Try this homemade Bisquick and ditch the boxed version!
As much as I love breakfast foods, I’m just not a morning person. Most mornings, while the coffee is brewing, Ryon starts breakfast. He normally cooks bacon and eggs or makes a hash, but some days he whips up pancakes. The kids get really excited on pancake day. [So does mama.] Since me and mornings don’t get along to well, I decided to help in another way. I whipped up a batch of homemade Bisquick mix to help make pancake days even better, for everyone!
Ryon makes his pancakes from scratch and they are amazing! So light and fluffy and toasted with butter on the outside. Seriously, I think he’s a pancake master. [Pancake master maker? Master pancake maker? Eh, they all work.] But when hes done with pancake making, he tends to leave a mound of dishes behind. Its like he uses a different dish for every ingredient. I can’t really complain though. He makes me coffee. And pancakes. Ok, I can complain a little.
I’m hoping that this homemade Bisquick mix solves the pancake master’s pile-o-dishes since you only need one bowl to mix the ingredients together. And on days when I wake up early [ha!], then I know what to grab to make a quick breakfast for everyone. So it helps with less dishes and with quick breakfasts in the mornings. This mix is more then tasty, its a family problem solver! [It must be a magical mix.] Now if only it could make us coffee..

How long does it stay good? Does it need to be refrigerated?
Should be good up to two weeks and yes – keep it in the fridge. Hope that helps! 🙂
Oooh, pancake mornings are the best! And Ryon sounds like a gem–as do his pancakes. Can’t wait to try this mix out!

Ok, this may be a completely ridiculous question, but what is 1/6 cup?
haha! A half of 1/3 of a cup. Or 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons. (I googled the last part! lol)
Very useful information! I just made bisquick chicken pot pies tonight- I’ll have to use this recipe next time we run out of bisquick (which is quite often)!
Yay! I hope yall like it when you try it! (I think it tastes better then the box myself!)
I love my pancake mornings too and this is great for the times I run out of my pancake mix! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Given the butter in this, does it need to refrigerated? If not, how long does it keep?
I put mine in the fridge and it should last up to 2 weeks! Hope that helps 🙂
How long do you cook the biscuits and on what temp?
450 and then bake for 8-12 minutes. Until your edges are golden brown. Hope that helps! 🙂
Thank you!! I don’t buy bisquick anymore because of the price!! But I love it and can’t wait to try this!! Thanks for sharing. Pinning!!
Awesome! I hope you like this version! 🙂
Just wondering about making waffles with this
I haven’t made waffles with them yet, but according to Bisquick you will need:
2 mix
1 1/3 cups milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Hope that helps! And let me know how they turn out if you make them! 🙂
Thank you I will
Awesome! 🙂
How much does a stick of butter weigh? I’m in the UK. Our packs of butter weigh 250g. Thanks 🙂
I looked it up and one stick of butter weighs 110g. Hope that helps Alison! 🙂
Thank you
