How long can it be stored using shortening?
Lydia Beiler
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.
Sandy
When you say mix cup for cup as you would for biscuits, what do you mix the flour mixture with?? Water or milk or what? We don’t have this in New Zealand
Lydia Beiler
Good question, Sandy! So Bisquick is a mix that you add other ingredients to make pancakes, biscuits, waffles etc. I also use it in quite a few other recipes too.
The official Bisquick pancake recipe says to mix 2 c. mix, 1 c. milk and 2 eggs and then to pour scant 1/4 cupful onto a hot griddle and fry as you would any other pancake recipe. And here is the official Bisquick biscuit recipe.

Can this be pressure canned to have a longer shelf life?
Lydia Beiler
I don’t think it would work to pressure can as there is not really any liquid. If you are wanting to make a bunch to have indefinitely, I’d recommend making it using vegetable shortening instead of butter. The shelf life will then be the best by date of the shortening or baking powder, whichever is closer dated.
