40 years or so ago I had a recipe for a quick coffee cake using Bisquick. I remember jam or preserves was spooned onto the batter and would bake into it. There was also brown sugar on the top. Does this ring a bell with anybody?

This may be the old classic Bisquick cherry swirl coffee cake:

BISQUICK - CHERRY SWIRL COFFEE CAKE

4 c. Bisquick mix
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
3 eggs
1 (21 oz.) can cherry or apricot or blueberry pie filling

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease jelly roll pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch or 2 squares pans, 9 x 9 x 1 inch.

Mix all ingredients except pie filling and glaze; beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Spread 2/3 of the batter (about 2 1/2 cups) in jelly roll pan or 1/3 of the batter (about 1 1/4 cups) in each square pan. Spread pie filling over batter (filling may not cover batter completely). Drop remaining batter by tablespoonful onto pie filling.

Bake until light brown, 20-25 minutes. Drizzle with glaze while warm. Serve warm or cool. 18 servings.

GLAZE:

1 c. powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp. milk

Beat sugar and milk until smooth and of desired consistency.

OR make the batter, omit the pie filling and handle with jam/preserves this way:

1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup peach, strawberry, or pineapple preserves

Topping:
2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Spoon both preserves over the batter, then swirl through the batter with a knife. Mix topping ingredients with fork or fingers until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes, until done. Cut into squares and serve while still warm.

Years ago I had a small recipe book that came inside of a Bisquick box. My children esp liked cinnimon peachy whirly gigs. They were small cinnimon rolls baked with canned peaches with the syrup thickened with cornstarch. My daughter wants to make them for her children and I cant find the recipe.

How about this microwave quickie?

Caramel-Pecan Coffee Cake
Serves: 2

Prep: 5 min
Microwave: 7 min
Stand: 1 min

How would you like to have a fresh-baked coffee cake, dripping with brown sugar caramel and pecans, on the table in less than 15 minutes? Here's the secret: use your microwave! It really is possible-and it's incredibly delicious too!

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Original Bisquick
1/4 cup cold water

1. Place butter in 1-quart casserole. Microwave uncovered on High (100%) until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, pecans, corn syrup and cinnamon; spread evenly in casserole. Microwave
uncovered until bubbly, 45 to 60 seconds. Tilt casserole so brown sugar mixture runs to side; place 6-ounce juice glass in center of casserole (the glass prevents a doughy center- make sure it is microwave safe).
2. Mix Bisquick and water until soft dough forms. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto brown sugar mixture. Place casserole on inverted plate in microwave oven. Microwave uncovered on Medium-high
(70%) 2 minutes; rotate casserole 1/2 turn. Microwave uncovered until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes longer.
3. Remove glass. Immediately invert on heatproof serving plate; let casserole stand 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over coffee cake. Serve warm.

I am looking for a similiar recipe book back in 1980 publication by BETTY CROCKER and titled CREATIVE RECIPES WITH BISQUICK.
A friend shared it with me, but of course, I
have to return it to her.
I enjoy baking with bisquick recipes and sharing them with neighbors and at the senior sites we attend.

Bisquick had a recipe that came in a promotional pamphlet inside the box. It tasted good but lost the recipe. Some of the ingredients I remember were shrimp, crab, bean sprouts, bisquick, flour, french cut beans, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, baking powder/soda. When deep fried, it puff up.

I am looking for a strawberry cobbler recipe that my mom made in the 1960's. The crust was made from Bisquick, a can of beer and other ingredients. It seems like the batter was fairly runny and was poured over the fruit instead of dropped by the spoonful. Friends have suggested that my mom was just drinking beer while she cooked, but I remember the distinct flavor of the crust.
ellen
09/07/09
You have rude friends!
There are a bunch of Bisquick beer bread/ beer muffin/ beer biscuit recipes from that era, any of which could be dropped/poured over the fruit of choice. The addition of the beer gave the batter a yeasty, more "home made" flavor, it was thought. Here is a very simple one:

BEER BREAD

2 c. Bisquick
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. beer (your choice)

In a mixing bowl, blend the Bisquick and sugar, then add the beer. Stir until well blended. Spoon the batter into a loaf pan or into individual muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Some folks use 3 cups of bisquick and add an egg.

Years ago when i was in middle school (this would have been about mid eighties) and i remember my mother making a Bisquik recipe for these tart-like things that were like sweet biscuits, and she would drop jelly in the middle of them before cooking. Please help since this was easily my favorite breakfast growing up and i would love to make it for my family.

Thank-you so very much!!I have been looking all over for the Betty Crocker peachy whirly gigs recipe. I even contacted the Betty Crocker company and they sent me a recipe that wasn't even close. I made this frequently when my kids were small, and it was a favorite. About a year ago my daughter asked me to make it again and I couldn't find the recipe. Thanks to you I can now surprise her on her upcoming birthday with this delicious dessert.

Trying to find old Bisquick coffee cake recipe. Have seen many old ones that look great but my Mother used to make one that you heated up the streusel (butter, brown sugar, etc.) and then put it all over the cake after it was removed from the oven. Any ideas?
ellen
07/23/10
I will look, but this may be a no-show. Was there anything special about the cake layer? There was a vogue for a Bisquick oatmeal cake where you put the topping on and ran it back under the broiler in the late 60's and early 70's.
John
07/23/10
Thanks for getting back to me. Nothing special about the cake layer. The recipe said to poke holes into the cake after it was removed from the oven and drizzled all over the top. Definitely not Oatmeal. Had to be on the box in the mid-late 80's. I think streusel was just melted butter, brown sugar.

My aunt made a blueberry pudding cake or cobbler from a Bisquick recipe in the late 1950s and early 1960s. I lost the recipe several years ago and would love to have it again! It was more solid; not runny and I served it warm with ice cream.

It may have been made with fresh or frozen blueberries, not blueberry pie filling. This off -site recipe might suit:

A variation drops blueberry pie filling on top of the batter, juicier but not as juicy as the fruit on the bottom ones.

Coffee Cake-Microwave-Custard Cups
I believe that maybe the Classic Coffee Cake is the basic recipe that I am looking for. When I was in high school in the mid-80's, my friend's mother would make individual coffee cakes for us in custard cups. She would cook them in the microwave and we could dip them in melted butter and then in a sugar and cinnamon mixture. If you have any insight as to what the recipe and cooking times might....I would be thrilled and my husband and four kids would thank you.

