Homemade Bisquick
Description
This Homemade Bisquick recipe blends all-purpose flour with baking powder, sugar, and salt, then cuts in butter flavor shortening or butter until the mixture resembles a powdery consistency. The result is a versatile baking mix that can replace commercial baking mixes in a variety of recipes.
The baking powder acts as a leavening agent to give baked goods lift, while the sugar adds a slight sweetness, and salt balances the flavor. Using butter-flavored shortening keeps the mix shelf-stable without refrigeration, though if real butter is used, refrigeration or freezing extends freshness.
This mix can be stored in an airtight container for several weeks, making it handy for spontaneous baking. Portioning and freezing batches further preserve the mix, allowing multiple uses over time. It produces consistent results for various quick bread recipes requiring baking mix.
Ingredients
- 5 cups flour
- 1/4 cup baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter flavor shortening or butter
Instructions
- Using a KitchenAid mixer (with the paddle attachment) or food processor, blend all ingredients until you have a powder.
Notes
- Store the mix in an airtight container for up to six weeks to maintain freshness.
- If using real butter, refrigerate or freeze the mix to prevent rancidity; shortening allows storage in a cool, dry place.
- Divide the mix into portions and freeze separately to protect quality over time.
- Preparing several batches at once helps to have the mix readily available for future recipes.
