Baking Essential: Savory Italian Style Bisquick image

If you know me, you understand that I try to come up with substitute recipes for just about anything I am able. For example, things like canned soups, etc This is a pretty standard recipe for making faux Bisquick. It is a bit different, because I have given it more of an Italian slant. I would not use this recipe for making...

Categories     Biscuits

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
3 c flour, all-purpose variety
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder, not soda
1 tsp salt, kosher variety
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 c lard, cubed and cooled

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. I use lard, because it gives this recipe the best rise, when using in things like biscuits. However, you could use vegetable shortening, or even sweet, unsalted butter.
  • 3. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4. Add all the ingredients (except the lard) to a food processor fitted with an S-blade, or a good blender, like a Vitamix (I love my Vitamix), and give it a few pulses to mix the ingredients.
  • 5. Add the cold, cubed lard, and use 1-second pulses until the mixture resembles corn meal.
  • 6. Place in a sealed container in the fridge, and let sit a few days before using (it really makes a difference in the savory flavors of the mixture).
  • 7. Chef's Note: The spice combination I use is based on what I like. If you other spices you want to add... Go For It.
  • 8. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 9. Use anywhere you have a savory dish that calls for "standard" bisquick. Enjoy.
  • 10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
