Who Uses Bisquick to Bake With?

[garlichead]

My mom used Bisquick for apple dumplings, but I've never used it.

We always had Bisquick in the house growing up, but I have no recollection of what my mom made with it. I've never used it, myself.

I use it for drop biscuits that I doctor up with shredded cheese, garlic butter and/or seasonings. Also use it to make pancakes and also make drop biscuits with sprinkled with sugar to make strawberry shortcakes.

I don´t use any industrial product if I can make the stuff myself. I never buy pizza base, pancake mix, instant pastry... because I know I can make them at home for half the price and twice the flavour.

I normally don't do that either, but I've never used Bisquick before, & since I haven't, I thought that I'd try it for once.

And twice the time!

When in a hurry it's handy.

I don't think that I've ever heard of "Bisquick"; definitely not around these parts.

I remember a product called "Nesquik" but I cannot say that I ever tasted it.

Totally different thing.

Nesquik is a chocolate flavored drink powder one mixes with milk. Haven't had it in about 50 years.

I don't understand why its quicker for making pancakes. Surely, It takes seconds to make pancake mix from scratch.

I make pastry for pies, quiches, etc. in less than 10 minutes, pancake batter in five minutes, pizza dough in 5 minutes - not a boast, just to show it doesn´t take very long to make simple things which taste far superior to purchased items.
The other point is, I suppose, I´m never in a hurry!

Surely there's frozen pancakes that you just pop in the toaster, it is America after all, who has time to mix a batter.

I´ve never bought frozen pancakes. Ever.

Now I want pancakes, lol. I whip the egg whites by hand so I have to add 2minutes to prep time.

You'd be somewhat clever to get my pancakes into a toaster (and out again).

I was being mostly tongue in cheek but in my neck of the woods your pancakes would be called crepes, which I like especially filled with some curry, like butter chicken. Now I want crepes lol.
