I’ll admit it! I love Bisquick…I know I shouldn’t, but it is just so convenient and honestly…doesn’t taste that bad. With that said, it does have a lot of ingredients, so a few years ago I set out to make my own Homemade Bisquick.
It is so easy to make your own and it will last in your pantry for months. I was shocked at how easy it really was to make my own and I am able to control the quality of the ingredients…if I want 100% organic, I can do that. If I want a whole wheat version, I can do that. I bet a gluten free version could be made as well.
Homemade Bisquick
2 cups flour
¼ cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 tbls baking powder
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and beat with mixer on low until it is the consistency of bisquick. Use in any recipe where you would use regular bisquick.
Need some recipes for using up your mix?




















Hi, I am a new follower and I also added a recipe to your list! I am also doing a recipe on my blog and would love for you to swing by and add a recipe:) As for Bisquick its a great recipe but my belly doesn’t agree with shortening! I tend to add butter, where shortening is required. Do you think canned butter could work for the recipe so that you don’t have to refridferate the mix?
I needed this about 2 weeks ago but didn’t have time to figure out how make it. Thank you for posting it. I have pin it on my pinterest so I can find it easily next time!
Saw this at the Church Supper. Love that I can now make my own Bisquick!
Definitely going to hang on to this recipe! Thanks for linking up with Made From Scratch Tuesday!
I need to try this. I love to use Bisquick, but I never use the whole box up. This homemade version would be perfect!
Love this!!!
I love bisquick too! But, it is getting so expensive around here and the ingredient list is a bit long for my taste. Thanks for sharing this!
Love make home versions of store bought stuff. Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Hope to see you again this week.

Love this post… great tips
Homemade Bisquick? I am over the moon that I found this!!!! I have been buying Bisquick for so many years and so has my mother. I cannot wait to tell her about this. MY goodness…the money we’re gonna save! Thank you so much!!!
Does it matter what type of flour you use in this recipe? None of the “Homemade” Biscuick type recipes online say whether or not to use All purpose or Self Rising. I assume All Purpose would be the ideal flour to use. I love the idea of making my own and have experimented in the past.
I use All Purpose Flour. Let me know how it works for you.
