Homemade Bisquick Mix (& Recipes to use it)

I've used this simple recipe for years.  Use it just as you would Bisquick. 
It's really great to have this on hand with all the holiday baking looming ahead! 

I made some wonderful Garlic Cheese Biscuits with it.  MMM! It's a wonderful and quick way to have biscuits on the table in no time.  Faster than mixing from scratch. 

Use it for coating chicken or veggies..whatever recipe you use that calls for Bisquick. 

It's family friendly and frugal.  Enjoy soon!
