Bisquick and Mixes (homemade)Making our own Bisquick mix becomes necessary with mixes from health food stores when they taste like cornmeal, and we need to make it our speciality by perhaps adding in individualized ratio complex whole organic flours. Or, we wheat even adding in gluten or protein, legume or fiber. In your kitchen you can control all preservatives, cornmeal, organic's, sugars, and spices. In this economy we need more survival recipes that’s niffty and threifty to have on hand when needed for the same reasons and added is variations that you may like better for any health issues or if you choose to use powder milk or more sugar or shorting, oil, butter etc.
This recipe is a substitute for any Bisquick recipe
8 Cups sifted whole wheat flour (soft spring WW) (can take a half cup out
and add or mix in other flours like Quinoa, soy, etc.)
1/4 cup and 2 Tbs. Rumford baking powders (aluminum free)
4 Tbs. salt
1/4 cup sugar (add your health needs here) but adjust the recipe.
1 cups shortening (more or less)
Sift dry ingredients together twice. Cut in shortening and place in a covered container. Store in refrigerator. This will keep up to two months. If you put in the freezer for 24 hrs longer.
Use a food chopper to make this up or mixer. The original recipe called for two cups of shortening. I thought it was too much, but maybe not for some. You can add in powdered milk or part buttermilk for a heavier style of biscuits. Don’t over mix biscuits.
*Note: when working with WW you have to add more water or less flour because WW is more concentrated and condensed than white flour. I stop adding flour when it first begins to ball when bread making. When you add other flours to this recipe the same may occur depends on the flour and its concentration.To roll this into biscuits add more oil to your hands instead of adding WW flour or use white flour.

2 TBS paprika
2 TBS dry mustard
1/2 tsp. ginger

Quick-Mix
8 cups w/w flour
1/3 cup baking powders

taking out some of the powdered milk)
1/4 cup brown or raw sugar (or, you can leave out and add last minute,
fresh honey when you bake)
Mix together and store in frig. or freezer
*It makes it less perishable to add any leaven's later, but you can or do
it the last minute before baking as below. That's the advantage of this
particular recipe.
You don't have powdered milk add milk at the end instead of water. (it's a
very adaptable recipe)

water and oil and beating Quick-Mix together
*I've always had to adjust any Bisquick mix to suit my own needs, stove,
temperature and altitude. I add other flours and take flour out i.e. like
Quinoa, soy, almond, rice, even corn meal for some recipes.
