Forget the Bisquick

Why would you buy something when you can make it cheaper with very little trouble? Here's a self rising crust that's great for cobblers. For meat pies, just omit the sugar!

1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 TB oil
Enough milk to make a thick but pourable batter.

Mix it all up and dump it in a baking dish, put the fruit in on top (two cans worth) and bake about an hour at around 400 degrees.

Older cookbooks have recipes for biscuit mix--has everything except the liquid ingredients. It makes a large quantity and you store it in the fridge for quite a while. Usually there are recipes for using it. Makes great pancakes and muffins.

Bisquick doesn't make good biscuits, in my opinion, so I make them from scratch. Pancakes and muffins aren't hard to make, either. A homemade mix might hurry things up a bit, though and it's definitely cheaper than a commercial mix.
