Bisquick Baking Mix: An Overview
Bisquick is a baking mix introduced by Betty Crocker, a brand of General Mills, in 1930. The original product came to fruition when a top-tier sales executive of General Mills met a dining car chef who made extraordinarily delicious biscuits.
The chef revealed that the secret behind those fresh biscuits was his premixed biscuit batter. Impressed by this simple yet tasty recipe, the executive “invented” Bisquick baking mix right after his business trip.
Flour, leavening agent, fat, salt, and sugar are the core components found in a package of Bisquick. Since these ingredients are all widely available, itโs not that hard to make this baking mix at home so you can create several Bisquick dishes you like.
