118:Fake-It Frugal's Homemade Bisquick Recipe

So I finally got all my stuff together to make this simple and cheap recipe for homemade Bisquick. It's sort of messy but oh so fun. Oh, did I mention you save a good chunk of money too?


Homemade Bisquick

5 1b. bag of All purpose flour

20 teaspoons of sugar

5 teaspoons of salt

2/3 cup of Baking Powder

2 Cups Shortening (I used Crisco)

Kitchen-aide Love


1. Mix all dry ingredients together with a whisk until fully mixed.


2. Now take off rings and jewelry because this next part is messy!!  Add shortening and mix thoroughly making sure there are not any lumps of shortening in the mixture. It should have the consistency of cornmeal when uniform and should be mold-able. (Namely you should be able to make balls without them falling apart.)

3. Separate into plastic bags. Mix keeps up to a year in the pantry.

4. Pat yourself on the back. You just saved some cash.


Fake-It Yourself Cost:  $3.92

Real Bisquick, 3 Boxes ($3.59 each)

Total Fake-It Yourself Savings:  $6.85