Looking for old recipe from Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook. It was a small white cookbook with 7 mini cookbooks in one with step-by-step recipes. The recipe I'm looking for was for a coconut cake with no icing and then I would poke holes in it and drizzle confectioners sugar onto the top. Thanx in advance.

Bisquick Strawberry Swirl Coffee Cake w/struesel
I am looking for a coffee cake that was made with Bisquick, but you swirled strawberry jam through it and then sprinkled with streusel. It was from the late 80's or early 90's. I have tried several recipes, but they aren't as moist. I would love any help you can provide.

I'm having trouble finding an 80s Bisquick recipe called Jazzberry Muffins. Basically I remember using Bisquick, milk, sugar, and maybe oil to make the muffin batter. The batter was dropped into muffin tins and a tablespoon of jam/preserves was dropped into the center. After baking, each muffin was dipped into melted butter and then sugar. Easy to make and really good! Can you help me?

Carol, here is the traditional Bisquick sweet muffin recipe. Dip in butter and sugar to taste:

1 egg

2 cups Bisquick

8531; cup sugar

8532; cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/3 to 1/2 cup jam, stirred to loosen gel

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 12 cup muffin pan.
Mix everything but the jam until just lumpy.
Fill cups, plop in the jam, swirl if so inclined. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.

Hello, Lindsay,

I would like to help with this Can you give me some additional info? Was the icing a brown sugar icing? Was the cake a standard white cake or with some oatmeal (the most likely candidate for this is the bisquick oatmeal cake with a broiled coconut icing made with brown sugar, sort of butterscotchish flavor). Was there coconut in the cake? Please write back.

Lynn, this might be it, though no garlic:

EASY ONE-DISH HAM BAKE

Makes 8 to 10 servings

1 bag (1 pound) frozen broccoli cuts, rinsed and drained
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) 98% fat-free condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1 cup fat-free (skim) milk
3 cups cut-up cooked ham, chicken, turkey or beef
2 cups Reduced Fat Bisquick
1 1/2 cups skim milk

Heat oven to 450. Mix broccoli, soups, 1 cup milk and the ham in ungreased rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Stir Bisquick and 1 1/2 cups milk in medium bowl until blended. Pour evenly over soup mixture. Bake uncovered 27 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

ellen
03/26/11
This is the 1930's shortcake recipe:

Strawberry Shortcake

2 cups Bisquick
3/4 cup cream
2 tablespoons sugar
butter

Add sugar to Bisquick. Stir in Cream and mix well. Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead gently to smooth up (ellen's note, don't really knead it, just sort of pat it into place). Roll out 3/4 inch thick. For individual shortcakes cut with 3-inch cutter and bake. For one large shortcake, pat out 1/2 of dough in round 8-inch pan. Dot with butter. Place other half of dough on top. Bake in a hot oven 450 F. for 12 minutes. Split and place sweetened crushed strawberries or other fruit between layers and on top.

Years ago, Bisquick included a 50 year anniversary booklet in their box. One of the recipes had Bisquick, chopped shrimp, beans sprouts, french cut string beans, soy sauce, worchestershire sauce, milk, eggs and other ingredients. And all was mixed together and fried up into a puff. I made it one night and it was gone before the last batch was fried up. Lost the booklet though. I need a recipe similar to this tasty appetizer.

There are dozens of variations on this.

Bake at 375-400 for 25 to 30 minutes. Served with brown gravy or tomato gravy.

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)

1 small cooking apple, peeled, chopped (1/2 cup)

1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix

1 cup milk

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 eggs

1 Heat oven to 400F. Grease bottom and side of 9-inch pie plate with shortening. Sprinkle ham, cheese, onions and apple in pie plate.
2 In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients until blended. Pour over ham mixture.
3 Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

ellen
09/30/11
This is a very typical recipe of the times and most recipes are very similar.

You make a biscuit dough with 2 1/2 cups Bisquick and roll or pat it out to between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick, about 8x10.

Filling is made with 1 can of salmon (2 cups). Some de-skin and de-bone, some don't. Mix in 1/4 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, or to taste, a finely chopped small onion is often added,a bit of salt, maybe chopped parsley. Some people use an egg instead of the mayonnaise.

Roll and bake about 30 minutes at 350.

Typically served with a creamy sauce, such as made from cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup, here is a home made sauce recipe.

2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 - 2/3 cup canned peas, drained (optional)

2 c. diced, uncooked chicken breast
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 c. vegetable oil
3 carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2" pieces
1 green pepper, cut into strips
1 sm. onion, thinly sliced & separated into rings
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained

Mix pepper and Bisquick in large plastic bag. Stir chicken into eggs; remove with slotted spoon. Shake in bag until coated; remove chicken.

Heat 1 tablespoon fat in 10" skillet over medium heat. Stir fry carrots 2 minutes; add green pepper. Stir fry 2 minutes. Remove from skillet. Heat remaining oil.

Lookiing for recipe for a cinnamon swirl bread made with Bisquick. The original pamphlet recipe book called for two loaves of bread, one the normal size, and one mini loaf for your child! I believe there was a vanilla glaze poured over the top of the loaves.
ellen

Jean, this will be the same as any of the Bisquick cinnamon swirl rolls, just baked in a loaf pan instead of cut into individual rolls. About 4 cups of Bisquick to make one regular and one mini, or 4 minis.

Hello, I am looking for a recipe that my mother had years ago--she passed away and we cannot find it anywhere. My aunt tried to make it from memory but it didn't turn out the way she remembered. It was made with a bisquick, milk and maybe egg base and then bulk sausage mixed with mayo--- either mixed in the bisquick base or layered on top, and then shredded cheese sprinkled on top or maybe added in. Not much to go on but we would really like to have the recipe to make.

