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.

That's all you need?? Okay, thank you, I am never buying Bisquick again. This is so easy!
You are so welcome!! It will be lifesaving, and I personally think it is even better than the original!
Bookmarking this as we always use store bought . Will make it soon.
Yes! You will never use the store bought jelly again...I promise!
I'd feel much better about using homemade bisquick mix than the boxed - gotta add this to my list!
It is a real game changer, you will never buy the boxed stuff again!
Now here's a great way to save some $$! Have you tried making a whole grain version? I'm thinking whole wheat pastry flour would work here, or a half and half ration.
I have not tried it Catherine, but I think it would be just as good! Let me know if you mix up a batch so I can share an edit! 🙂
I make this all the time 🙂 It's my basic baking mix. It's so much better, too.
Such an easy recipe to have on hand! I can't wait to make a big batch.
I had to look up Bisquick, I don't think it's very big here in Europe, although the packaging does look familiar, so it must be sold in our shops! I love the fact that you make your own, it would be so good as a foodie gift! Can you flavour it if giving as a gift, do you think?
Hi Azlin!! That is interesting, I guess it may be called something else over there (like how certain chocolate bars are different names too)! As for flavouring I guess it really depends on what you would be adding to it. If you are thinking of doing a foodie gift with it, maybe something fun like including some chocolate chips or a small container of maple syrup would be fun if you want to gift it as "premade pancakes".
It's always nice to have your own mixes in the pantry, whether it is a spice blend or a baking shortcut. People spend way too much money on premade things.
I couldn't agree more! We love having this on hand for so many of our weeknight dishes!
I love this! I always buy bisquik but it's probably better to just make it!
That's great. I've never tried to make bisquick mix before, it would really helpful if you need to make it ahead of time.
