i use a big box of bisquick and stir as
little as possible, use a big scoop and
drop on a baking sheet.
bake until done.
i have tried in the past with various
success at making them "from scratch" but i
think the results really varied with the type
of flour used.
since we so rarely make biscuits, shortcakes,
or pancakes of any kind these days it works out
well enough to have that box of pre-made mix
around, but that is one of the very few premade
mixes we bother with. for the price of the
flour and ingredients and bother involved it
ends up being acceptable to us (i'm much more
picky about added ingredients than Mom ever is).
mainly though it is that i want to control both
the sugar and salt added amounts in my foods
since we don't normally add a lot of either of
those these days i notice them a lot in canned
or other premade/processed items.
