Homemade “Better Than Bisquick” Baking Mix (Quarter Batch)

If you love the convenience of Bisquick but don’t want all the extra junk they sneak into the box, this homemade version is going to be your new best friend. It’s simple, clean, and you can use it for pancakes, waffles, biscuits, dumplings—anything Bisquick can do, this mix can do better.

Baking Mix

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Stir everything together and store it in an airtight jar or container. That’s it—you’ve made your own Bisquick-style mix without preservatives, additives, or mystery powders.


How to Make Pancakes Using This Mix

For pancakes, combine:

  • 1 cup homemade mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil

Cook on a hot griddle or skillet. The pancakes come out fluffy, soft, and absolutely delicious.


How to Make Waffles Using This Mix

For waffles, the ingredients are almost the same — just a little less milk:

  • 1 cup homemade mix
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil

Pour into your waffle maker and cook until golden and crisp.


Just Like Bisquick — But Better

This mix works exactly like the store-bought yellow box. If a recipe calls for Bisquick (biscuits, dumplings, shortcakes, pancakes, waffles), you can grab this mix and follow the regular directions — just like you would with Betty Crocker.

You can make absolutely anything you’d normally make with Bisquick.
Just look up the recipe you want online and swap in our homemade mix anywhere it says “Bisquick.” It works the exact same way — only cleaner, fresher, and better for you.

Your kitchen, your rules — and now your own homemade baking mix that tastes amazing and stores beautifully.
