How to Make Bisquick from Scratch
If you have these four items, you have homemade Bisquick:
- Flour
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Butter
Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl or food processor and then the cold cubed butter.
Using a fork or pastry blender if you have one, cut the butter into your dry ingredients in the bowl.
If using a food processor, pulse until combined.
When you are done, either start baking or store your mix in an airtight container.
You can keep your unused Bisquick from scratch in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, but if you are like me it will never last that long!
