WOW Bisquick Master Mix

I often look for good copy-cat recipes so we can enjoy our favorites at home for a lot less than we have to pay at our favorite restaurants. I was trying, once again, to find a really good substitue for Bisquick - I use it a lot for pancakes but it gets costly. This recipe is truly a nearly perfect substitute. Nearly perfect you ask? Yes, it's actually BETTER than Bisquick according to blind taste tests on my family of many (and more than a couple picky eaters).

YUM!!!!
