MY FAVORITE RECIPE!


Who could NOT love Bisquick? The San Francisco treat, ding~ding......
Do you realize that this post-modern marvel can make pizza, cheeseburger pie, sausage rolls, and oven fried chicken? Then, for a nice side item, you've got biscuits, dumplings, and quick herb bread. As the grand finale' there is monkey bread, impossible apple pie, shortcake, cupcakes, dream cakes, I believe you could even make a wedding cake with this miracle mix! But wait, there's more! Don't forget breakfast! Pancakes, waffles, muffins, and danish! Is there anything this product can't do? World Peace?
I've heard that someone went through Julia Child's Amazing French Cook Book, and made every single dish and wrote a blog about it! Then it became a best seller, & is now a film. Pooh! Pooh! Who cares about sauces, flambee', reductions, and saffron? I just might go through every single Bisquick recipe known to womankind to prove how VITAL this product is! I'm talkin' about rib sticking, high carb treats like: Ultimate Chicken Fingers, Crock Pot Volcano Cake, Easy Fresh Fruit Tart, Taco Chicken, or Spinach Cheese Bread! My mouth is watering like crazy just typing these delights~~~~
Now for the good new: You can read the ingredients on the box! Amazingly, this product, which is a God-send to the culinary world, only has the following ingredients: Enriched Flour, Cottonseed/Soybean Oil, Leavening, Dextrose, Salt, THAT'S IT!!! For your reading pleasure I googled 'dextrose' so we could all be informed eaters. Here's a little hint~ any word that rhymes with 'GLUCOSE', is kin to it! Since glucose is sugar, SO IS DEXTROSE! YIPPEEEEE I love modern science! Anyway, back to our story.....................
Since this is turning into a chemistry lesson, I went ahead and averaged the amount of Bisquick used in most of the recipes. It is 1.3479 cups. Remember this number..........forever if possible....
With this in mind, each serving of this Miracle Mix Meal Maker has only about 200 calories! And NO, that's right; ZERO colesterol, and the added bonuse of 1g of fiber.....WOW! Of course a serving is the size of a nickle, but who minds when you are eating Easy Sweet & Sour Pork that's on the table in 20 minutes?
WARNING! DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH!
Unfortuneatley not all baking mixes are created equal. Someone high up on the food chain of command decided to make 'knock-off' Bisquick! It's strange but true. "Why", you may ask? Because they want to SELL it to poor unsuspecting folks who also buy knock off Gucci & Coach bags! There's a huge, gigantic market for this kind of thing! BUT WHAT KIND OF COOK ARE YOU? Hopefully not the kind that wants to save $0.60 in order to feed their loved ones cheap white flour, white lard, white salt, white sugar, white baking soda, and white baking powder!
But wait there's more.
Right now, for a limited time only, you can get a $0.60 coupon at the fabulously official Bisquick web page. Run down to your favorite triple-coupon-store and get an entire box for just pennies!
Be warned~ Bisquick is addictive!!!!!!!!!!!! Just to get you started I have included my very special recipe for Garlic Biscuits ala' Red Lobster. If you have ever eaten at this famous restaurant, you will know the BEST item on the menu is their hot, buttery, fresh from the oven, garlic biscuits. Here is how to whip up these melt in your mouth morsels:

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix (do not substitute)

¾ cup cold whole milk (do not substitute)

4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)(don't substitute here either!)

¼ teaspoon garlic powder (no substitutions allowed)

1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese (do not substitute, please)

Bush on Top:

2 tablespoons butter, melted

¼ teaspoon dried parsley flakes (you may cheat here)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

pinch salt (you can cheat here too, but don't blame me if your family feeds them to the dog)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter, large fork, two knives, or a hoe. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and ¼ teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. This is VITAL............

3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. If you make them too small, they sort of dry out too much.

4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in ½ teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.

That's it! These biscuits stand alone! Serve these Yum Yums with anything you want!

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
