Good Morning
Would you please send me the recipe for Bisquick.
I have several recipes that call for the stuff but I don't care to eat hydrogenated oils and aluminum and so I would like to make it myself.
Thanks,
Adele
Hello Adele,
Well, Bisquick is simply a mixture of hydrogenated fat, flour, baking powder and salt. You can’t make an all-powder version at home
because you have no way to substitute for the fat and have the result remain a powder. However, the Wikipedia site’s article on Bisquick
gives a simple substitution that you can make without hydrogenated fat or aluminum. You just have to make it up as needed or else keep
the extra in a refrigerator:
“One cup of Bisquick can be substituted by a mix of one cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and
1 tablespoon of oil or melted butter.”
Don’t forget to use an aluminum-free brand of baking powder.
Most all homemade Bisquick imitations call for either shortening or butter. See these sites for more ideas:

I did some research and I find this cook book for Woolworth's Store from www.amazon.com The name of the cook book is
The Service Cook Book No. 2 200 Tricks 700 Recipes for F.W. WoolWorth Recipes by Mrs. Ida Bailey Allen,
Published in 1935 by Educational Publishing Corp.
I also went to Yahoo and Images and type Mrs Ida Bailey Allen was on the Image and show the first page and stated from F.W. WoolWorth
https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0PDoS2Pd0pP7REAuQ2LuLkF?p=Mrs+Ida+Bailey+Allen+&ei=utf-8&iscqry=&fr=yfp-t-435&fr2=sfp
www.Amazon.com has the same cookbook and author but No. 1 cook book and I am not sure if it from F.W. Woolworth
Thanks,
Gwendolyn
Hi Gwen,
I wish it were so. However, the recipes in this cookbook are not recipes for dishes served at Woolworth’s lunch counters.
Rather it is a cookbook of Mrs. Ida Bailey Allen's recipes that was published by Woolworth’s to sell in its stores.

I saw a request on a message board for "pudding meat":
pudding meat aka liver pudding
"The pudding meat (hog skin, livers, kidneys, and bones were all cooked together in a big black kettle and when soft, it was ground together.
The broth, thickened with flour and corn meal, was used to make the pan haus. If you wanted scrapple, you just put some pudding meat in it."
From: "Memories of Farm Life on 'The Redlands' in the 20's and 30's" by Madelyn Hartman Smith Fortna

You can buy pudding meat here:
Fisher's Country Store
