Find a recipe for buttermilk biscuits.

Find a container of powdered buttermilk.

At home, make the recipe through the step of cutting in the shortening. When you're mixing the dry ingredients together, add the amount of powdered buttermilk equivalent to the amount of buttermilk the recipe calls for.

On the trail, add water and, if you have it, a tsp. of vinegar (will help them be a little more fluffy, but an optional ingredient).

Voilà, buttermilk biscuits that taste a whole heck of alot better than Bisquick. You can actually use this technique to create pretty much any recipe you'd use bisquick in.

Now, if you can turn this thread into a controversy, I will bow to your ability to turn anything you want on its head. LOL <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
