Culinary Uses

· Original Bisquick is used to prepare pancakes. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat, or turn your griddle to 375 degrees about 5 minutes before you plan to use it. Your skillet is ready when a few drops of water skitter across the surface. Grease the cooking surface with a light coating of vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray before heating. Stir the batter with a whisk or fork, just until the ingredients are moistened. Measure ingredients carefully. Batter that is too thin will spread unevenly and result in flat pancakes. Batter that is too thick won't spread much at all. If you like your pancakes on the thinner side, add a little milk to the batter. For well-rounded pancakes about 4-inches wide, pour the batter onto the hot skillet using a ¼-cup measuring cup, a large spring-handled ice cream scoop or a large spoon. Pancakes are ready to flip when they're puffed, covered with bubbles and slightly dry around the edges. Cook the other side until it is golden brown.

· The original Bisquick can be transformed into biscuits, coffee cake, meat pies.
· Bisquick is all about versatility - from breakfast bakes and quick breads to casserole dinners and easy desserts.
· The warm pancakes may be filled with ham and cheese or feta cheese and spinach
· Original Bisquick pancakes are commonly served alongside coffee as a breakfast.
· For variety, stir fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries, finely chopped apples, thinly sliced bananas, mini- chocolate chips or nuts into the batter.
· For flavorful toppings, try sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or bananas with whipped cream or a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top.
