So all o need to add is milk and butter?
Lydia Beiler
You don’t need to add butter because this recipe already has the butter in it. What were you hoping to use it for? Biscuits? Pancakes? Something else?
Michelle
How much milk is added to make biscuits?
Lydia Beiler
I’m really sorry for the slow reply, Michelle! Try adding 2/3 cup milk to 2 1/4 cups Bisquick mix. This is for drop biscuits, not rolled biscuits.
Clair
Can I make this mix and add the butter when I use it?
I don’t use bisquick often, which is why I would prefer to be able to make it when I do.
Lydia Beiler
Unfortunately, I don’t think that will work as it would be hard to know how much butter to add for what you need.
Jess
Can I use lard in place of the butter?
Thanks!
Lydia Beiler
I have no experience with lard, but I think it would be similar enough that it would work.
Jodie
How long does it keep in fridge?
Lydia Beiler
It should keep for months. Basically as long as your baking powder doesn’t expire, it should be fine.
Ruth
Store in in your freezer in an air-tight container. No need to ‘thaw’ before using.
Michele
This recipe is amazing and makes the best waffles and biscuits. So glad I found it.
Lydia Beiler
Aw, I love hearing that, Michele! I’m so delighted that you are enjoying it.
Sam
Hello! Could you replace the butter/vegetable shortening with coconut oil?
Lydia Beiler
I think you probably could, although I’ve never tried it. It will likely change the texture slightly of the various things you make with it. You could make 1/2 a recipe like that and see what you think?
