It should be pretty simple, really. Based on the Bisquik recipes,
calculate how much milk is needed for the number of portions of the baking
mix. Check your powdered milk package and note the amount of dry milk to
water ratio. Cup for cup, add the amount of powdered milk required to make
the liquid required by the multiple of recipes in a package of Bisquik.
Then you only need to add the water when mix something up with the Bisquik.

I would keep the powdered milk seperate and reconstitute about a pint a
day for cooking and drinking.

I would keep all the ingredients separate and combine them as needed.

Why would you do that when the current version of Bisquick 'is add
water only'?

i saw that on their website. Bisquick Complete its called. i will be
seeing if our stores have it, sometimes its hard to get certain things
up here.

If that is the case you measure how much milk you usually use for the
make up of the biscuit using Biquick.
Then convert that to dry milk.solids that you have to blend in.
The formula for conversion is10-11% of the fresh milk is solids so if
you multiply athe mount of fresh milk (used )in milliliters or cubic
centimeters) with 0.10-0.11 you will get the amount of milk powder you
will have to blend in w
Then to calculate for the amount of water to be added; from the actual
fresh milk you use with your current biscuit mix, deduct that with the
quantity of milk powder you mixed in .
Be sure to use the instantized version of the milk powder and disperse
the milk powder in the biscuit mix.

If you're going to breach the packages to add powdered milk, why don't you
just make your own copycat 'bisquik' mix? Then you could package in
quantities that are useful to you for specific recipes. Powdered milk
should be used within a year at most and must be kept dry. I don't know if
you alter the shelf life by mixing it with other ingredients, but I would
think so. Baking mixes themselves have a shelf life that probably won't
extend to your couple of years.

While I can't give you a direct answer, I can point you to a link for
a recipe for "Master Mix" (like bisquick) that includes powdered milk.
Havn't tried it myself yet. It should be quite a bit cheaper than
buying bisquick.

BTW, there are tons of make-a-mix recipes in the Cooking and Craft
Forum on the Homesteading Today site.

Here is a link to a University based set of recipes for a complete mix, they
also have some other mixes for like rice a roni etc. however I think they
are out of the booklet, if you need some of these let me know and I'll see
if I can find it on one of their old publication cd's.

I have used these, they are very good, in fact when my children were young
they insisted in having it available so they could make stuff with it when
and if they wanted to.

There is a link on that page to download the pdf version as well. That would
be my recommendation and then print it off and keep it in a binder for
future reference.
