Make Your Own Bisquick

Regular Bisquick has hydrogenated oils in it and nobody needs that! You can easily make your own at home.

Ingredients:

4 C         all purpose flour
3 T         baking powder
2 1/2  t   salt
1 T         sugar
1 C         shortening (or) 1 C vegetable oil (see note)


If using shortening, blend all in food processor.
If using vegetable oil, just stir all ingredients together.
Use like you would regular Bisquick.

Note: If using vegetable oil, you will have to store this in the freezer, but if you use shortening you can store it in the cupboard. If you do use shortening, look for a brand like Spectrum or Earth Balance in the natural section that does not contain hydrogenated oils like Crisco does.

Storage:
OIL- Up to a year in the freezer
SHORTENING- Up to a year in the cupboard
