Glad to hear this. Before coming down sick, did have some meals I used Bisquick for but brain is struggling this am so I will need to come back.

They have a website that has recipes on it.
We make the "chicken fingers" and mini BBQ meatloafs.
They are both tolerable. The oven baked chix fingers are very good made with organic chix.
Have fun! Wizard

- I am happy to hear this - yet very sad that it contains sugar as their second ingredient. Aluminum is added, too. Boo, hoo !
Years ago, I found a GF Falafel mix and I made biscuits from that - they were delicious and not greasy as they were not fried. Adding Olive oil to the mix kept them moist but, still, they were best fresh. The texture was a bit rubbery when cold, but were good if left-overs were warmed just before eating.
Van's makes a five different flavors of GF frozen waffles. They are surprising good - and moderate on the glycemic index for occasional enjoyment. I've had both the Buckwheat and the Blueberry Buckwheat. Excellent. These have to be baked in the oven for 20 minutes, though (best if covered until the last few minutes).
These are not toaster waffles (unless a toaster oven to bake longer).
Contains: garbanzo flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, white sorghum flour, and fava bean flour.
**Manufactured in a facility that also uses tree nuts and soy**
[you would add your own baking soda and baking powder, depending upon the recipe] -

So happy to hear this! i get so excited when another company jumps on the Gluten Free ban-wagon!

Thanks, gang for all the info!! I'll have to check out their website. Sorry to hear about the aluminum. Dumb to include that in their ingredients!
'Course, I won't be eating that much of it anyway.
One thing I was wondering... It says to use "shortening" for the biscuits. Do they mean like CRISCO?? I haven't bought Crisco in about 35 yrs!!!
What can I use to substitute??
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Gluten free chicken fingers:
3/4 cup Bisquick� Gluten Free mix 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt or garlic salt 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips 2 eggs, slightly beaten 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1. Heat oven to 450�F. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. 2. Stir Bisquick mix, cheese, paprika and salt in shallow baking dish. Dip chicken strips into eggs, then coat with Bisquick mixture; repeat dipping in eggs and Bisquick mixture. Place chicken on cookie sheet. Drizzle butter over chicken. 3. Bake 12 to14 minutes, turning after 6 minutes, until no longer pink in center.

Maybe you could use coconut oil as a substitute for the crisco? I use it as a sub in baking lots of things. I don't know how it would work with gf biscuits, tho.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Is it an equal amount with substituting??
Why wouldn't butter work?
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Coconut oil does not oxidize at the same heat as butter does. With a higher flash point, coconut also won't smoke so easily. Avocado oil is really tops, though, with the highest flash point which also keeps it from oxidizing during cooking.
When oils oxidize, they can hurt the lining of our blood vessels. This is the Avocado oil recommended by Christina Pirello, on "Christina Cooks" the PBS, Create cooking show:
Keeb.. the big question is how much (of what?) will equal the shortening??

It takes so little to float your boat TuTu... it is amazing.
Talk about Bisquick... I used it the other night to fry some hardhead. It was excellent. No spices, just plain.
I cut the hardhead up in chunks.. like hard head McNuggets... and rolled them in plain Bisquick and fried them till golden brown.
REALLY good!
Looking forward to trying it on some catfish tomorrow evening.
Oh.. and I love the bisquick dumplings... yum yum. The recipe is on the box and it makes great chicken and dumplings. That and some fresh corn on the cob and tomatoes...
I'm in heaven!

Almond flour makes yummy biscuits. Expensive but worth it.

So true, so true!!! I found some shoes that fit and are comfortable (rare find) and I am on cloud nine today!!!
OH, I am so ready for some chicken and dumplings. Will have to find that recipe. It's not on my Bisquick box.
I still am waiting to make biscuits though.. gotta know what to do about the shortening.
--SIGH--
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
New shoes always make me smile too. IF comfortable.
On the regular box of Bisquick the recipe for dumplings has always been rather hidden.
Now it is on the side panel- a narrow side, not front or back. It is under the biscuits recipe.
Just for you...
2 cups Bisquick 2/3 cup milk
Mix till soft dough.
Drop by spoonfuls into boiling stew or soup (or chicken broth after cooking chicken).
Reduce heat. Cook uncovered 10 minutes.
Cover. Cook 10 minutes longer. Makes 10 dumplings.
ENJOY!!!!