It might be this old classic, adapted by Susan Wimmers:

Bisquick Sausage Squares from Susan Wimmers
Ingredients:
1 cup Bisquick mix
1/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 pound Italian pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 egg
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
2 cans (4 oz size) chopped green chilies
Directions:
Stir Bisquick mix with milk and 2 Tbs. mayonnaise; spread into greased 13X9 pan. Saute
sausage and onion; drain fat, spread over Bisquick mix. Beat egg with remaining
mayonnaise, cheese and chilies. Spread over meat.
Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Cut into one-inch squares.
Notes: I doubled the recipe and used one regular and one hot 1 lb sausage package and
left out the chilies.
Youll feel like you dont have enough dough to cover the pan. Push and pull to fill
bottom. Mine was very thin in places and even had a few small voids but it baked up
fine. Enjoy!

It was a dish that my mom used more as an appetizer and was cut into squares. I will try to talk to my aunt and get the exact measurments that she has(she has the ingredients just not the steps to prepare it). Thank you for the quick response and suggestions.
Karen
11/20/11
Hello, I spoke to my aunt and she gave me the ingredients with measurments.
2 cups bisquick
1/2 cup water

1/4 pound of bulk sausage
3/4 cup of mayo

paprika
shredded cheese

The only directions that she has are:
Mix the 2 cups of bisquick with the 1/2 cup of water to make a dough. Press that into a 9x13 dish.
Cook the sausage and cool. Mix in the 3/4 cup of mayo when cooled.
The part she did not have written down was if you cook the bisquick first and then layer the sausage on top or press the sausage into the dough. The next thing she has written is to cover with foil and bake for 20 min. Remove foil and sprinkle paprika and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
BTW: she tried it both ways already with cooking the bisquick dough first and then adding the sausage on top and baking for a little bit more and also pressing the sausage into the bisquick dough and baking it all together and she said neither of them seemed to come out right.
Any ideas or suggestions? I cannot find anything close doing a web search so hopefully you will have something helpful. Thanks again!

This may have been a grandma-created recipe, but here is an adaptation of a Betty Crocker recipe for veggie pizza, 10x15 pan, with a light vegetable coating- you might want more veggies:

It takes about 2 cups Bisquick plus 1/2 cup very hot water to make the crust.

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream

Mix together for a white sauce, or use 1 cup marinara

1 teaspoon dried dill weed OR Italian seasoning to taste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup small fresh broccoli florets
1/3 cup other veg to taste (onion, olive, canned mushrooms, etc)
1-2 plum (Roma) tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup shredded carrot

3 cups shredded cheese
Parmesan to taste

1 Move oven rack to lowest position. Preheat oven to 450F. Grease pan.
2 Mix Bisquick and very hot water until soft dough forms. Press dough in pan, using fingers dipped in Bisquick; pinch edge to form 1/2-inch rim.
3 Bake 10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning, add veggies. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

What I do know is that it was a Velvet Crumb Cake recipe, split in two - filled with Raspberry Jam, then it was bathed in a custard and topped with whipped cream or something like that...would you be so kind as to find the name AND print the recipe for me?

Looking for an old recipe maybe 1960's or earlier. Used bisquick rolled thin, then spread with cream cheese, and I think cream cheese was mixed with grated lemon or orange peel, rolled up into a ring and then cut into ring (not completely) and turn each cut piece on it side, brush with honey & bake. It was so good, I believe it was called a "swedish tea ring".
ellen
02/21/12
Yes, this is a Bisquick take-off on the original "Swedish tea ring", even when made with Bisquick they usually had yeast added. This is the general direction for the shaping. I will look for a specific recipe.

Here is the basic dough without yeast:

Basic Sweet Roll Recipe

2 cups Bisquick
4 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

Combine Bisquick and sugar. Beat egg, add milk, and combine with dry ingredients. Beat dough until smooth. Use for the following rolls and coffeecakes.

To make tea ring: Brown sugar, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, milk and cinnamon.

When the above dough is light, shape into 2 rectangular sheets about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fruit can be substituted if you wish. Roll like a jelly roll and shape into rings. Place on greased baking sheet and cut with scissors at 1 inch intervals almost through ring. Turn slices slightly; cover and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 350-375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. While warm, spread with icing made from powdered sugar and milk, medium consistency to spread, and sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Here is the Betty Crocker Bisquick recipe:

Swedish Tea Ring
Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library 1971
Come for Coffee, Card 3

1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 egg
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2 tbsp soft butter
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/3 cup raisins
2 tsp cinnamon
Quick Icing (below)

In large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in egg, 1 tbsp granulated sugar and baking mix; beat vigorously. Turn dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 20 times. Roll into rectangle, 16x9 inches; spread with butter and sprinkle with mixture of 1/3 cup suagr, the raisins and cinnamon.
Roll up, beginning at wide side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. With seam side down, shape dough into ring on greased baking sheet; pinch ends together. With scissors, make cuts 2/3 of the way through ring at 1-inch intervals. Turn each section on its side. Let rise in warm place (85 degrees) until double about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Frost with Quick Icing. Serve warm.
Quick Icing: Mix 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 to 2 tsp warm water and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth.

Another poster said her Mom used this filling when she made the Tea Ring. Sounds great!

Walnut filling
Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook 1961

1/2 teaspoon lemon flavoring
2 cups walnuts, finely ground (not chopped)

I'm looking for the "Beef Bake" recipe that used to be on all the Bisquick boxes I remember buying in the late 90's. It seems to have disappeared from the current boxes. It was where you brown some ground beef, mix it with cream of mushroom, some garlic powder and frozen veggies, then pour a thin layer of Bisquick on the top. I can't remember the amounts/ratios. Do you remember this one?

This is the original, I think:

Beef Bake
By Shanna Shearon

1 lb. ground chuck
2 C Bisquick
2 1/2 C milk
2 C frozen mixed vegetables (I use canned for softer veggies)
1/2 C onion, chopped
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (you can substitute cream of chicken for one or both cans)
1 t garlic salt

Cook beef and onion until brown. Drain. Put in ungreased 9x13 pan. Mix soup, 1 C milk, garlic salt and veggies with beef and onions. Mix Bisquick and 1 1/2 c milk and pour over beef mixture. Bake 30-35 minutes or until crust is brown.

This is pretty close, though upside down:

Preheat oven to 400.

2 cups Bisquick
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Mix together, knead slightly if necessary, and spread in sprayed 9X13.

