Baking mixes can save a lot of time, but may also add more to your grocery bill than you wish. Here are a couple of recipes to save you both time and money in your meal preparations. Both recipes were originally from Hillbilly Housewife.
Basic Baking Mix

1 1/2 T. salt

Thanks for saving the day! After making chicken pot pie with a bisquick crust for dinner last night, I decided I wanted to make strawberry shortcakes. But there wasn't enough Bisquick left. Remembered having read this post so I mixed up my own. The shortcakes were wonderful!
