Bisquicks ... the modern name for baking powder biscuits. The modern EASIER, QUICKER, SURER way of making those glorious, light, tender, fluffy biscuits so delicious with any meal... so smart for any party occasion.
Rolled
Bisquicks
2 cups Bisquick
3/4 cup milk (or 2/3 cup water)
Stir milk into Bisquick. Beat dough hard for 30 seconds to make it tighten up enough to handle. Turn dough on well-floured, cloth covered board. Pat, round it up and fold over 3 times.
Roll out lightly with rolling pin, 1/2 to 1 inch thick,
depending on how thick you want the biscuits. Cut with biscuit cutters. For biscuits
with crusty sides, place a little apart on a baking sheet. For biscuits with soft
sides, place close together. Bake quickly in a very hot oven, 475 F., 10 to 12
minutes.
This makes 18 biscuits cut with 1 3/4 inch cutter from 1/2 inch thick
dough.
Dropped Bisquicks
Stir 1 cup milk or 7/8 cup water into 2 cups Bisquick. Mix well by beating dough for 30 seconds. Drop by spoonfuls on lightly greased baking sheet or into muffin pans.
Butter Cakes
Use Dropped Bisquick recipe and drop by small spoonfuls on a generously buttered griddle. Bake slowly until golden brown on bottom. Turn and bake until other side is golden brown and they are well done through - about 15 or 20 minutes.
Cheese Bisquicks

favorite, which is Cheese Bisquicks. It says, "This is the delicious type
biscuit favored by Gloria Swanson for her intimate parties." Gloria

Chocolate Bisquicks
Add 4 tablespoons cocoa to Bisquick dough recipe, and use 7/8 cup milk, instead of 3/4 cup.
Bran Bisquicks
Mix 1 1/2 cup Bisquick and 1/2 cup bran. Add 5/8 cup of milk. (5/8 cup is the same as 3/4 cup minus 2 tablespoons.) Mix and bake as Bisquicks. Roll the biscuits a little thicker than usual.
Wheaties Bisquicks
Add 1 cup or 2 cups Wheaties, depending on amount of Wheaties desired, to 2 cups Bisquick. Proceed as for Bisquicks. Use a little more milk (1 cup instead of 3/4 cup) when adding the 2 cups Wheaties.
Hot Pimento Bisquicks
Make Rolled Bisquicks according to directions. Place a little apart in a heavy loaf pan. Melt a package of soft spreading Pimento Cheese with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour hot cheese and butter over Bisquicks - just enough to cover. Bake 10 minutes in a hot oven, 450 F.
Philadelphia Tea Cakes
Cut half the Bisquicks with round cutter; and the other half with a ring (donut cutter). Brush tops of plain rounds with beaten egg and milk; place doughnut shaped circles on top of plain rounds; sprinkle tops with confectioner's sugar and bake. Remove from baking sheet and put a teaspoon of jelly or jam in the center hole.
Tomato Cheese Bisquicks
Add 4 tablespoons grated cheese to 2 cups Bisquick and follow recipe for Bisquicks, using 2/3 cup tomato juice for liquid in place of milk or water.
Orange Tea Bisquicks
Add grated rind of 1 orange to 2 cups Bisquick. Follow recipe for Bisquicks. When placed on pan, dip 1/2 cube of loaf sugar in orange juice and press into top of each Bisquick.
Jam Bisquicks
Make Bisquicks according to recipe on package. Cut with a small cutter. Place on a baking sheet. Put 1 tsp. raspberry jam on the top of each, slightly pressing it into the top. Orange Marmalade may be used or any preferred jam. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a hot oven, 450 F.
Cheese Roll-em-ups
2 cups of Bisquick
3/4 cup
milk
1/2 cup softened pimento cheese
3 tblsp. butter
Make Bisquick
dough according to directions for Rolled Bisquicks. Roll dough into a very long
narrow oblong shape about 1/4 inch thick. Soften an easy spreading pimento cheese
by blending in the butter and a little milk. (Or use 1 pkg. white cream cheese
and blend with butter and 3 tblsp. chopped pimentos.) Spread on Bisquick dough.
Roll up as for Jelly Roll. (Be sure the roll is narrow) Place on baking sheet,
and with a sharp knife slice 1/3 of the way through the roll every inch, to mark
the slices. Bake 20 minutes in a hot oven 450 F. This makes 10 to 12 servings.
Note:
Break apart with 2 forks at the places marked. Do not cut. Serve hot.
Whole Wheat Bisquicks
Substitute 1/2 to 1 cup of coarse whole wheat, depending
on the amount of whole wheat desired, in place of the same amount of Bisquick
in Bisquick recipe.
