I am picturing making bisquick into a milky drink and coming up with homemade
paste. No, Bisquick is flour, baking soda, and baking powder all mixed up ...
just add water and bake. Biquick=quick biscuits

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>American biscuits are flour, baking
powder, salt, grease/butter/lard(southern) water or milk </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>or buttermilk (southern) basically
... you mix it up, roll it out, cut them, place them on a greased baking sheet
and bake in the oven until the tops are golden brown. They taste a bit like
your fluffy dumplings but not quite the same. Region in the US makes a big
difference how you make your biscuits. I grew up popping open a Pillsbury
container and baking the contents. I married a man from Kentucky who insisted
on self-rising flour, lard, and buttermilk biscuits. My first ones were either
hockey pucks or doughballs (which he threatened to use for fishing... but
fishing bait from the kitchen isa whole 'nother story)</FONT></DIV>

to chat about stuff other than HP cuz HP has united us, and even my best
friend and fellow HP fanatic and I talk about things not HP ... like the

that area.</FONT></DIV>
