Homemade Bisquick mix can be used to create a variety of recipes like pancakes, cheddar biscuits, waffles, quiche and so much more! This easy to make recipe will become a household staple after just one use.
You will never need to buy a box of Bisquick again with this easy to make version! In fact, I recommend making a double batch and keeping in sealed containers or mason jars so you always have some on hand!

Why homemade Biscuit Mix
Besides being a quick and cost effective option to the boxes you can buy at the supermarket, I always love to make my own biscuit mix so I know exactly what is going into it.
The nice thing with homemade bisquick is that it is so versatile (as I mentioned above) and can be used in so many recipes you are already making to help you save time.
One of my favorite uses is as a dumpling mix when I make my Chicken and Dumplings. Gone are the days of scrambling for substitutions to your recipes when this kitchen staple is on hand.
I also use it to make my delicious Garlic Cheddar Biscuits as well as anytime we want to make a Quiche! You can even use it when making waffles, pancakes, pot pies and more.

I had no idea that it was this easy to make your own bisquick mix! Definitely saving this to make myself a batch. Thank you!
You are so welcome! It is incredible how easy it is to mix, we love having it on hand for quick weeknight dinners!
Do you know if there is Olive Oil Shortening? I can't imagine Crisco having any good for me quality's for me.
Hi Deanna!! It is a vegetable base that is made with soybeans, however I do believe they have versions that are made with coconut oil if that is something you would prefer. I have not seen an olive oil version before...hope this helps!
I think this is simple enough for even a mediocre cook like me. Thanks, can't wait to try it!
It sure is!!! It will make so many meals easier for you too!

You are so welcome, it is a life changer!!!
I had no clue that you could make Bisquick! That is awesome, because I don't always have it on hand.

Thanks for sharing this one... I've been thinking I need to find a mix I can use instead of the store bought box. I don't use it enough to justify that box sitting on my shelf and being able to mix up a smaller batch would be handy.
