For the Love of Bisquick

I'm taking a break from writing a novel length post today, and going to enlighten you guys on the joys and wonders of Bisquick, if you're not enlightened already.

For those of you who don't know it, Bisquick is a baking product, and as it proclaims itself on the front package, an "original all-purpose baking mix." Basically, flour, baking soda and other good stuff mixed together. Its appeal to me is that I can fake a lot of homemade type dishes with it and they taste good and it makes it easy on me -- pancakes, empanadas, other stuff. Anyway, not to toot its horn too much, I am offering this recipe for Peach Cobbler. It's great because it taste super, super good but requires almost no effort. I got the recipe off a website, and apparently there are whole cookbooks and movements out there dedicated to Bisquick.

Bisquick Peach Cobbler

1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1 cup milk
1 cup bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 can peaches (or pineapple, mixed fruit, strawberries (fresh is great), berries)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in baking pan (you can nuke the butter or melt it on stovetop if your pan can take it). Mix milk, Bisquick, sugar with the butter. Add peaches (or other fruit) and bake it for 35 to 45 minutes.


This stuff is so good, it won't last the night. Great with ice cream and whipped cream too.


Anyhoo, have a great weekend!!! -Hero
