Baking Mix (Bisquick® Copycat)

This is an easy, cheap alternative to buying pre-made baking mix

The real reason why I ended up with this recipe is a sudden and pervasive desire for pancakes; however, when I went to retrieve my Bisquick® to whip up a batch it was evident I hadn't made pancakes in...well let's just say it had been a while. *Gag*

Realizing my store of pancake mix was bad, which I am sad to say is all I ever used my Bisquick® for (I've pledged to change that now that I can make my own mix, however), I was presented with a difficult quandary: I'm mega-jonesing for pancakes, but I am also way too lazy to go buy any. I did a little internet research and found a copycat recipe that looked very promising.

The recipe I'm posting here is not exactly like the one I found on the interwebs, but it is close enough that I can't take the credit for the bones of the recipe. That honor goes to the folks at recipesecrets.net (The link to the original is here.).

This recipe makes just over 6 cups of baking mix which can be used as a direct substitute for Bisquick® baking mix (which I'm hoping becomes more than just pancakes).

**Update** Oops, completely forgot to post the link to the recipe...my bad.
Here it is!

And that, my friends, is my second recipe post completed!! Albeit, a very simple and short one, but wth it's done nonetheless. Now I have to get ready for class (we're testing the water activity of different types of meat in my Value Added Products lab, wahoo!![I'll totally have to make a post about our project in this class, it's gunna be wicked awesome!])!
