My first memory of Bisquick are pancakes my mom used to make for me and my cousins before we left for school. To this day (many, many years later), I don't enjoy pancakes unless they have that indomitable Bisquick flavor! Bisquick is the only food stuff I can say that will cause me panic if I run out...it's versatile and I LOVE it!

My other memory of it is on snowy days as a child. My mom would send the same cousins and me out to play for hours in the snow...when we would come in, she'd have hot cocoa with marshmallows and Bisquick biscuits with some butter awaiting us. Even now when it snows here, I find myself mixing those biscuits (tho' I do drops not rolled as Mom did) and enjoying them with jam and cocoa! Brings back those wonderful memories!

Hi do happen to have the recipe for that impossible pie? if you do could you give it to me please!

I make biscuits, but use a little different recipe and cut in butter. I have family that comes in from Tenn. for turkey season and they always ask for them. They say they have never found biscuits that taste as good as mine do. lol I also make zucchinni patties that are fried like potatoe cakes. My family are always asking me to make them at family dinners. My Mom made dumplings and they were sooo good.

Wow...memory lane. I remember Bisquick...years ago, when there was no such thing as food allergies in my messed up body, we used to make this AWESOME Quiche with it. She also used to make Excellent Pancakes, Muffins, Bisquits and all that Good Stuff.

Impossibly Easy Zuccini Pie...We had so much from our garden one year that we made so many pies!!!  Yum...my Mom, Gram, Uncle and I each had a job and we made a production line.  I must have been 14 and not a big veggie fan until that summer.  I still love it and look forward to making a batch each summer.

My mother made dumplings just like Patty said!  I still make them occasionally when the kids are home.

My first memory my mother using Bisquick has got to be strawberry shortcake. As far as my favorite use of is concerned has got to be for chicken and dumplings.

After cooking for 40 years, I finally learned how to make good biscuits. Even with Bisquick, they always turned out just barely edible. With the help of the instructions in my spiral bound Bisquick cook book, I finally got the hang of it a couple of years ago. Until then, I always resorted to the drop biscuit recipe or biscuits in a can.

chicken 'n dumplings.  the kids just loved them.

Go to the web and search for "RECIPE KNOCKOFFS"

My mom only used it for biscuits, but the recipes on the back of the box were always so intriguing, so my first memory was wanting to try the recipes. When I married, my husband only ate the same 7 things every week, so it took me years to finally try any of the recipes, I now have a few of the Bisquick cookbooks and use them quite a bit. (I had to ease my husband into eating other types of foods, when I finally got him to eat something with more than 3 ingredients in it, I led him to casseroles and the crock pot.) He still doesn't eat mayo though!

I remember growing up my mother using bisquick to make dumplings to go along with the chicken. My own personal experience with Bisquick is making shortcakes for strawberry shortcake and most of all is the famous pancakes and also used to make biscuits.

My grandma making pancakes using her cast iron griddle for my sister and I.  She didn't use the pancake recipe on the box, but the waffle recipe.  She said that the pancakes came out so much better with the little bit of oil added, and we had to agree. 

Of coarse, I could do everything today that she did back then (i.e. cast iron griddle, waffle recipe), but they'll never be as good as I remember, because she would stick her thumb into the batter to make it taste even better... Love my grandma, she taught me how to bake. 

My first memory of bisquick was the drop bisquit Mom made when we were kids.  My favorite recipe(s) are impossible crustless quiche  and impossible crustless pumpkin cheesecake.

My mom also made the dumplings in a hambuger/vegtable stew and to this day I still love the dumplings...  and the pancakes are pretty good too!

My first memory was making Peaches & Dumplings with my Nanny. I loved mixing everything up and putting them in the pot! I still make them today with my boys and it always brings back memories of my Nanny:-)

I was craving a snack without all the sugars and fat. We had somr bisquick on hand so I mixed it up with some rolled oats.  2 tbsp dark brown sugar, coconut flakes, chopped walnuts and a bit of chocolate chips sprinkled on top for a enlightening experience.

It is a snack m,y kids still love to this day...

When I first used Betty Crocker Bisquick I made every "Impossible Pie" recipe I could find.  Everyday my family of six would ask what new Impossible Pie was we having tonight.  They were so easy, I was never good at making pie crust and with these pies I didn't have too.  I believe that the coconut cream pie was the favorite.