1 lb ground beef browned, drained

Maybe you can adapt this 1977 recipe. A half recipe would be about right for an 8x8 pan:

Herbed tomato cheese bread

Prep time: 35 minutes

Cook time: 35 minutes

Serves 12

Ann Marie Hensley of Roseville lost an old Bisquick recipe that had a Bisquick layer on the bottom, a sour cream and cheese layer and a tomato layer. It was then baked. She says that everyone loved this simple-to-prepare dish.

Jeanne Ashley of Sacramento shares this recipe that she found in her Knudson Dairy Food Cookery published in 1977 and says its very good. This bread is great with hamburgers and steaks. You can save leftovers in foil, refrigerated. Pop in the oven to reheat.

INGREDIENTS

Sour cream topping

1 medium onion, minced
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese (about 1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon leaf oregano
Pinch sage

Biscuit layer

2/3 cup milk
2 cups biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
Paprika

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.

For sour cream topping: Saut onion in butter until tender. Place onion in a bowl. Blend in remaining topping ingredients and set aside.

For biscuit layer: Stir milk into biscuit mix making a soft dough. Turn dough onto well-floured board and knead lightly 10 to 12 strokes. Pat dough over bottom of buttered baking dish, pushing dough up sides of dish to form a shallow rim. Arrange tomato slices over dough. Spoon on sour cream topping and sprinkle with paprika.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.

Sandra, This thread is just for Bisquick recipes, not general lost recipes. Try Uncle Phaedrus at hungrybrowser.com.

A brown betty is a dessert made from fruit (usually apple, but also berries or pears) and sweetened crumbs, consisting of a baked pudding made with layers of sweetened and spiced fruit and buttered bread crumbs. It is usually served with a lemon sauce or whipped cream. What was special about this one?

Sandra Taylor

I apologize. Yes, once my friends father tried my homemade banana cream pie he asked if I could make Aunt Bells homemade Brown Betty that his grandma used to make. He gave me a box full of his mothers and grandmothers cook books. The recipe wasn't in any of those cook books but I figure it's the least I can do in return find and make this recipe for him.

Or this very basic one

Tuna Rollups

TUNA ROLLS
Biscuit dough or Bisquick
2 cans cream of celery soup or mushroom
2 cans tuna

Make biscuit dough. Add one can of soup to tuna, mix well. Spread dough out as if making cinnamon rolls. Spread layer of tuna mixture on dough. Roll up and cut as if cinnamon rolls. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Cook at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Use 1 can of soup diluted as a gravy.

Some onion, parsley and a half cup of frozen peas or chopped broccoli would improve a bit..

1 cup jam (such as strawberry, raspberry or blueberry) or 1 cup preserves (such as strawberry, peach, raspberry or blueberry)

Mix Bisquick, oats and brown sugar in large bowl. Cut in butter, using fork or pastry blender, until mixture is crumbly.
Press half of the crumbly mixture in pan.

But over the years she lost it. She said there was no cheese or cream, and she thought it was called "no-peek" as the key is to have it properly covered for the 2 hours. I made it last night, it didn't taste like hers but the chicken was were moist and tender. I would just like to have the original recipe to make sure I have the correct ingredients and procedures.

Hi! Well I did not see my recipe request so here it goes: I had a frieind back in Georgia, whose mom used to make in a 9 x 13 pan a Bisquick cream cheese bar recipe. It had a bisquick crust bottome ( maybe bisquick, sugar, butter?) and then cream cheese but not sure what else, then the rest of the crust was just rolled between her hands to creat crumbles she sprinkled on top. THis would be a recipe she made in the early 80's so could be an older recipe from the 70's but was awesome and cannot find it on the web. Thank you for any help!

I am looking for an old recipe that I think may have been called "Chicken Roll" It seems very similar to a couple other ones I saw on your site, where you make a dough with the Bisquick, sprinkle cooked cup-up chicken, over it, roll it up and bake. But I think something else was added before rolling it up. And I think cream of mushroom soup was served on top after it was baked. It was a childhood favorite of mine and I would love to have that old recipe!

I have a recipe that uses a bisquick dough like that used for cinnamon rolls, to make "apple dumplings". I need to make this 3 days ahead of serving. Should I bake then freeze the recipe, or can I freeze it then bake it? Thanks.
ellen

Marilyn, I don't think you will be happy with the results either way. I would try freeze-then-bake ahead of time. Then consider an apple cobbler or apple crisp cooked fresh day of.

My grandma is looking for a cake recipe from the 80's that had a coconut frosting on it that was put in the broiler.

This is a classic with an oatmeal cake and a broiled icing:

Topping for 9x13

3/4 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

3 tablespoons milk

mix all topping ingredients until well blended. Spread topping over hot cake. Broil cake with top 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm.

This can be put on the Bisquick classic velvet crumb cake, recipe is above- 02/01/11. That recipe is for 8x8- increase times 1 1/2 to make 9x13.

ellen
02/01/13
This recipe was in:
1960 Woman's Day Collector's Cookbook

I don't have that one. This is a tasty variation:

8" pan

CRUMB TOPPING:

2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon or orange peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
1-3/4 cups bisquick
2 teaspoons lemon or orange juice

2 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons grated lemon or orange peel
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or orange juice
1 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Confectioners sugar for dusting

Mix the topping ingredients into largish pieces. Butter generously an 8 inch square baking dish.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Works best with an electric beater. Place the bisquick, peel and sugar in the mixing bowl, mix gently. With mixer running at low speed, add egg, oil, sour cream, eggs, lemon or orange juice, vanilla and beat on medium high speed until light, around 1 minute. Spread batter into even layer in the dish.

Break apart crumb topping into large pea sized pieces and spread in even layer over batter.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until and wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool at least 30 minutes.
Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving.

The applesauce bisquick cake listed on 1/13/2010 above turned out horrible. It's very dry and tough.

It is not overdone...watched it very closely. Disappointed and wishing I would have tried the pound cake recipe instead. Total waste of ingredients and time.

ellen

Sorry it did not work for you. This loaf seems to go differently with different cooks. Not a Betty Crocker original; you probably would indeed have been happier with the pound cakes.

