Healthy Homemade Bisquick

[padiak]

Here's a recipe for Healthy Homemade Bisquick that I've used successfully in all Bisquick recipes I have. It has less than 1/2 the fat of the other one posted here, and uses canola oil instead of shortening.

8 c. flour (I use half whole wheat, half white)
1/4 c. baking powder
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
1 1/3 c. dry milk
2/3 c. canola oil

Mix dry ingredients together, then cut in oil until mixture resembles cornmeal. I do this in my mixer, so it's very quick and easy. I store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

This looks good I think I will try this when my bisquick runs out and needs to be refilled. Thanks!

When it calls for Dry Milk are you talking about powdered milk?
And if so does this mean you don't add any water?

Many Thanks

Thank you for this wonderful recipe. Looks like a keeper.

Yes, I was referring to powdered milk, and since this is just a baking mix, you use the water or milk when you make a recipe from the mix. I believe there's another thread on this board that contains a great many Bisquick-based recipes.

I'm relatively new to this master mix thing and I made up the bisquick, because we don't have it here, but the butter went off before 4weeks. Does the canola oil last longer?

[padiak]

I've always kept my mix in the refrigerator, and it lasts indefinitely. I think the canola oil probably would last longer than butter, but I find the best bet is to keep it refrigerated.

I will try it again with the butter. I suppose I should have known really because I don't usually keep butter in the pantry, it's too hot here to do that.
Thanks Padiak
