You’re right. The impossible pies started in the late 70s and I was always making them. I would get the recipes from women’s magazines. I was just in my 20s and married. I would tell my mom I’m making an impossible cherry pie or an impossible meat pie whatever it was and she asked me Why are all your pies impossible???😂😅. Great memories. ❤
Oh man, for the first time in my life I see that they have named it Bisquick because it’s short for a quick biscuit! Sometimes my brain works super slowly.
Ok, here's mine. I waitressed for a couple hundred years, writing RB for roast beef (dinner, sandwich, etc) for the cook. Suddenly one day... epiphany!! Arby!! LOLOL, still laughing at myself for that one.
I lived in Poland for 10 years and couldn't get Bisquick, so I made my own with a copycat recipe and kept it in a ziplock bag in the fridge. It worked so well that now that I am back in the USA, I still make my own.
@@MacieRivera 6 cups flour, 3 Tablespoons baking powder, 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 9 Tablespoons canola oil. Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix well. Using an electric mixer, slowly stir in oil. Mix until all lumps are gone, about 1 minute. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
I am old school and was a only child so learned how to make small stuff. Then married into a large family and cooked for them. Then divorced didn’t remarry but had a new family with the love of my life unfortunately he passed so I’m back to smaller cooking . You’re the best and I hope you have great things coming in your life after this surgery🙏❤️❤️
I have a Bisquick recipe that I make all the time for lunch. It's written in my grandmother's handwriting (she's been gone for 30 years now) and she called it squash pie. It's essentially Bisquick, onion, eggs, chopped zucchini, parmesan cheese and a few spices. I've been making it for years! I also like to use the recipe on the box for dumplings to add to a pot of beef stew. So good!
@@kathywright15 Sometimes I just add broth to a pot (about 2 inches) and make dumplings to serve as a side dish with chicken or beef. Fabulous side dish! Or, topped with chicken pot pie filling!! It did NOT work paired with fish.
Thanks Anna🎉 Always being on a tight budget I never have baking mix or bisquick on hand as well as flour . Do thetes a substitute for bisquick. 1 cup flour 1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder 1/4 tsp. Salt 1 Tbsp oil or melted butter Mix until resembles fine crumbs. Can keep it in freezer to have on hand.❤
Here’s an idea for future video, a lot of cook books have a “master mix” recipe, a homemade Bisquick mix. Make a master mix then a few suggested recipes using the master mix.
Oh hey! What fun to get a shout out! I'm so tickled that you used one of the "check-marked" recipes. We've had really good peaches here, too, so I think I'll grab some and give it a try.
The Bisquick coffee cake is next level, I can make a pan on Saturday morning and it's gone before work Monday morning. I make double streusel and put half in the middle of the cake. So good warm.
I grew up with Bisquick but didn’t use it much after being on my own. I now live in France where you can’t find Bisquick. Like some here, I make my own. I use butter, so it stays in my fridge. I make the cheeseburger impossible pie and it’s become a favorite. This cookbook looks fun!
I purchased this cookbook when I was first married in 1972 and cooked from it for years. I don’t use Bisquick since I changed my cooking and dietary habits but I do remember the easy recipes. I have fond memories of the peach cobbler recipe! Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Hi Anna! The peach pudding looks amazing. I remember when the impossible pie trend started in the late 70s. Making impossible vegetable quiche was so popular where I lived! We had Bisquick at home and I used it for the quiche, making coffee cakes, and sometimes for other recipes, but almost never for pancakes (which I think is the primary use for most people). I hope you continue to feel better day by day after your surgery. Thanks for the video!
My mom has had that book my whole life! It is well loved. It messes up my book shelf though, so it's always on top. I think she got her dumpling recipe from that book. She boils chicken with onion and then she adds some of that broth to Bisquick and places big spoonfuls into the simmering pot and let's it go about 10 minutes. They are fluffy little clouds of goodness and she can't make enough, we always want more. It's a great book, so many amazing meals. If you've got Bisquick, you won't go hungry.
I absolutely understand your love for that gorgreous toaster oven! I am also in love with mine. It is small and cute and if you are not cooking for a small army, it is the greatest kitchen equipment! Why would I heat up the big oven for cooking literally one meal for one person? I highly recommend everyone to get one small toaster oven, especially young single adults! ❤
I have to say I absolutely agree with you on the pepperoni square thingies. I would just add the egg raw or just omit it completely. I think it would make a good drop biscuit better than like a casserole
I just put some peaches, two different ways, in the freezer today for a winter treat. I still have some and may make this peach pudding. I do love my Bisquick cookbooks and have used them forever, but have never tried this recipe. Glad to see you are looking so well!
First things I learned to make as a kid were Bisquick pancake. We made the cinnamon coffee cake, the pizza dough, the sausage rolls,dumplings, and of course, biscuits.
In the 70's my mom would make a huge chicken pot pie with chicken & frozen mixed vegetables with bisquick drop biscuit crust on top in her big white corning casserole with blue cornflower design. I loved it (hated the veg)!
I'm biscuit and pie crust challenged! Even with Bisquick, I can't make biscuits. But if your favorite hockey team ever needs replacement hockey pucks, give me a call! LOL!
