Copycat Bisquick Mix

Happy New Year y’all! I was up way too late ringing in the new year, so I’m sharing with you a simple 5-minute recipe to get your year off to a good start: A copycat rendition of Bisquick’s All Purpose Baking Mix. You might even want to make some biscuits this morning with a slab of butter, drizzled in honey to eat along with your morning coffee (or if you live in Utah…diet Coke!). Your choice.

Bisquick can be quite expensive. I went to buy a large box the other day and about croaked. An 80 ounce box cost me $12!! Ouch. That’s $0.60 cents a serving. That’s a lot considering it costs considerably less than that if you buy the ingredients separately and make it yourself. Our economy has come down to cost versus convenience. At one time convenience was more important and the extra money spent was well worth it, but with the economy now affecting so many pockets, cost becomes more of an issue. Making your own baking mixes is one area where you can pinch pennies. It takes all of 5 minutes to make! You can use this mix as an exact substitute for Bisquick in your recipes.

So, to save money and make your own copycat version of Bisquick, you’ll need the following:
