THE MASTER MIX (HOMEMADE BISQUICK SUBSTITUTE)
This recipe is in response to a discussion on the boards about Bisquick. Bisquick is apparently not available in the country where the originator of the thread lives. I prefer to use this in recipes that call for 'Bisquick' rather than purchase it, myself. If stored in the freezer, this will keep for several months. I hope you find this as handy as I do, since I could never keep 'Bisquick' on hand before. If I recall correctly, I think this came from one of my Make a Mix Cookery cookbooks.

Tips:
- Use all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is a common substitute for Bisquick. It's a good idea to use a 1:1 ratio of all-purpose flour to Bisquick.
- Add leavening agents: Bisquick contains baking powder and baking soda, which help baked goods rise. If you're using all-purpose flour, you'll need to add these leavening agents yourself. A good rule of thumb is to add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda for every cup of all-purpose flour.
- Add fat: Bisquick also contains fat, which helps baked goods stay moist and tender. You can add fat to your all-purpose flour mixture by using butter, margarine, shortening, or oil. A good rule of thumb is to add 1/4 cup of fat for every cup of all-purpose flour.
- Add salt: Bisquick contains salt, which helps enhance the flavor of baked goods. Be sure to add salt to your all-purpose flour mixture, especially if you're using unsalted butter or margarine.
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk is a common ingredient in Bisquick recipes. It helps make baked goods moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Conclusion:
With these tips, you can easily substitute Bisquick with all-purpose flour and other common ingredients. Just be sure to adjust the amounts of leavening agents, fat, and salt to ensure that your baked goods turn out perfectly.
