Homemade Bisquick
Description
Homemade Bisquick contains all-purpose flour combined with baking powder and salt to provide leavening and seasoning. The addition of cold vegetable shortening, pulsed with the dry ingredients in a food processor, creates a texture similar to commercial baking mixes, which facilitates quick and easy baking.
The resulting mix can replace store-bought Bisquick in recipes like biscuits and pancakes, controlling the ingredient quality and freshness. The mixture’s crumbly texture ensures fat is distributed throughout the flour, producing tender baked goods.
Storing the mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator helps maintain freshness and prevents spoilage of the vegetable shortening. The recipe yields about seven cups, suitable for multiple baking sessions.
Ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable shortening cubed
Instructions
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse ingredients for about 15 seconds.
- Add in the vegetable shortening and pulse the processor until the mixture resembles cornmeal.

Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 7 cups of homemade baking mix.
- Store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three months to maintain freshness.
- Pulsing the shortening with dry ingredients creates a crumbly texture essential for tender baked goods.