I'm looking for an old Chicken Pot Pie recipe my mom used to make. All I remember is that she used to stew the chicken to make a broth, then shred the chicken and mix with vegetables then put in a two-crust casserole made with Bisquick. She then served it in a bowl and ladled the broth on top of the pot pie. It didn't have any cream of mushroom or cream of chicken in the mix - just plain chicken and veggies. It was very healthy and low fat, and ever so delicious!!

This is Betty Crocker's own recipe for extra easy pizza. To convert for burger, fry up 1/3 to 1/2 pound in place of the pepperoni:

Prep Time 15 min
Total Time 30 min
Servings 8

Ingredients

1 1/2
cups Original Bisquick mix

1/3
cup very hot water

1
can (8 ounces) pizza sauce

1
package (3 1/2 ounces) sliced pepperoni

1/2
cup sliced fresh mushroom

1/2
cup chopped bell pepper

1 1/2
cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)

Save $$$ on your favorite brands

1 Heat oven to 450F. Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Stir together Bisquick mix and very hot water; beat 20 strokes until soft dough forms.
2 Press dough in pizza pan. Spread pizza sauce over dough. Top with remaining ingredients.
3 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Expert Tips

For a light, tender crust, use very hot water and stir only 20 times. Stirring the dough too much will make the crust tough.

Make this extra-easy pizza an extra-cheesy pizza. Leave off the pepperoni, mushrooms and bell pepper, and top instead with the mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese.

Im looking for a cake recipe what was on the side of the Bisquick box. It was a buttery tasteing cake and you would pour it into a 9x13 pan. We always topped it with strawberries. It was not the type of cake you used with frosting. Kind of looked more like corn bread than cake but it was not corn bread. Thank you in advance if you can help me find this recipe.

BISQUICK PAN SHORTCAKE
2 1/3 c. Bisquick
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 c. milk

Press into ungreased 8x8 pan and bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees.

This was on the side of the box. If it is too thin, you may want to double the recipe for a 9x13 pan.

Adding 2 eggs makes it more cakey.

my sister used to make a Bisguik coffee cake in the 1970's that had a separate brown sugar "crust" that you sprinkled over the top before baking, but which then sunk to the bottom of the cake while baking, making a nice lightweight coffee cake (in a 9x12" pan, I think) with a crunchy bottom. It was sort of like an upside-down Drake's cake. The recipe was on the outside/back of Bisquik boxes for many years but I cannot find it anymore, and I don't think my sister wil remember. Any ideas? Thanks! ~Ken

My Nana had a signature birthday cake that she made for me. It was a dense, moist, yellow layer cake made with Bisquick and no one in the family has her recipe.

I am looking for a recipe that was on the bisquick box in the 70's. it was taco squares and made with a bisquick crust in a 9x13 pan. There was no mayo in it. When it came out of the oven you put lettuce, tomato etc on. Can anyone help me with this recipe?
ellen
09/15/13
The traditional "taco squares" recipe with Bisquik is the one with the mayo and/or sour cream. The one that suggests you put the lettuce, tomatoes, etc on top is Impossible taco pie, it takes a double recipe to make a 9x13 pan. This recipe is among those in the impossible pie sections of the recipe box on this site.

Or it might have been this one:

Ingredients:

Serves: 8- 9x13 pan

Yield:

1

taco bake

Units: US | Metric

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 (1 ounce) package old el paso taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can green giant whole kernel corn
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (8 ounces) or 2 cups processed American cheese (8 ounces)
2 cups original Bisquick baking mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
sour cream
chopped tomato
shredded Lettuce

Directions:

1
Heat oven to 325F Grease rectangular pan, 13- x 9- x 2-inches.
2
Cook ground beef and onion in 10-inch skillet, stirring frequently, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in dry seasoning mix, tomato sauce, and corn. Spoon into pan; sprinkle with cheese. Stir Bisquick mix, milk and eggs until smooth. Pour over beef mixture.

looking for a recipe from the 80's. It was muffins made with bisquik and either applesauce that I replaced with bananas ... or vice-versa. It began with a little butter and brown sugar that you melted in the bottom of muffin tins. then you put the batter on top of the melted sugar-butter and bake. once out of oven, I'd lay a cookie sheet on top of the muffin pan and flip it over. Delicious carmely muffins would drop out. I can't find the recipe anywhere. Does anyone have it?

It sounds similar to praline biscuits-

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
36 pecan halves
2 c. Bisquick mix
Ground cinnamon to taste
1/3 c. milk
1/3 c. applesauce

Use muffin liners. Place 2 teaspoons butter, 2 teaspoons brown sugar and 3 pecan halves in each of 12 muffin cups, 2 1/2" x 1 1/4". Sprinkle cinnamon in each cup; heat in oven until melted. Mix baking mix, applesauce and milk until dough forms; beat 20 strokes. Spoon onto mixture in each cup. Bake 10 minutes. Invert on serving plate. Makes 12 biscuits.

Roll around on board lightly dusted with Bisquick. Roll out 1/48243; thick. Cut into star shapes (or other shape) with cooky cutter. Sprinkle with paprika, caraway seeds, celery seeds, garlic salt, or sesame seeds, etc. Bake 8 to 10 min. Serve warm. Makes 1 1/2 doz.

3 Tablespoons oil
12 ounces beer, room temperature

Topping:
2 sticks butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar, packed

In a large bowl, mix Bisquick, sugar, dry milk and potato flakes. In a small bowl, mix eggs, oil, and beer. Pour liquid into center of dry ingredients and mix. Spread into an oiled 17 x 11 x 1 pan (this is bigger than a 9x13, can be called a lasagna pan). Let batter stand for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 and make topping.

Combine topping ingredients and spread half of topping over the surface of batter. Bake 15 minutes at 350, second shelf from the top of oven. Spread remaining topping to uncovered areas of batter. Bake 5 - 10 additional minutes.

The oldest chocolate Bisqick cookie I have (1933) is this one:

Chocolate Yummies
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cup Bisquick
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cup coconut

Melt over low heat chocolate and margarine. Combine Bisquick and sugar. Stir in egg, milk, chocolate mixture and vanilla; blend well. Fold in coconut. Drop by spoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 12 to 14 minutes. Cool, then frost.