Great job with the Bisquik. I have both of the yellow books I and II and love them. The first recipe I would have added a bit of extra moisture to make it come together better, you have to remember back in the 70's we were not exact on our measurements and things just got done. The egg is probably for extra protein and something to add in for good measure. lol Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day
Plus Betty Crocker has changed the formula of modern Bisquick, so the Bisquick that went into the old recipes is different from today’s Bisquick. I think they took some of the fat out for some reason. The old biscuit recipe for example calls for just Bisquick and milk, the new one calls for Bisquick, milk, and a tablespoon of oil. When I make Biscuits with the old recipe now they come out dry and crumbly. 😢 I wish I knew how to convert the older recipes for the newer Bisquick…
I always love your videos, but this one is especially near and dear! My mom cooked from this particular book ALL THE TIME. Just last year, we did a family dinner with a number of the Bisquick Impossible Pies! It was a winner!
I have that cookbook and have used it SO much over the 50 years I have had it-I think it was a premium with sending in the coupons one would find on General Mills products. I know make my own "Bisquick" using coconut oil instead of shortening.
Thank you for the video! My mom & I used to make a Bisquick pizza crust when I was growing up & have make your own pizza nights on the weekends sometimes. Such great memories!
I have this cookbook, too, along with several other Bisquick cookbooks including the one dedicated to Impossible Pies. Do you remember the sausage balls that were made with Bisquick, raw sausage and cheddar cheese? We used to make them all the time for parties. I think you could substitute chopped pepperoni for the sausage and they would be delicious. My beef with Bisquick is they've changed the recipe so much over the years that's it's not as good as it used to be. I've saved the boxes over the years for the recipes so I can see how the ingredients have changed.
My mom (married in 1962) made those sausage balls too! And it was one of the recipes she passed along to me when I moved out on my own in the late ‘80s. I made those a couple of times as a party dish. (Then I developed fancy gourmet tastes and my menus changed.)
You’re the first person I’ve seen who mentioned the recipe changing- that would explain a lot I think, I have a 60s bisquick cookbook and I’ve been underwhelmed by the recipes. I wonder if they were better with the formula from the time
Bisquick (and also the similar Jiffy pancake and baking mix) was always in my mother’s cupboard, she made Bisquick’s chicken pot pie which used to be on the back of the box, with the batter like pour over crust, which was made in a pie plate, (1cup Bisquick, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 egg). The first things I learned to bake were muffins using the Bisquick recipe which you could adapt by adding fruit, spices, etc and the velvet crumb cake.
I have that same Bisquick recipe book. The only recipe my husband refused to eat was the peanut butter and jelly coffee cake, The stuffing biscuits also make great dumplings for chicken stew.
I have been watching this video with my copy open on my lap! My grown children still remember making Zebra bread (page 40) outside on the grill. I don't use Bisquick as often as I once did. I'll have to get some again, Fun video! Thank you!
I found that cookbook on a trip i took last christmas. I love to collect vintage cookbooks and this one caught my eye because of the size and then of course the title. I love it because it has such easy ideas to use up Bisquick, simple things I just normally wouldn't think of. Love your channel, love your content.
There was a wonderful coffee cake recipe, and a friend made it even better by spooning gel canned cranberry sauce in spots on top and sinking it in pressing a spoon into the batter, then bake. It oozed into the coffee cake. Could add walnuts, too.
These are great Recipes Anna!! I really wanna try that Peachy Pudding Bake, that looks so yummy!! Bisquick is always something I have on hand, so I welcome these recipes. Thanks for sharing!
YUM!! the pot pie and peach pudding looked soooooo good! Peaches are crazy good right now like you mentioned, I’m eating like 3 a day as long as the season lasts! I LOVE hearing about the bisquick banner! Thank you, Anna! I hope you’re being kind to yourself! ✌️😌✨
That “Ham Upside Down Casserole” you briefly mentioned is good👍 My mom used to make it out of leftovers after holidays 😢 Great video; the Pot Pie and Peach Cobbler both looked really nice (pot pie definitely needs some veggies though) 😊
I had a bf whose mom was Sicilian. She put boiled eggs in all kinds of strange places. It was weird eating a baked dish with slices of hard boiled eggs in the middle. I've always assumed it was a regional thing. :)
I think for the pepperoni appetizer I would chop the egg up much finer. I think it would hold together better. I’m going to give it a go and see. I like a challenge. 😊 I also think the turkey pot pie looks delicious and like you, I would add in some more veggies…probably peas and diced carrots. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Anna! Bisquick was a staple in our house when I was a kid. My mom would use it for both sweet and savory dishes. Thank you for featuring a few recipes! Turkey/chicken potpie, YUM! Peachie pudding bake, double YUM!! As always, you are awesome! ❤
Mamy years ago I saw my local weatherman who was Italian cooking a family favorite of his on tv. It was a casserole made of Marconi, Red Sauce, Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Swiss, and Diced Hardboiled Eggs. So I've seen this combo before.
Thanks Anna! I really enjoy all your videos❤(I think I’ve seen just about every one by now). I love your choice of recipes to try (except the tuna ones) and I especially like that they are typically easy and most of all, comforting. I am surprised when I’m almost certain that something is going to suck, yet turns out pretty good lol. You’ve got me buying more vintage books now and I adore them! 😊
Grew up with Bisquick. My grandma would mix diced ham, spinach, onions, peppers, and some fresh dill along with a crushed hard boiled egg. She took the Bisquick and mixed it with some tallow and hot milk to make a dough. She would take a handful of the dough and flatten in her hand and then scoop some of the ham mix on top and roll them to form like a bread stick. Once tallow wasn't available and things changed to using crisco she stopped making them as the Crisco is just not good and tastes awful. Baked them and served with a lemon sauce. OMG they where so good. I miss the older ingredients which where way healthier than what they have now in the grocery stores.
