| Gluten Free Self Rising Flour & Gluten Free Bisquick Copycat |
Today the mysteries of Gluten Free Bisquick are finally revealed here at the EZ Gluten Free Blog. If you've followed my blog or been a subscriber at the YouTube channel for any length of time then you obviously know how often I use GF Bisquick in my baked goods. Over the past two years the question I've been asked most often is what to substitute if you can’t get access to Betty Crocker’s easy to use baking mix. This blog post covers not only the gluten free Bisquick copycat recipe it also includes my philosophy for converting some of my old recipes to a gluten free version.
When I started my gluten free journey
I began looking over my cake and muffin recipes and using GF Bisquick as a
flour replacement. If the original
recipe called for wheat flour and a leavening agent like baking soda or baking
powder, I tried substituting the flour for an equal measure of gluten free
Bisquick and then eliminating the leavening agents and salt that were called
for in the original recipe since they were already included in the baking mix
itself.
The first recipe I tried this with was
my Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread. The end result was outstanding. I moved on to
a Blueberry Loaf Cake with an Orange Glaze and was shocked with how delicious
it was. Then fall arrived and I made a delicious batch of Walnut Streusel Sweet
Potato Muffins. A few weeks later while
I was still on the walnut kick, I made a gooey Apple Walnut Upside Down
Cake. At one point I got into a really
quirky frame of mind and made a coffee cake I dubbed the Elvis since it was
inspired by that famous sandwich he used to eat. It was a banana peanut butter
coffee cake topped with a peanut butter glaze and crumbled crispy bacon. That
one was a uniquely delicious creation.
The point I'm trying to make here is
that it really isn't so difficult to make your old cake recipes using gluten
free Bisquick. I've successfully used
the mix as a cup for cup replacement as long as you leave the leavening agents
and salt out of the original recipe.
