We make our own "Bisquick" mix for camping but also use it occasionally at home:
2 C flour
1/2 t salt
1 T baking power
1 T sugar
2 T powered milk (or powdered buttermilk)
1/2 C shortening
Mix the dry ingredients then cut in the shortening until the mix is pea sized.
Using:
For biscuits: add 1/4 cup cold water per cup of mix. Use it to make bannock and dumplings, too.
For pancakes: Add 1 T powered milk and 1 egg (or 1 T powered egg) per cup of biscuit mix for about 6 pancakes. (At home you can add about 1/4 cup milk.)
Much cheaper than Bisquick and no added preservatives.
