If you are like me and use quite a few american recipes, you will find a lot of the time they call for Bisquick, you can buy this in the supermarkets but it is quite expensive. I have just discovered how to make this substitute
8 cups of flour
1/3 cup of baking powder
2 teasp of salt
8 teasp of sugar (optional ) I willprobably leave this out as I do a lot of savoury
1 cup of shortening
mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and cut in shortening with a pastry cutter.
Store in an airtight container. Makes 10 cups
Never give up Tomorrow is another day.
I do get slightly annoyed when a recipe (usually american) says something along the lines of 'open a packet of something, add a few ingredients, pretend you've cooked something yourself'.
Do you know if the shortening can by anything or does it have to be something sold as shortening. Last time I followed a recipe which said that I used the baking marg and it seemed to come out ok.
