This is my "go to" recipe for making Impossible Pies. It works well for any recipe that calls for biscuit mix and includes milk. I make up a large batch of the baking mix and then freeze it. I substituted oil for the butter and I go easy on the salt. Read More

This mixed came together very well; very easy to blend using my pastry cutter. I prepared it to be used atop a casserole. It is a dish I've made for years loved by many. Unfortunately, the batter did not rise well staying virtually flat. Perhaps my baking powder was the issue? Don't know as I used it not too long ago producing a good quick bread. Won't use the recipe again. Read More

Great Recipe I doubled it to use with Red Lobstter biscuits with 1/2 cup of cold water, and mixed in 1 cup of cheddar, brushed them with 1/4 cup butter melted with 1/2 tsp of both Italian seasoning and garlic powder and 1 tsp of parsley. baked in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes. Read More

This works quit well. Cold butter seemed the easiest way to cut into the flour mixture. I made Quick Cheddar Garlic Biscuits from this site and they turned out great. Read More

I used this recipe as part of another recipe and it worked well. I appreciate having proportions for one cup of flour; it makes it easy to mix up only the amount you need for a recipe. I did this the prior day so I still got the time benefit of a mix on the busy weeknight. Read More

Worked great and saved me. I'd rather use these ingredients than Bisquick anyway. Read More

I don't keep/use bisquick. I like that it is 1 cup increments. This worked out perfectly. Read More
