does anyone know the receipt for home made Bisquick?

Are you looking to make pancakes or biscuits? You can make two batches - one batch for pancakes and one for biscuits.

Food network... Alton Brown. His is different. Bisquick contains shortening.

PANCAKES

"Instant" Pancake Mix Recipe

6 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (check expiration date first)

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons sugar

Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix.

Use the mix within 3 months.

You still need to add eggs, milk and oil/butter to make pancakes.

"INSTANT" PANCAKES:

2 eggs, separated

2 cups buttermilk

4 tablespoons melted butter

2 cups "Instant" Pancake Mix, recipe above

1 stick butter, for greasing the pan

2 cups fresh fruit such as blueberries, if desired

Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees F. Heat oven to 200 degrees F.

Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter.

Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out.

BISCUITS

For biscuits, I would double or triple the recipe, except use all shortening (in place of the butter) and don't add the buttermilk until you're ready to make them. Store in a cool dry place.

Southern Biscuits

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons shortening

1 cup buttermilk, chilled

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using your fingertips, rub butter and shortening into dry ingredients until mixture looks like crumbs. (The faster the better, you don't want the fats to melt.) Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. The dough will be very sticky.

Turn dough onto floured surface, dust top with flour and gently fold dough over on itself 5 or 6 times. Press into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Place biscuits on baking sheet so that they just touch. Reform scrap dough, working it as little as possible and continue cutting. (Biscuits from the second pass will not be quite as light as those from the first, but hey, that's life.)

Bake until biscuits are tall and light gold on top, 15 to 20 minutes

Rolled Bisquicks

2 cups Bisquick

3/4 cup milk (or 2/3 cup water)

Stir milk into Bisquick. Beat dough hard for 30 seconds to make it tighten up enough to handle. Turn dough on well-floured, cloth covered board. Pat, round it up and fold over 3 times.

Roll out lightly with rolling pin, 1/2 to 1 inch thick, depending on how thick you want the biscuits. Cut with biscuit cutters. For biscuits with crusty sides, place a little apart on a baking sheet. For biscuits with soft sides, place close together. Bake quickly in a very hot oven, 475 F., 10 to 12 minutes.

This makes 18 biscuits cut with 1 3/4 inch cutter from 1/2 inch thick dough.

Dropped Bisquicks

Stir 1 cup milk or 7/8 cup water into 2 cups Bisquick. Mix well by beating dough for 30 seconds. Drop by spoonfuls on lightly greased baking sheet or into muffin pans.

Butter Cakes

Use Dropped Bisquick recipe and drop by small spoonfuls on a generously buttered griddle. Bake slowly until golden brown on bottom. Turn and bake until other side is golden brown and they are well done through - about 15 or 20 minutes.

Cheese Bisquicks

Gloria Swanson is featured on page 22 of this old Bisquick recipe book, with her favorite, which is Cheese Bisquicks. It says, "This is the delicious type biscuit favored by Gloria Swanson for her intimate parties." Gloria Swanson, star of the United Artists picture, "Perfect Understanding."

Add 1/2 cup grated cheese to 2 cups Bisquick and follow the recipe for Bisquicks.

Add 4 tablespoons cocoa to Bisquick dough recipe, and use 7/8 cup milk, instead of 3/4 cup.

Bran Bisquicks

Mix 1 1/2 cup Bisquick and 1/2 cup bran. Add 5/8 cup of milk. (5/8 cup is the same as 3/4 cup minus 2 tablespoons.) Mix and bake as Bisquicks. Roll the biscuits a little thicker than usual.

Wheaties Bisquicks

Add 1 cup or 2 cups Wheaties, depending on amount of Wheaties desired, to 2 cups Bisquick. Proceed as for Bisquicks. Use a little more milk (1 cup instead of 3/4 cup) when adding the 2 cups Wheaties.

Hot Pimento Bisquicks

Make Rolled Bisquicks according to directions. Place a little apart in a heavy loaf pan. Melt a package of soft spreading Pimento Cheese with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour hot cheese and butter over Bisquicks - just enough to cover. Bake 10 minutes in a hot oven, 450 F.

Philadelphia Tea Cakes

Cut half the Bisquicks with round cutter; and the other half with a ring (donut cutter). Brush tops of plain rounds with beaten egg and milk; place doughnut shaped circles on top of plain rounds; sprinkle tops with confectioner's sugar and bake. Remove from baking sheet and put a teaspoon of jelly or jam in the center hole.

Tomato Cheese Bisquicks

Add 4 tablespoons grated cheese to 2 cups Bisquick and follow recipe for Bisquicks, using 2/3 cup tomato juice for liquid in place of milk or water.

Orange Tea Bisquicks

Add grated rind of 1 orange to 2 cups Bisquick. Follow recipe for Bisquicks. When placed on pan, dip 1/2 cube of loaf sugar in orange juice and press into top of each Bisquick.

Cheese Rollemups

2 cups of Bisquick

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup softened pimento cheese

3 tblsp. butter

Make Bisquick dough according to directions for Rolled Bisquicks. Roll dough into a very long narrow oblong shape about 1/4 inch thick. Soften an easy spreading pimento cheese by blending in the butter and a little milk. (Or use 1 pkg. white cream cheese and blend with butter and 3 tblsp. chopped pimentos.) Spread on Bisquick dough. Roll up as for Jelly Roll. (Be sure the roll is narrow) Place on baking sheet, and with a sharp knife slice 1/3 of the way through the roll every inch, to mark the slices. Bake 20 minutes in a hot oven 450 F. This makes 10 to 12 servings.

Note: Break apart with 2 forks at the places marked. Do not cut. Serve hot.

Whole Wheat Bisquicks

Substitute 1/2 to 1 cup of coarse whole wheat, depending on the amount of whole wheat desired, in place of the same amount of Bisquick in Bisquick recipe.
