While pancake mix and Bisquick share many ingredients, the two are not the same. The main difference is that the pancake mix is sweeter. Most pancake mixes can be used in place of Bisquick and vice versa in sweet recipes. Compare your pancake mix with Bisquick's ingredient list before swapping.

When you make Bisquick pancakes with water, you will have a moist batter, but miss out on the protein, flavor and browning power of milk or substitute milk. Water may be used in a pinch, but you'll likely prefer the results you get with milk or an "alternative" milk.

Original Bisquick Mix does not have eggs or milk. You can make Bisquick vegan pancakes with no problem. You don't even need to use a flax egg. Just leave the egg out completely and replace the milk with plant milk or water and they will come out just fine!

Shelf Life Determinants

An unopened package of Bisquick can last approximately one year from the manufactured date. Once opened, by transferring it to a sealed container, its usability may extend up to six months.

Baking Powder serves as the egg substitute, giving the waffles an extra fluffy quality. Non-Dairy Milk helps form the batter and replace some of the liquid lost from making waffles without eggs. Any kind works! Pure Vanilla Extract enhances the flavor and richness but is optional.

Water or any milk substitute like coconut, rice or soy milk will work.

All you want to do is slather some butter and jelly on your steaming biscuit…but one sweep of the knife, and half your biscuit is crumbled in your lap. If this sounds familiar, you could be adding too much flour to your dough without knowing it, disrupting the ratio of dry to wet ingredients.