OH MY!! I may have to get busy cooking this weekend!! Woo hoo!!
New shoes AND biscuits (and chicken and dumplings, my all time favorite food!!)
One of my friends just came by (yes, I have a few friends!.. ) and she said Crisco comes in rectangular packets now so you don't have to buy a big can of it. Who knew??
Yeehaw!! Thanks for the recipe, TC!!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
PS.. I just checked the box and the recipe is nowhere to be seen. Guess they don't think celiacs like chicken and dumplings or something? Posted by carly (Member # 14810) on :
Well, I guess you don't buy much Crisco. Those sticks have been around for maybe (?) 10 yrs or more.
Certainly you could substitute butter! (I personally think you could find a way to put more butter into anything) Crisco has a conversion on the packaging. I don't know what it is off-hand. It's not quite 1:1, I don't think.
The coconut oil can be used 1:1. It's flash point is close to that of Crisco's, and it's texture is great for baking (being a solid at room temp.)
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
I have to say I'm sorry TuTu. I was laughing because you got so excited over bisquick.
And here I am on a Saturday night coming here to see if you got the recipe.
Says a lot for both our social lives, doesn't it? HA!
And worse yet.. I'm excited about this comment you made. Am grinning over it!
Yes, as my kid says, I need to get a life!

TC....I know exactly what you meant and you are SO RIGHT!! I knew I had recipes (somewhere) for things made with Bisquick...so I was HAPPY!!
I DO need a life...but I kinda like the one I got!!
carly... Haven't bought Crisco in about 30 yrs. Seriously! I couldn't believe there were no cans!! My friend is a great cook. She was probably silently laughing at my comment about buying a whole can!!

- Crisco is not really that good for anyone. No hydrogenated oils are. They are just a heart attack waiting to happen.
Extra virgin Olive Oil is a much better to use. Avocado oil, or coconut oil, too. There are so many better choices if one wants to stay out of heart surgery. Hydrogenated oils are killer oils, literally.
McDonald's chicken McNuggets served in the U.S. contain tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a petroleum-based product . . .
. . . TBHQ is a preservative for vegetable oils and animal fats, supposedly limited to .02 percent of the oil in the nugget.
But according to ``A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives, ''One gram can cause nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.''
TBHQ is also added to varnishes, lacquers, resins, and oil field additives, and used industrially and in cosmetics to lower the evaporation rate and improve stability. . . .

Cooking the gluten-free dumplings
My conclusion
The resulting gluten-free pot stickers had an earthy, hearty quality that hit the spot on these cold days of winter. We enjoyed them with a dipping sauce of Chinkiang vinegar, ginger, chile oil and (gluten-free) soy sauce.
I wouldn't say that these gluten-free dumpling wrappers were an equal substitute for the regular wrappers - but rather just a different kind of wrapper. . . .They are at their best when pan-fried into gluten-free pot stickers. . . . -

The Brown Rice Grand Shells would work very well in a Chicken or Turkey Stew and create a bit of a Dumpling effect.
Trader Joe's has a nice PENNE, too. I add a handful of Penne to chicken soup about 15 minutes before serving. Very nice, indeed. -

Thanks for the recipes, Keeb!!
I KNEW there was a reason I hadn't been buying Crisco! I'll do one batch, then give the other two sticks to my friend.
I'm a lazy cook, so we'll see how far I get.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I finally made them this evening. They weren't anything like real biscuits... shoulda known!
Anyway, they were better than nothing, which is what I usually deal with.
Can't eat too much of that kind of thing!
Thanks for all the help. Will print out the recipes for future use!
