Making your own homemade Bisquick mix is super easy and only needs a few pantry staples. It’s basically a pre-mixed blend of flour, fat, leavening, and salt. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, butter, or coconut oil (cold and solid)
Instructions:
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the fat: Use a pastry cutter, fork, or food processor to cut the shortening/butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs (like sand with tiny pebbles).
Store: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 months, or freeze for longer storage.

How can I make my own Biscuits with this recipt?
That homemade Bisquick mix is perfect for making biscuits—just like the real thing. Here's a quick and easy biscuit recipe using your mix:
Ingredients:
2 cups of your homemade Bisquick mix
⅔ cup milk (any kind — dairy or non-dairy)
Optional Add-ins:
2–3 tablespoons shredded cheese
Pinch of garlic powder or herbs for flavor
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Mix it up: In a bowl, stir the Bisquick mix and milk until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’ll make the biscuits tough.
Shape biscuits: Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet for drop biscuits, or pat the dough out ½ inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter for round ones.
Bake: 8–10 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Brush the tops with melted butter after baking for extra goodness.
Want them flakier? Chill the dough before baking and use cold butter as the fat.