In the 50's it was very common to sub Dutch cocoa for the chocolate squares, that would be 3 level tablespoons unsweetened cocoa and 1 tablespoon butter, margarine or shortening for every 1-ounce unsweetened baking chocolate.

I will keep looking-

Pineapple upside down cake
I'm looking for the Velvet Crumbcake recipe upside down pineapple cake. I've found the main recipe but how do you turn it into pineapple upside down cake? Thank you
ellen
05/10/14
This is very simple.

Heavily spray the cake pan or 10 inch pie plate.
Pack in the brown sugar. I like almost a 1/2 inch layer.
Place the drained put not dry fruit. Usually with pineapple rings, a cherry is placed in each ring, and sometimes around the vacancies also. With crushed pineapple, an excellent choice for easy cutting. just place the cherries according to the number of pieces you will cut.
When it has baked, run a knife around the edge, and turn out onto a heat proof plate while it is still hot, leave the pan over while it comes loose. The syrup that forms is scalding hot!!! Be careful.

Traditionally, the topping is:
about 1 cup brown sugar
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple
10 maraschino cherries, halved
maybe some walnuts

But other happy combinations are apricot halves or peach slices, almond slices and bits of candied ginger; sliced pears with pecan bits; sliced plums with blueberries.

1/3 cup(s) water boiling

Preparation

Thoroughly preheat oven 450. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Stir Bisquick & water until soft dough forms, about 20 strokes.
One pizza- 12 inch
4 6 inch pizzas Pat out circle(s) on cookie sheet, using fingers dusted with Bisquick mix; pinch edge to form 1/2-inch rim. Spread sauce & toppings on dough. Bake 9-11 minutes for small or 12-15 for large, until crusts are golden brown.

1 jar (8-10 oz) prepared pesto sauce
1 plum (Roma) tomato, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil (brushed on crust)

Hi Ellen, I'm looking for a Bisquick recipe from the 80's for a Pumpkin Bar that had a streusel topping with walnuts. There was no cream cheese in the recipe nor any frosting. Thank you--hope you've heard of this recipe.

Could not find the exact recipe, but this recipe for pumpkin spice muffins could be adapted- baked in a flat pan, more streusel, nuts added-

PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS
1/2 c. pumpkin
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 c. Bisquick
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
/4 tsp. ginger
Combine pumpkin, milk and egg with fork. Add dry ingredients and stir until moist. Sprinkle streusel topping on top of each muffin before baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

STREUSEL TOPPING:
1 tbsp. Bisquick
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. butter
Mix together to sprinkle on top of muffins.

You would need quite a bit more topping for the bars- 2-3 times.

This recipe could be adapted to Bisquick by substituting it for the flour.

I am in search of a recipe using Bisquick and Spam. I am dating this recipe from the late 1960 to the 1970. Bisquick was mixed and put into a 9 x 13 pan, mayonnaise was mixed with mustard, , American cheese and slices of Spam were inserted into the the Bisquick mixture. I would love to surprise my sisters with this meal from our childhood. My mom use to make this dish, and was searching for it , but sadly died suddenly. Thank you.

The mayo dough Bisquick is first put forward in 1922 in the "Bisquick cookbook" with a recipe Bisquick called cavatzone, or "baked meat pie", but the filling for this was made with ground beef or pork, Swiss cheese and Parm. Is it possible the Spam with American cheese was your mom's variation on the recipe?

For an 8x8 pan, the Bisquick layer is made with 2 cups Bisquick, 1/4 cup mayo and 2/3-3/4 cup milk. 1 pound meat, 4 ounces shredded cheese.

OK, this is basically creamed tuna with biscuits on top, and this will be pretty close:

Tuna layer
1/4 cup Crisco (or butter)
1/4 cup flour Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
Make a standard white sauce with these ingredients. Melt fat over medium-low heat; blend in Bisqick, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk while stirring constantly. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

1 can (about 7 ounces) tuna, drained
1/2 to 1 cup chopped broccoli (small box frozen chopped)- I would thaw frozen, or partially precook fresh
1/4 cup Parmesan

Add drained tuna, broccoli, and cheese to hot sauce, stir smooth.

Standard 2 cup Bisquick biscuit recipe, cut into biscuits. Roll to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with lightly floured 2-inch biscuit cutter.

Grease casserole pan, pour in tuna mix, bake about 25 minutes in preheated 350 oven; top with biscuits and return to oven, Bake about 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Bisquick recipe from 70's or 80's
Hi Ellen and everyone,
My mother used to make a breakfast bake that was made from Bisquick (that's all she can remember) that was topped with pineapple rings an either sausage links or smoked sausage (depending on what we had). It seems like I remember it having a bit of a cornbread taste, but she insists it was made from Bisquick...Sound vaguely familiar?

Hi! I'm looking for an apple muffin recipe my grandmother used in the 50's-60's. It may have been a variation of the sweet muffin recipe and it had apple (not applesauce) in it.

My mom and aunts remember eating it but no one has the recipe!

Wish all the requests were as simple as this one!

APPLE CINNAMON MUFFINS
1 egg
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 to 1 1/2 cups chopped apples
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottom only of 12 medium muffin cups. Beat egg slightly; stir in remaining ingredients, just until moistened. Divide batter evenly among cups. Bake until golden brown, 15-17 minutes. 12 muffins.

Some variations sprinkle cinnamon sugar or streusel topping on top before baking.

Hi Ellen !
I used to make a tuna pie that used canned tuna, mustard, &, I think eggs. I'm forgetting what else went in that bottom layer. You put thinly sliced lemons in the bottom of a pie plate, the tuna mix next.
From there, you covered the tuna layer with cheese slices & topped with Bisquick biscuit mixture. After baking, you served it by turning upside down, much like an upside down cake. Any clues in your files ??