Those were fond memories when my family was growing up.  Thanks so much.

Unfortunately,  my first memory of using Bisquick is not a good one. I was raised with  7 sisters and 2 two brothers. Our father traveled the world in his business of oil exploration and was gone for a year or 18 months and then would come home for a couple of months and then leave again.

I was 13 years old and always loved to cook, and especially for my father, when he came home, to show him what I had learned. My Father was a fabulous cook and it seemed that he could just close his eyes as he reached into the pantry or cupboard to gather his ingredients and what ever he put together always tasted superior to most everything our step mother could cook,.

ANYWAY,  I was in the kitchen doing my thing and tonights dinner was a bit unusual. My father wanted a steak cooked on the griddle and my step mother said that all the kids had to have pancakes for dinner that night, because she could not afford to feed steak to everyone.  Much to my siblings dismay, my father said that because I was cooking, I could share his steak with him. So i made his favorite potato recipe (Au Gratin), put together a very nice salad and while his potatos cooked, I began the process of mixing  the Bisquick pancake batter. I was nervous that night and even though I read the directions on everything I was preparing, my mind was not registering.

I got my wet ingredients together and began mixing in my dry ingredients.  The OLD bisquick recipes used to refer to the Bisquick product as flour, so when the recipe said to use 4 cups of Bisquick FLOUR, I reached straight for the canister of self rising, basically plain flour and stirred four cups into my bowl, As i mixed everything together, the mix seemd to be a bit sticker than usual, but I did not give it a second thought. I heated my pancake griddle and began making the world's flattest pancakes. My step mother said to serve what I had made as she just thought that maybe the Bisquick had been opened too long before we used it this time. I still had not realized what I had done, until after we had all become seated at the dinner table. I was enjoying my steak while my poor bothers and sisters were making every effort to choke down their dry, flat, flour paste tasting pancakes.  My oldest sister excused herself from the table after a while, then returned with the measuring cup that we only use for dipping the flour out of the canister with; and she asked me why the FLOUR measuring cup was on the counter next to my mixing bowl. That is when it struck me as to what I had done.  My step mother told my brothers and sisters that she was not going to waste the food on their plates and that they HAD to eat those pancakes or excuse themselves from the table.  The glares I got, as I was now choking on every bite of steak and potatoes,  were horrible and hateful.  I had to stop eating and went to the rest room and got ill.   I offerd to use my babysitting money and walk to McDonald's and buy a large bag of Hambugers and frys, but my step mother would not let me do this. She told me to go and enjoy the rest of my dinner and told the rest of my siblings to stop complaining.     It has taken a very LONG TIME for my siblings to try and forget that awful dinner night,  and sometimes they still tease me and now they do always make a big production out of what ever it is that I cook for the entire family and say something like "did anybody put the flour canister someplace that Vickie could not find it?" 

This story does have a happy ending however, I have  become a fabulous cook, even when using Bisquick, which I love to experiment with and  I have created quite a few very tasty dishes, even when using BISQUICK as a main ingredient. I LOVE USING BISQUICK. YESTERDAY I MADE COOKIES using 1 Betty Crocker white cake mix and two cups of BISQUICK, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup suger, 1 stick of softened butter, 1/2 cup maple pancake syrup,1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup of chopped walnuts, 3/4 cup chocolate chunk pieces (just a little larger than chocolate chips) . I mixed everything together, heated my oven to 350*F, dropped cookies  2" apart onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, cooked for 10 minutes until the bottom of the cookies were a nice golden brown with just a little crunch. This time I used the correct "FLOUR" amd my cookies taste WONDERFUL. Crispy on th bottom an soft on the top. I cook like my father

my first memory of bisquick is probably the drop bisquits that my dad would make every sunday morning when he would get up and make a gigantic breakfast for the whole family. eggs, bacon, hashed brown potatoes, and hot home-made drop bisquits, mmmm! still one of my favorite meals, and the quickest way to have fresh bisquits for breakfast, lunch or dinner :)

my parents also made the coffee cake recipe (right off the box) pretty often - another family favorite and quick enough to whip together for unexpected guests.
