We Tried The Bisquick Mix

So, for $4.79 we got about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of mix :o

But, we got 10 biscuits out of it. it has around 5 recipes on the box for different items.

We did biscuits, so used 2 cups of the mix :unsure: and they turned out great. my other son who is not on a gluten-free diet (yet) devoured them and normally he turns his nose up to anything we make that is gluten-free after trying it. :blink: Everyone enjoyed them!

So, other than the price, they were a HUGE hit.

Holy cow! That is expensive. Where did you buy it? I paid $3.84 at my local Wal-Mart (still expensive considering the inexpensive ingredients that are in it). I was surprised to see that it came in a tiny 16 oz. box. I guess I was expecting it to be a much larger box.

Glad to hear the biscuits turned out well. I haven't made anything yet but am thinking of making pancakes tomorrow morning.

Can't wait to try it so I can get back to those impossible Bisquick pies. I haven't made one of those in about 25 years! Guess that ages me.

$4.79 would make me croak, too. lol I'm sure distribution of new products like this take time to roll out to the stores that stock General Mills products.

I really had to search for it at Wal-Mart in Waynesboro, PA. It was buried on the very bottom shelf next to the reduced fat Bisquick. Just one row of the gluten free Bisquick and it was almost gone. Picture me practically on my hands and knees trying to reach it. tongue.gif They certainly didn't give it much shelf space.

This morning I tried the gluten free Bisquick for pancakes. They are excellent. Expensive, but excellent!

In looking at the ingredients of this Bisquick, the main item is rice flour followed by sugar and leavening (sounds like baking powder to me). The only other flour is modified potato starch with the last items salt and xanthan gum. Obviously there's not a lot of potato starch in it.

I found this recipe for gluten free pancakes on the Land O Lakes website (ingredients are very similar) and it would be a lot less expensive. Open Original Shared Link

I'm glad that mainstream companies like General Mills come out with gluten free items and are generally readily available to consumers so I do like to support them. I just don't like that something with such cheap ingredients is so terribly expensive. I recently bought white rice flour for $1.15 a lb. at a local Mennonite-type market. Haven't checked my Asian store but can't believe it would be less expensive than that.

So that's my two cents worth...

here is a fantabulous recipe for pancakes if you are looking for one...

1 cup rice flour

3 tablespoons tapioca flour

1/3 cup potato starch

4 tablespoons dry buttermilk powder

1 packet sugar substitute (I use table sugar or dextrose)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 eggs

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 cups water

In a bowl, mix or sift together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, dry buttermilk powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir in eggs, water, and oil until well blended and few lumps remain.

Heat a large, well-oiled skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Spoon batter onto skillet and cook until bubbles begin to form. Flip, and continue cooking until golden brown on bottom. Serve immediately with condiments of your choice.

All my kids, but one :wacko: didn't like it. I think he just knows it is gluten-free.... :lol:

I finally found this while traveling. It was 3.99 at Lowes Foods in Raleigh, NC. So there is quite a bit of regional price differences. Can't wait to try making some biscuits.

I have only seen it at one store (Rockford Walmart for $3.29 I think).

I also made biscuits - they turned out GREAT. Could not even tell they were gluten free.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
