EASY Homemade Bisquick Recipe

Let’s face it: Bisquick is ridiculously expensive.  Instead of dropping all that dough (see what I did there?) why not try making your own homemade Bisquick?  This recipe is fool-proof and will keep for months in an air-tight container. You diggin’ it? Let’s do it.

This recipe uses just four simple ingredients and takes less than 6 mins to make! Yes, I’ve timed myself!  😉 I actually use this mix so frequently that I make a triple batch of the recipe posted below. So make a little or make a lot!  It keeps well in an airtight container for at least 3 months.  At least that’s about how long mine lasts before I have to make more.

Recipe yields approx 7 C. of baking mix.

EASY Homemade Bisquick Recipe

6 C flour
3 TBS baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 C vegetable shortening (Crisco)

Sift the dry ingredients.  Sifting helps the next step go more smoothly but isn’t entirely necessary. Cut in the shortening (I use a pastry blender to speed this process).  You’ll continue to cut in the shortening until you have tiny balls of shortening in with the flour.

That is it, folks! Store in an airtight container and use as needed. So easy and homemade Bisquick is so much more cost effective than store-bought Bisquick!  Stay tuned because we’ll be posting a biscuit recipe that is only THREE ingredients; one of which is this homemade Bisquick! Woot!
