Bisquick Recipe

Bisquick Recipe History Bisquick, a convenient baking mix, has been a staple in American kitchens since its introduction in 1930 by General Mills. Created as a shortcut for making biscuits, Bisquick quickly gained popularity for its versatility and ease of use. The original Bisquick recipe was developed by a General Mills executive's wife, who mixed together flour, shortening, salt, and baking powder to create a pre-mixed baking mix. Over the years, Bisquick has expanded its product line to include various baking mixes for pancakes, waffles, muffins, and more. Today, Bisquick remains a beloved kitchen essential, allowing home cooks to whip up delicious baked goods with minimal effort. #### Ingredients - 2 cups Bisquick baking mix - 2/3 cup milk - 1 egg #### Instructions 1. **Mix Ingredients**: In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, milk, and egg. Use a spoon or spatula to stir the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough baked goods. 2. **Preheat Pan or Griddle**: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using a skillet, you may need to lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. 3. **Cook Pancakes or Waffles**: For pancakes, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the preheated skillet or griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. For waffles, pour the batter onto a preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook until golden brown and crisp. 4. **Serve**: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes or waffles to a plate and serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
