    Bisquick Blitz: 10 Amish Recipes Using Bisquick, Plus Homemade Bisquick

    Published: Jun 29, 2017 · Updated: Jun 29, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    This is a good "Throwback Thursday" post because who doesn't have a yellow box of Bisquick tucked away in their pantry someplace?  At least here in the USA.  Growing up, there was always a box of Bisquick in my Grandma's pantry.  When I moved out into my first apartment she taught me how to make dumplings out of this mix and soon it became a staple in my pantry when I moved to a college town and my own place.   I went on a real dumpling kick for awhile, and then sort of got out of my Bisquick habit, but it's still a staple to hang onto for one's kitchen.  Amish Cooks and Bisquick?  Yes, it is a mix that is found in many Amish kitchens.  It's sort of a way to cut a corner, which is not a bad thing if you are an Amish homemaker with six or seven children to care for.

    Now, you can make your own "Bisquick", you don't have to buy the iconic golden box.  So I'll start out today's Bisquick Blitz with two recipes for "homemade Bisquick" from two Amish cooks. You can take your pick on which mix you want to use.

    THE AMISH COOK'S HOMEMADE BISQUICK

    MRS. STUTZMAN'S HOMEMADE BAKING MIX

    And now, here is our gallery of favorite Amish recipes using Bisquick!

    DEEP DISH TACO SQUARES:  This is a really popular recipe among the Amish

    Versatile Bisquick is just as much home with meat as it is with veggies, try this popular Amish chicken recipe. This is called "fried chicken" but it is actually baked in the oven.

    Yum, this is an Amish classic that combines Bisquick with summer veggies!

    CHICKEN GARDEN BAKE

    1 cup chopped zucchini

    ½ cup Bisquick

    2 eggs

    ½ teaspoon salt

    ½ teaspoon pepper

    Heat oven to 400. Lightly grease an 8 X 8 square baking dish or 9 inch pie plate. Sprinkle zucchini evenly in baking pan. Beat remaining ingredients for 1 minute or until smooth. Pour evenly in dish. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

    I think chicken just goes better, for some reason, with Bisquick, I've not run across a recipe for "Bisquick Beef", but this an Amish recipe for chicken that I found!

    Coat chicken with we mixture then coat with dry mixture.
    Place chicken in pan with remaining oil/butter mixture and bake for 45 minutes

    And, Bisquick for breakfast:
