How To Make Your Own Bisquick
Good morning, lovely friends!! I hope y’all are having a great week! I’m excited to share a very simple way to make your own bisquick mix. I love making things from scratch and this homemade bisquick mix is no different! It’s so easy to mix up and keep in the fridge for whenever I need to use it!

You can double, triple or quadruple this recipe based on how much you use Bisquick. Next week, I’m going to share my favorite holiday recipe that uses homemade bisquick! 🙂
Homemade Bisquick Recipe
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 stick cold butter, cold coconut oil or shortening {your choice}
Measure flour, baking powder and salt into a sifter. Sift into a bowl.
Cut in cold butter {or other fat} with a pastry cutter until evenly incorporated. I’m lazy, so I just dump the flour mixture and the butter cut into chunks in my food processor and pulse.
Store homemade bisquick in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.

Sharing at The Frugal Girls, I’m Lovin’ It and Weekend Wrap Up Party!
I’d love some recipes that use the mix!
Hi Wendi! I’m going to share my favorite next week! 🙂 Here’s the Bisquick site with lots of recipes – http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/product-recipes/bisquick-recipes
when you go to use it don’t you have to add some water or something? Judy
Bettycrocker uses GMOS …… anyone know of any GMO free Bisquick let me know I won’t feed my kids roundup with there dinner or any meal !!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve wanted to try this for a while but haven’t gotten around to it. The picture looks great, too!

Thanks for sharing! This looks really great and I can’t believe how easy it is!
So what do I do with it after I make it? How do I make basic biscuits? Does it still taste good if I use whole wheat flour?
Hi Hope! You use it with whatever recipes you usually use Bisquick for. I’m going to share one of our holiday favorites next week! 🙂 I’ve never used whole what flour, so I’m not sure. If you try it let me know! And…here’s the Bisquick site on Betty Crocker with a lot of Bisquick recipes – http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/product-recipes/bisquick-recipes
Myra, I love making my own homemade convenience items, too. I remember back in the day when I bought bisquick and loved making pancakes and chicken pot pie. This photo and recipe is perfect. I’m like you, like to do thing the easy way 🙂 I use my kitchen aid mixer to incorporate the fat in this whole wheat pancake mix I make about every two months for my family of six: http://momonamission.me/whole-wheat-pancake-mix-freezer-friendly/

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe too!!! 🙂
AMAZING! I’ve always said that bisquick seems to have the perfect ratio of ingredients for those fluffy pancakes. Can’t wait to try this. Will it work if I make it with with flour or at least half and half?
It should work just fine. It doesn’t have the preservatives and additives that Bisquick does, so you may find that it’s a bit different.
I think my favourite would be making my own salad dressings and pumpkin purée! have you ever done your own purée, Myra? I just notice you bake a lot of pumpkin things…it’s amazing how much you get from one $4 pumpkin 🙂
You have no idea how happy finding this has made me! I was wanting to make some biscuits tonight, but I’m out of Bisquick… however, I have everything on hand to make this! Thank you 🙂
Which gluten-free flour would you substitute in this mix, Myra?
I’ve never made it completely gluten free, but I make it with spelt flour. 🙂

Thank you for the great recipes! Blessings
Hi! How do you recommend storing it? a tupperware or ziploc? We would typically use this for pancakes, so does that recipe change? or do we still just add milk and go from there?
I love this page. I can’t wait to look around some more. I want to do as much as possible homemade but some of these mixes, etc. are hard to find a substitute for. Thank you, If you find anything for mushroom soup or onion soup mix I would love to hear from you. Thanks again, angelarae76@gmail.com
fantastic! Was looking for a non-gmo alternative for bisquick to feed my family – with coconut oil it’s so much healthier too! Thanks for sharing!
This is probably an insanely goofy question…but…why does it have to be refrigerated if I don’t use butter? My coconut oil isn’t refrigerated, nor are the dry ingredients. What about the combination requires the need to refrigerate? I’m so sorry if that is really naive.
I just prefer to keep it refrigerated to keep it fresh. 🙂
hi…i read another recipe from making bisquick mix on http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-bisquick-mix-69051 used about 1/2 cup of butter on 3 cups flour..what’s makes difference?
