If you have a recipe that calls for Bisquick and you either don't have any or you don't like to use it (like myself) then there's an easy substitute. I prefer not to use Bisquick because it contains a pretty significant amount of trans fats.
As a side note: I really dislike when the media (or any organization or person) use shocking terms to get people's attention, especially when it comes to food. There's a whole lot of propaganda going around these days and it's a pretty good idea to do your research before you decide that something is really as bad (or good) as the media tries to make it sound. For example: "Our product doesn't use chemical leaveners like those other guys!!" - yeah, a chemical leavener is baking powder, not toxic sludge... ugh. But I do have to say that trans fats really are bad for you. There's no two ways about that. So, that's why I prefer to make my own biscuit mix.
Bisquick Substitute
For every one cup of Bisquick that your recipe calls for, use:
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
I'm certainly not the inventor of this substitute. It's one of those tricks that a lot of people just seem to know. And now you know!
