Don't we all like some surprise baked goodies? Well, having some instant flour mix around certainly makes spontaneous baking much faster and cleanup easier, and thus, more likely to occur! :) However, you'll find yourself using this DIY Bisquick for much more than just baking. You can make pancakes, waffles, and who knows what else! Plus, you have total control over what goes into the mix. Want whole wheat and butter? You got it! White flour and shortening? No problem!
Not sure where to start? Try these biscuits (Cranberry Brie, Cinnamon Cranberry, Garlicky Cheddar), flatbreads (basic, cheesy), breadsticks (Cheesy Peppered, Cheesy Garlic) or even pancakes!

Instant Flour Mix (DIY Bisquick)
by CJ HuangMake this instant flour mix (aka DIY Bisquick) and you'll always be ready for some quick flatbreads, breadsticks, pancakes, or biscuits!
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: 10-12 cups
Materials:
| Mass | Weight | Volume | Number | Material | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 cups | flour | I usually use half white and half wheat. | |||
| 94 grams | 3.25 ounces | 1.25 cups | milk powder | I used enough milk powder to make 4 cups of milk. | |
| 41 grams | 3.125 ounces | 1/4 cup | baking powder | ||
| 454 grams | 1 pound | 2 cups | butter | Or shortening, but butter tastes better :P |
Methods:
 |
1. Gather all materials. |
 |
2. Cut butter into flour. A food processor makes the process a bit faster. You may want to work in multiple small batches depending on the size of your food processor. |
 |
3. Mix all materials together until homogeneous. |
I've been doing this for some time now and it is so much tastier! I began making my own as it was much healthier but I love being able to adjust it to make it your own :) Great tip!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I was amazed at how much better it tasted. Glad you liked it. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you use butter instead of shortening do you need to store it in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Sorry...one more question. Is there a difference between milk powder and powdered milk? I've heard some people say there is a difference and others say there's not.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I use butter, and I store it refrigerated. I'd say to stay on the safe side and refrigerate. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to answer questions! I'm not sure if they're technically the same thing, but in this case, I'm using the terms interchangeably. Sorry for any confusion and thanks for asking! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your comment on Marilyn treats and your link to this post. I am so glad to find it.
ReplyDeleteI love Bisquick and the gluten free Bisquick but not all the chemicals. Pinning this recipe and linking it to my Bisquick quiche post where I said I wish I had a recipe to make my own. Thanks so much
Yay! Glad to hear you found this recipe helpful. :)
