I was super-excited when I found out that General Mills was coming out with Gluten-Free Betty Crocker cake mixes, Bisquick and Chex! I was very un-excited when I found out its only available in the USA. I wrote to them eagerly wanting to know if and when we could get it in Canada... only to receive an automated response that "the product I was inquiring on was only available in the USA" - well DUH! ...
My sister was going to Michigan for a wedding and brought me back some of the mixes to try. The one thing I found I could not live without was the Bisquick. It made great pancakes and waffles and served as a great base for muffins.
One of my good work-friends went to Boston on a shopping trip and brought me back 2 more boxes - I was thrilled. As they eventually ran out, I thought - surely I can figure out how to make this myself based on the ingredients that are on the box... its just a baking mix.
1 cup of white rice flour
1/2 cup of sugar1/2 cup of potato starch
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp GF baking soda
Sift well and store in an airtight container... I doubt its exact, but it does the same job as the Bisquick does...
The BEST thing that I made from them is chocolate chip muffins!
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 egg1 tsp oil
1 cup chocolate chips
Mix well in a hand or stand mixer for about 2-3 minutes - the batter will thicken up.Bake in greased muffin tins for 15-20 minutes at 400F until browned and cooked through.
Cool and ENJOY! Makes 10-12 muffins.

Came out wonderfully with the gluten free "bisquick" mix!
Glad to hear!!
***NOTE ON THE RED LOBSTER BISCUITS!***
Gluten Free Bisquick does not have a fat component in it like the original. Put the 1/4 cup of margarine / butter right IN the mix. (for further explaination see this link http://www.allbusiness.com/consumer-products/food-beverage-products-baked-goods/15465655-1.html)
Wanted to say thanks for this, I just did this recipe. I like the texture and flavour was pretty good, but IMO I found them quite sweet compared to what I expected. I think next time I'll cut back the sugar a decent amount.
None the less, the recipe is a keeper. Again, thanks! :)
