I grew up on Bisquick biscuits, shortcake, dumplings, coffeecake. I follow the recipe of 2 1/4 cup (dry measure) of bisquick and 2/3 cup (liquid measure) and fold the mixture together for biscuits. When I knead it I fold, turn and continue until all of the liquid is absorbed. Sometimes I roll the dough thin and cut 2" circles then stack them for a flake biscuit. When using buttermilk you might have to use a tablespoon more than the recipe calls for because buttermilk is thick. To warm biscuits back up wrap in foil and up into a 350 degree oven for 10-15 mins. They will come out warm and fluffy. Use a microwave oven and they become warm and dense. With Bisquick you can not go wrong.

I love Bisquick ~ especially for chicken & dumplings! They are no fail every time! I always have to make a double batch of the actual 'dumplings' =) For the biscuits, they've always turned out for me...both by rolling them and by making the drop kind.

For all of you who like 'from scratch', make your own bisquick! Use 9 cups flour, 1/4 cup baking powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 cups shortening! Store in air tight container in cool dry place or in freezer for up to 8 months! I use that recipe in place of bisquick!!!! It rocks!!!

Ok so I'm not the best at baking from scratch.... When I come to a site looking for a recipe I don't expect to be greeted with use this MIX or that MIX. Let me just tell you I used THE MIX and added the correct amount of milk and WOW I got soup. I even tried another brand MIX and followed their box's directions.... yet again the same results. My Grandmother, my mother and my Aunt have always preached about "TRUST IN BETTY and you'll never go wrong!" HA I did and it went VERY WRONG! As a family we are trying to get back to doing things the right way! FROM SCRATCH... It is healthier and tastes a lot better... Maybe you could put a "From Scratch" recipe in for all of us who are trying to do it the way our Grannies did!

When I come to Betty Crocker I really do not expect to see (Original Bisquick® mix).