Ellen, here is hoping you can help. Back in the late '80s or early 90s there was a recipe on the Bisquick box we think was called "Savory turkey casserole." We misplaced the recipe and I have looked all over the web for a copy without any luck. I searched the Bisquick site, Betty Crocker, and a general Google search with no luck. My wife has made several changes to the original that we think really improve it but we would still like to have a copy of that original recipe. Thanks, Tom

Thank you for the wonderful site...brings back memories.
I am desperately looking for a dessert recipe that was on the box in the early 90's. It was a custard like "pie", but there was no crust. I think there might have been coconut involved and it was served chilled. My mom and I made this in the summer every year. Thanks!!!!!

ellen
03/15/16
This could be close, though it looks to me more like 4-6 people's worth, rather than 9 servings:

TUNA SQUARES
2 c. Bisquick baking mix
1/2 c. water
2 cans (6 1/2 oz. each) tuna, drained or 2 cans(7 1/2 oz. each) crabmeat, drained and cartilage removed

1/2 c. chopped celery
1/3 c. sliced green onions
1/3 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease square pan, 9 x 9 x 2 inches. Mix baking mix and water until soft dough forms. Pat in pan, pressing dough 1/2 inch up sides. Mix remaining ingredients; spread over dough. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Bake until edges are light brown, about 30 minutes. 9 servings.

And here is my other one:

FAMILY SIZE TUNA MELT
2 c. Bisquick baking mix
1/3 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/3 c. milk
2 (6 1/2 oz.) cans tuna, drained
1/2 c. finely chopped celery
1/3 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tbsp. sweet relish
6 slices American cheese (3 1/2" square each)

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix baking mix, 1/3 cup mayonnaise and the milk until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 30 seconds. Turn onto surface floured with baking mix. Knead 10 times. Pat into rectangle, 12"x8", on greased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, about 8 minutes. Mix remaining ingredients except cheese. Spread over hot rectangle. Top with cheese slices. Bake until filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. 6 servings.

Nope, that's not it. If I recall, there was no beef included, or maybe only a small amount, and the beans were chili or kidney beans, not refried beans. It was like meatless chili made into a pizza.

This recipe for donuts or puffs is the closest I can come.

2 1/4 cups Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla

use an electric mixer at medium speed to beat together sugar, brown sugar and eggs until fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoon oil. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, until well blended. Stir in applesauce and vanilla.

This has to be put into the frying pan with a donut maker, the dough is too soft to cut. Or by the spoonful as "puffs".

a 2-quart saucepan uses about 3 cups of oil and can only fry about 2 donuts at a time. 350 degrees

If the donuts dont float to the top immediately after placing them in the oil, your oil is not hot enough and the donuts will get too oily from sitting in the oil before actually starting to fry.

Add two pieces of dough at a time to the pot. Watch the underside of the donuts; once they have turned golden brown, use tongs to flip and fry the other side. Remove when both sides are a deep golden brown (about a minute on each side).

I remember they had a sweet taste to them so there could also be sugar as part of the recipe. Any help you can be would be greatly appreciated.

There was a glaze of apricot jam orange juice cornstarch? that you poured over and served with whip cream I think. This recipe goes back to the 60's I have looked everywhere for it and can't find it would be so happy if you could help me. It was so good and would love to make it again.

Looking for Apple Cobbler recipe that was on the Bisquick box 1960's? Not sure if it was called cobbler? The bisquick went on the bottom and you sliced the apples on top and added a topping. Thanks
ellen
04/24/19
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Cake
2 cups Bisquick
2⁄3 cup Milk, or water
2-3 tablespoons Sugar
1 Egg
2 Apples, cored, peeled, thin sliced
OPTONAL 2 tablespoons chopped nuts

Step 2
Grease 8" square pan or 9" round pan. Mix cake ingredients. Spread cake batter in pan. Insert apple slices into the batter evenly throughout the cake.

Topping
1⁄3 cup Bisquick
1⁄3 cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons Butter

Step 3
Mix the topping ingredients of Bisquick, brown sugar and spices. Spread topping mix over top of batter in pan. Add slices of butter all over the top. OPTIONAL: cut in the butter to make a crumbly topping

Step 4
Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown, testing with a toothpick. Does best if you cool it 10 minutes n the pan before cutting. 4 to 6 servings.

Here was a later adaptation and addition: In step 1 make double the streusel topping, but don't double the butter. Cut it together. In step 2, Spread half of batter in pan. Arrange the apple slices on batter; sprinkle with half of streusel topping. Spread with remaining batter; sprinkle with remaining topping. Sprinkle with nuts.
CAUTION: With the apples in the middle, increase baking time at least 5 minutes
In step 4, mix this glaze and drizzle over the warm cake

Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons milk

There is also one involving apple chunks and boiling water, but this is the more common.

Apple Something..1955 to 1985
Hi Ellen, Nice site.

My late mother Cleo who died in 1985 was a great cook. Greek.

She lived in Northern California from 1955 to 1985. In the middle of a Gravenstein Apple growing area. She sent me as a kid out into the back yard to pull a few apples every summer and made what she called Apple Dumplings.

I have become a fairly good cook, but not much of a baker except for her fabulous Baklava recipe and Easter bread. She had detailed recipes for everything...except the "Apple Dumplings"

I have spend decades trying to recreate that one recipe. I have asked everyone who knew her...all a long dead now.

I remember her pouring on the batter. I think the apples were in the pan, I may remember --- the mind plays games--- that she cooked either the apples before they went into the pan or perhaps a sugar syrup.

The finial dish was very moist and a little sticky. It did not have a hard shell finish like a cobbler. It has the apples and the flour somewhat mixed up. Some of it was "wet" and some was "dry" but none of it had a hard shell of any kind.

I know she used Bisquick a lot and I "think" she used it for this.

Do you have any idea what that recipe she may have used?

She did customize. After she died, I found all the recipes she had written down as a young girl from her Greek Mother (born in Greece) about 1930. I also have the versions she typed on 3x5 cards in the 1950's. I can see the changes she made over time.

So it is possible that she used a basic Bisquick recipe and modified it. If that is the case then I doubt I will ever figure it out.

Thanks for any help.

James

James, what a challenge! Can you tell me more. What size/shape dish? Were the apples whole or in pieces? It is likely the apples were at least partly cooked before, as whole apples take longer to cook. When dry, do you mean, like biscuit or cake? Tell me more.
Tara

Hi Ellen. I have been searching for the apple dumpling Bisquick recipe that used to come on the back of the box when they had the perforated recipe cards. I made them in the early 80's as a kid and they had a wonderful cinnamon sauce that you poured over them after baking. I can't find the recipe anywhere. I know you made a dough and wrapped them around a whole cored apple with the center I think filled with butter and cinnamon. (not sure on that part) and then baked. Once done you poured the cinnamon sauce over them. They were divine!
ellen

Hi, Tara and James,

This was a fun search. There is some variation, some recipes the apples are left whole, others they are sliced. The apples are prepped and wrapped in dough. The sauce is made and poured over BEFORE baking in all the recipes.
6 dumplings are placed in a 9x13 pan;, for just 2 you might use a loaf pan.

