Does anyone have a recipe an alternative for "Bisquick"?

[Heidi in CA]

My kids won't eat pancakes unless it is "Bisquick" pancakes. I use it for other recipes also. Does anyone out there make the "Bisquick" mix?

TIA, Heidi

Here's one:

I wouldn't use shortening though. I'd use butter instead. It has to be stored in the refrigerator, so that wouldn't be a problem for butter.

Master Baking Mix (Like Bisquick)
Makes 4 lbs (store in airtight container room temp.)
Sift together:
10 c. flour
6 T. baking powder
1 /2 T. salt
1 ½ t. cream of tartar
¼ sugar
Cut in to consistency of cornmeal:
2 c. veg. shortening
Stir in:
2 c. dry milk powder (optional but assures higher protein content)

To measure mix, pile lightly into a cup and level off with spatula.

Options:
Replace 1/3 of flour with whole wheat flour
Add 1 c. wheat germ
Replace 1 ½ c. flour with soy flour

Pancakes or waffles: (I usually double and freeze leftovers)
Beat together 1 c. milk and 1 egg
Stir in 1 ½ c. master mix
