Isn't Bisquick just flour, shortening, and baking powder? The hard part is
probably cutting in the shortening, so the mix arguably saves a difficult
step.

I'll have to try the cornmeal. Is it anything like "Cream of Wheat"
pancakes? (IHOP sells these as "Country Griddle Cakes".) I've loved those
since I was a kid.
