What can I use if I don’t have Bisquick?

Follow the simple instructions above to make your own homemade Bisquick! You can use it immediately in the recipe you’re cooking, or store it in the refrigerator for another time.

Can you substitute regular flour for Bisquick?

Not quite – Bisquick also includes fat (butter) and a leavening agent (baking powder), plus salt for flavor. Regular flour doesn’t have those. Luckily you can use your regular flour to make your own homemade bisquick!

Can I use pancake mix instead of Bisquick?

Pancake mix is a baking mix like Bisquick, but it may have different ingredients in it depending on the brand (and chances are, it has some of the ingredients we’re trying to avoid ). For super quick pancakes, use the classic pancakes with homemade Bisquick recipe above, or try my Strawberry Pancakes .

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ Tbsp baking powder
½ Tbsp salt
8 Tbsp butter, cold and cubed

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter, and using the paddle attachment, mix the ingredients together on low until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers. A food processor will also cut the butter, just be sure to use it on low so the butter doesn’t get creamy.
Store the baking mix in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge or the freezer, for up to 3 months.

Notes

You won’t want to store this blend at room temperature because of the butter.
