About Bisquick pancakes

Bisquick pancake mix is a pre-mixed flour blend created in the United States by General Mills in 1931, popular for its convenience in preparing pancakes, waffles, and other baked goods. The mix typically includes enriched wheat flour, leavening agents, sugar, and partially hydrogenated oils. Pancakes made with Bisquick are a staple of Western cuisine, particularly in breakfast meals. A typical serving of Bisquick pancakes provides approximately 210 calories, 5 grams of protein, 27 grams of carbohydrates, and 9 grams of fat (values may vary by recipe). They also contain small amounts of calcium and iron due to the enriched flour. However, the mix often has added sodium, which contributes to its leavening process.

Health Benefits

• Provides energy through quick-digesting carbohydrates, which can help fuel your morning activities.
• Contains iron from enriched flour, supporting oxygen transport in the blood.
• Supplies calcium (depending on milk addition), which is essential for bone health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, dairy (if milk is used), eggs (if added), soy (may be present depending on the mix)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets (if eggs are avoided or substituted), non-restrictive diets

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (without substitutions), low-sodium diets due to added sodium in the mix

Selection and Storage

Store unused Bisquick mix in a cool, dry place with the package tightly sealed. For pancakes, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 1-2 days.
