Chef’s Secret

For extra fluffy pancakes or biscuits using Bisquick, add a touch of extra baking powder and ensure your liquid ingredients are cold, which helps activate the leavening more effectively.

Substitutions

Best Match

Homemade Baking Mix

1:1 (by weight)

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening/butter for a customizable and healthier option.

All-Purpose Flour + Leavening

1 cup AP flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt

For recipes where only leavening is needed; fat will need to be added separately.

Pancake Mix (Other Brands)

1:1

Similar convenience, but flavor and ingredients may vary slightly between brands.

Self-Rising Flour

1:1

Contains flour, baking powder, and salt. Lacks added fat, so butter/oil would need to be incorporated.

Buying Guide

Check expiration dates. Look for reduced-fat or gluten-free versions if needed. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent rancidity.

Flavor Pairings

Milk Eggs Syrup Fruit Butter Savory additions for biscuits.
