How do you make bisquick?

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening

- 1/2 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. Use a pastry blender (or two knives) to cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to pulse the ingredients together until they are combined.

4. Gradually add the milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together and forms a ball.

6. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape each into a disk about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.

7. Place the disks on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges and cooked through.

8. Let the disks cool completely on a wire rack before breaking them into pieces and storing in an airtight container.

These homemade bisquick mix can be used in various recipes just as the store-bought bisquick mix. Keep in mind that this homemade version won't have the same preservatives as the store-bought one, so it's best to use it within a few weeks.
