Making your own Bisquick baking mix is so easy, you will wonder why you never did it before!

I have been having fun flipping through some very old church cookbooks lately, and today I settled on a Pumpkin Spice Bar recipe.  I was excited to try it, because it called for Bisquick, easy peasey, right?  Well, I went to the cupboard and grabbed the box and knew right away there wasn’t going to be near enough, just by the weight of the box.

Then I remembered that my youngest decided to make pancakes for breakfast yesterday. ( he wants pancakes, he gets things done) I remembered that I had heard people make their own all of the time, so I did just that.  It was so easy!

The pumpkin bars were wonderful, too, by the way!
