered milk or 1 ½ cups dry milk powder
Blend all ingredients with a mixer, pastry cutter or wire whip. Substitute in any recipe calling for bisquick. When rolling dough use bisquick and not flour.

So how much does this make and how do we store it? I LOVE saving money and time...this recipe is for me! Thanks
This sounds interesting. And I never actually have Bisquick, so thanks!
When I made this, I halved the recipe and it fit in one of my food storage cans. Otherwise it makes about 16 cups.
I have a friend who did this too and I never tried it. I will now! How do you make pancakes with bisquick? Any recipes??
The pancake recipe I have is:
2 cups bisquick
2 eggs
1 cup milk
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
I've been using this a lot lately. On Kade's birthday, I wanted to make waffles for breakfast--but didn't want all the work of making them for scratch. This worked great for waffles. I also made drop biscuits with them today.
