Bisquick Muffins Recipes

"As in making biscuits, Bisquick offers an equally new and simple solution to the muffin problem. Not only does it save time that was formerly required, but it also helps you produce finished muffins just a bit more delicate and tender."

This 1933 Bisquick recipe book is full of muffin recipes. The featured star on page twenty three is Elissa Landi.
