We Tried The Bisquick Mix

[macocha]

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

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 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. 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.

I got it I think at fred meyer and normally would look around, but yeah....4.79 made me croak.

I checked amazon, and nothing yet there. it is not at our safeway yet either. I did not see it at wal-mart either, but I don't go there very often.

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. 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...

Fred Meyer? Must look there!

[macocha]

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 didn't like it. I think he just knows it is gluten-free....

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.
