Just drives me crazy when these people leave so much in the mixing bowl. Who can afford NOT TO USE ALL THE INGREDIENTS 😡. My Mom was a stickler about that and she instilled that in me. Waste not, want not.
My mother was known for her biscuits and her recipe was the Bisquick recipe. I still make all kinds of things using Bisquick. I just this week made an “impossible” quiche that my family loved.
I had made the impossible pumpkin pie recipe back in early 90s, i just remade the recipe tat was on the web site. This time didn’t like how it came out at all. The first time was perfect. I think they changed the recipe…..lol
For a cheaper and healthier (no trans fats) option, you can make your own copy-cat Bisquick recipe using butter (or home rendered lard or other oils if you prefer but I think butter gives the best flavor and texture), and it works perfectly for Impossible pies. Just store it in the refrigerator to keep the butter fresh.
Yes! That impossible pie is somewhat suspect. Ok, it’s nowhere in the realm of pies. Thank for another great video!
Back in those days my mom sold Tupperware and these Bisquick recipes were always present at the Tupperware parties.
Hi Anna! I am also Anna. Sending greetings from Canada! I think we are very close to being the same age- and it is so much fun to watch your videos. You are my cookbook kindred spirit. I could lend you some great ones to peruse and cook from. 🙂 Thanks for your content- it brings a lot of joy and ideas!
My grandmother used to make a cherry pie with boxed white cake mix and a can of cherries like you have. She mixed the dry cake mix with the fruit and baked it. Can't remember if she added anything else, but the boxed mix went in dry. That was the late 70s/early 80s.
Happy Belated Birthday Jim! 🎉
1thing ive done while traveling with a family of 5, id mix upthe dry i gredients for say pancakes note on bag add X eggs and milk or water.
Then make whatever, EXhusband hated bisquick and I wasnt alowedbto usenit,mim sure it was because his mother was an awful cook and if she didnt like it,knowbody wasvto like or want it yep! A dictator, so glad she died right after we got married !😮😊
I love Bisquick. My two favorite recipes are the mock cheese biscuits from red lobster and the coconut impossible pie. Also make the bacon quiche recipe often too that can be modified to any ingredients you like. It is very forgiving. Been using bisquick for many years and love it.
Love bisquick recipes. I have a bread pudding recipe from a small Bisquick book and it’s my favorite.
I little story to age myself- when I was a kid and we bought our first microwave oven from Mcgomery wards. They offered cooking classes for the microwave. I remember going with my mom to microwave cooking class and learning how to cook different things. Remember her cooking a roast beef and it was really tough. My mom and I laughed 🤣.
New subscriber here ❤❤❤
I had a wonderful banana muffin recipe. The later recipe was bland and not at all banana-y.
What exactly is in bisquick?
I always have bisquick on hand for crust less quiche. I live in Canada 🇨🇦
Make the Velvet Crumb Cake! It’s more of a coffee cake.
More Bisquick recipes!! I love this series!! 🙂
Aahhh! I still have a Bisquick cookbook from the 80s!!! ❤
I suppose using Bisquick could be the time saver that makes the difference between cooking and not cooking for some people. When my kids where young I would have used it if I had known about it.
The impossible cherry pie reminds me of a French cherry claufoutis. When you mentioned it was custard like I immediately thought of the French dessert. Ohh laa la 🎉
Happy Birthday Jim🎉
Mmmmmmm
I make a Vidalia Onion Pie that has a Bisquick crust with sage which is good. I love the Impossible Cheeseburger Pie with sliced tomatoes on top. I have saved the boxes over the years for the recipes and do have several of their cookbooks. One is just Impossible Pies! That Cherry Pie looked like a chocolate pie–it came across as really dark. Thanks for not making biscuits in the microwave!
Try the nonstick foil. It’s fantastic.
I'm sure you've told us before, Anna, but what model of hand mixer is that?
I must give the ham and cheddar skillet pie! My hubby loves ham and cheese omelettes so I think this would be a nice thing to try, it looks SOO good! Another Great video Anna…
I make homemade cheddar bay biscuits with homemade Bisquick, the key is parsley.
Bisquick banana bread is my go to. I think when deciding if a mix is "cost effective" we need to figure in time that is saved. My time (and saving additional dishes) is worth something.
Wow Thank you Anna. This was my first "grown-up" cookbook, way back when I was still in H.S. so great to see.
Thanks for the shoutout! You know I love Bisquick! I have a video coming later this month where I dive back into it. In the meantime I'm going down an impossible pie rabbit hole…. oh and Happy Birthday Jim 🙂
Thank you for including me in this collaboration! I make a bee-line to the recipe book section of my local thrift stores looking for vintage good books, I love looking through them. I've done the bisquick impossible cherry pie before, but I like the addition of the streusel .
First time here. Love your site. I have used BISQUICK all my life. In my 80’s . Will be back.❤
Old Bay Seasoning is what you're looking for to get the RL biscuits. Though ranch would be good too!
Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Hi Anna! My favorite Bisquick recipe was Impossible Cheeseburger Pie! Thank you for your videos! You are so cheerful and fun to watch!🧡
Happy birthday Jim
We still love bisquick
I have nostalgia for Bisquick! I moved to Denmark 19 years ago, so it has been a long time since I had anything Bisquick. I Googled whether I could get it here, but nope. Then, I got a bunch of links on how to make it myself. I just love your channel. Even if I can't use your exact ingredients, the nostalgia girl in me is addicted! Thank you for that!
Anna, please check out my comment on Bluland in the previous video comment section.
