If you are like me and looking for ways to eat healthier and save at the same time, then you’ll love this copycat “Bisquick” mix!

It takes just minutes to make, is cheaper than buying the Bisquick brand and it doesn’t have any ingredients that you don’t recognize or can’t pronounce.

On top of all that, we actually like the things I make with this homemade mix better than when I made them with the Bisquick brand!  Definitely a win all around!

Here are a few of my favorite recipes that use this Bisquick substitute:

  • Easy John Wayne Casserole
  • Bisquick Chicken Alfredo Casserole
  • Easy Bisquick Chicken Pot Pie
  • Crustless Zucchini Quiche

Ingredients

  • 5 cups flour (you can use up to half whole wheat flour)
  • 1/4 cup baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup butter (see notes)

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients together then cut in butter until crumbly.  (I like to use a pastry blender to do this.)
  • Store in refrigerator and use cup for cup as you would Bisquick. (see Notes below)

Notes

If you use vegetable shortening instead of butter, you can store the mix at room temperature.

    How long can it be stored using shortening?

      It can be stored as long as the shortest expiration date of the ingredients. So if your baking powder has the soonest expiration date, that is the one that you would use.