Ingredients per person

APPLE FILLING
1 medium or large apple (Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Macintosh or other pie/baking apple), cored and slightly trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoon corn starch if sliced, to take up some juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons butter

DUMPLING Wrap
1 cup bisquick
1/3 cup milk

If you are making 6, about 4 cups of Bisquick will be fine.

BROWN SUGAR SAUCE
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
Some folks add some cinnamon and maybe a bit of nutmeg or vanilla here.

Prep 30 minutes for 6
Cook 1 hour; about 10 minutes less for slices
Ready In about 1 hour 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch pan for 6 dumplings.
Make the sugar syrup and set it aside to cool. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, vanilla extract if used and butter. Place over medium heat, and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved.
On a lightly floured surface, roll Bisquick dough into an 8x8 square: or for 6, make a large rectangle, about 24 by 16 inches, and cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple (or slices) on each pastry square with the cored opening facing upward.
Place 1 piece of butter in the opening of each apple. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Some people poke some raisins, a date, or chopped pecans in here, too. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples.
To shape each dumpling, with slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. Bring up the two remaining corners, and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples.
Place in prepared baking dish. Arrange in the pan which has been buttered or sprayed with non-stick spray.
Carefully pour the slightly cooled sauce over the dumplings.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in a dessert bowl, and spoon some sauce over the top.

Hi Ellen.. I’ve been searching for the muffin recipe that was on the back of the baking mix forever .. I had cut it out but lost it along the way it was very easy and it made a great blueberry muffin !! Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Jeannine Windle
ellen

OK here it is:

1 egg
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line muffin cups with paper liners or lightly grease the bottoms of the muffin cups.

In a bowl, whisk the egg until uniform in color. Stir in the baking mix, sugar, milk, and oil until just mixed.

Gently stir in the blueberries, taking care not to overmix the batter or the muffins will be tough.

Evenly pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Paper cups help a lot. They will rise a bit higher if you let sit 30 minutes before baking.

You can coat the tops with crunchy sugar or streusel.

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 16-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned and they spring back when lightly touched.

Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes then remove the muffins from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Stir the jelly thoroughly to thin. Spoon jelly over batter, spreading thinly. Bake for 25 to 30 min. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings.

This looked good, too.

1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. brown sugar

Hope one suits.

This recipe can be found in an old Bisquick cookbook. These are simple to make and my family loves them. Make extras! The cookbook describes this as
“A sweet bun filled with jam or jelly. Inspired by the Czechs, simplified by Bisquick baking mix.”

2 1/3 cups Bisquick baking mix
3 TBL sugar
3 TBL butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup milk
About 1/2 cup jam or jelly

Heat oven to 425  .
1. Stir baking mix, sugar, butter and milk to a soft dough. Gently smooth dough into a ball on floured cloth-covered board. Knead 8 to 10 times.
2. Roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured 3-inch cutter; place on ungreased baking sheet. With floured fingers, press a deep indentation about 2 inches in diameter in center of each. Fill with about 1 TBL jam.
3. Bake about 10 minutes or until light brown.

Hi Ellen, I'm looking for a Bisquick recipe from the 80's called "Glazed Cinnamon Breakfast Loaf". The recipe called for half of the batter to be poured into a greased loaf pan and half of a brown sugar/cinnamon mixture sprinkled on top before adding the rest of the batter and the remaining half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mix was sprinkled on top. A powdered sugar glazed was spread on top once it came out of the oven.

1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 c. raisins

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour loaf pan, 9"x5"x3". Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, reserve. Beat baking mix, granulated sugar, milk and eggs in large bowl on low speed. Stir in raisins. Pour 1/3 batter into pan, sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons of brown sugar mixture. Repeat 2 times with remaining batter and brown sugar mixture. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan. Drizzle with glaze.

CREAMY GLAZE: Beat 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, softened, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and 2 to 3 teaspoons hot water until smooth and of desired consistency.

I am looking for an older recipe from Bisquick. It uses a pkg. of yeast. You let it rest for 10 minutes. while it's resting use a pkg. of dates, orange zest and water, heat and make paste. The dough is divided into two rectangles, roll up, put on cookie sheet, cutting all layers, putting in date mixture, let rise and bake.
I don't know the exact ingredients or the amount of each one. Or baking temps. or times. So stressed I have misplaced such a favorite coffee cake. I hope you still have it in your archives.
Thank You

Hi, Mary Ann,

While I could no find the exact recipe, this is the recipe for the Bisquick yeast dough.
NOTE that the 10 minutes is the time for starting or proofing the yeast. Once you mix it into the Bisquick to form the dough, the first rising time is 30 to 40 minutes, the last about 1 hour.
AZlso, ths makes the equivalent of 2 9x5 loaves, so you may want just half. You can still use tthe whole packet of yeast.
1 envelope dry yeast
2 cups warm milk (105 to 115)
7 cups buttermilk baking mix (such as Bisquick)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Sprinkle yeast over warm milk in saucepan. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
Sift baking mix, sugar and salt into large bowl. Whisk eggs and cream of tartar in small bowl. Add milk mixture and egg mixture to dry ingredients; stir until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
Then shape, fill, and cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350. Bake bread until golden brown, loaves take about 40 minutes. Transfer pans to racks and cool 10 minutes. Turn out loaves into racks and cool. Serve bread warm or at room temperature.

I'm looking for a recipe that was a main stay on the Bisquick box in the 70' and 80'called "Impossible Tuna Pie" You baked it in a regular pie plate. I remember it had 1 can of tuna, possibly American cheese but we used cheddar. I don' t recall it having any eggs in it but it did have condensed soup. It could have been condensed chicken soup, mushroom soup or celery soup. I'm pretty sure it had peas and carrots in it. It was definitely and impossible pie.
