Hello,

People here opften mention 2 ingredietns that are not availble here. I'd
like to know more about them so I can make those recipes:
1) how much does a stick of butter weigh (in US or metric measures)?
2) they don't sell Bisquick here. On the bisquick site, it sounds like
it's self-raising flour + shortening (shortening is not availble here).
What percentage of shorteing might tehre be in Bisquick? Or how can I
create a substitute?

Thank you for any help!

Sorry. I missed the part about shortening. Do you have lard?

Nope, but we have butter and margarine. I suspect they'd work.

Thank you so much for your quick replies. Now I can try chicken pot pie
with a batter on top. I have never had anything like it and am very
curious about it.

I'd go with the butter. Margarine is often full of water, which will
mess with the success of your pie.

I don't use margarine ever so I too would suggest butter. However if
making the bisquick substitution recipe I posted the link to, I don't
think butter would work. The recipe is meant to make a large batch
ahead then use as needed. I think butter would greatly reduce the
storage of the mix.

I didn't expect there to be a recipe for bisquick, I figured Betty

it, here, that I know of.

Thank you for the URL and the information.

IIRC, a stick of butter is 1/4 of a pound so 4 ounces. There is a
bisquick mix you can make yourself. Here's a link to one such recipe
but there are likely more.

Thank you. i am so curious about this, I will try it as soon as I can
(which would be sometime in January)

About a "stick" of butter. To make it easy to remember, in USA butter
is almost always packaged by the pound, rectangular in shape. It is
cut in half both ways, making four rectangular sticks, each of which is
1/4 pound. Each stick is wrapped in paper, usually with marks on the
paper showing 1 Tbsp., 2 Tbsp., etc.

Enjoy your baking, Jake.

Regards, Nancree

Thank you, Nancree. Here butter is sold by 250 grams, just over half a
pound. with marking per 50 grams.

I wish there more people in my household. I coudld o so much more baking
then.

Good thing there's the concept of guests

Me too. Jake, do you have any Asda stores in Germany? My local one here in
England has started stocking Bisquick - Asda are owned by WalMart. The other
thing I thought about - there are American army and air bases in Germany,
no? If you could find someone who works/lives on those to get you something,
or even contact American who is posted out there, they have stores which
stock a lot of American products.

Hello EE,

I do mention Germany in this ng, but I only shop there during vacations.
I go to Germany regularly because I used to live there.

Being a "tourist" in a supermarket is a wonderful thing. I live in
The Netherlands, though.

But to answer your question: I've never seen Bisquick nor Asda in either
country.

Our butter comes packaged by the pound, rectangular in shape and with
markings on the wrapper to enable cutting off the right amount. I
haven't seen it wrapped into sticks but to be honest I haven't looked
for it packaged that way. I have seen margarine and shortening packaged
into 1/4 lb sticks. I don't use margarine ever but the sticks of
shortening could come in handy.

Where can you possibly live where there is no shortening available...
shortening is fat, any fat. I'm positive that if you live where you
can have internet access than a product similar to Bisquick is
available, may even be actual Bisquick under some other name... perhaps
you can ask at the Bisquick site, must be an email address.

Sheldon, those products really aren't sold here. If I ordered Bisquick,
or shortening, through the Internet, or shortening, it would cost a
fortune to ship it from the US to The Netherlands.

PS that was a genunine offer - as you know we get EU postal rates here. I
think the Bisquick costs about 1.5 Euros.

That is a very kind offer, thank you. But I think I'll be happy making
my own mix, using butter. Less work for you, not a lot of work for me

You can't find butter in the Netherlands? Odd. If you go to Germany you
should be able to find an Aldi as the company started there. No lard? No
pigs in the Netherlands either eh? How about geese? Actually you can find
vegetable "lard" in Germany and probably the Netherlands as well. Or you can
take the ferry across to the U.K. or Ireland. <smile> Really, you can find
some type of shortening nearby.

Jake, were I a gambler I'd be willing to bet plenty there's shortening in
TNL - it is just, as has been said before, 'fat'. Rendered and cleaned
(almost flavourless) animal fats, we call 'lard', used in pastries all over
the globe. Vegetable based equivalents abound too. If you can't find it or
don't know what names to look for it under in TNL, go to a store and ask one
of the members of staff there, and describe it to them.

Of course we have fat

I have never ever seen lard here. I suspect I coudl order it at the
butcher's, although I've enver heard of anyone doing so.

Vegetable based equivalents abound too.

That's the part that is unusual ehre. You can get vegatble fat meant for
deep frying, which sometimes looks similar to Crisco.

Dutch supermakrets are known for their limited seleciotn. In 33 years of
living, and always ahving ahd an itnerest in food, I've never come
across what you're describing. This is not to say it isn't sold here at
all, but seriously, I have enver seen it.

Is it 'hard' fat rather than liquid? If so, it's shortening and you can use
it.

The stuff you say looks similar to Crisco is shortening IMO.

1/4# = 1 stick or cube = 4 oz.

Search for "baking mix" or Bisquick copies.

I can only answer question #1:

A stick of butter should weigh 1/4 lb. (4 ounces) or 113.5 grams.

This was calculated from the information on a box of Parkay margarine that
contains four sticks in the box. The weight indicated on the box shows "NET
WT 16 OZ. (1 LB) 454g".

You can buy Crisco brand shortening in some of the sex shops down in
Amsterdam. I found that out from The American Womens Club guide while
there. Butter usually is purchased in 4 ounce sticks, four sticks to a
pound.

BNow that you metnionit... I've seen it in erotic shop windows in The
Red Light District ( I swear that's where I saw it).

Is Crisco the same as shortening? And/or interchangeable?

You never know where a thread is going to go, and this has made

Yes, Crisco is shortening. And thinking of buying it at a sex
shop ... kinda yucky, but at least you know it's available there.

LOL, The American Womens Club there puts out a guide which includes

Oh man, I just ate, you gotta stop. I'm gonna laugh myself sick.

Actually, the shop was very very clean. It ahd huge windows, and it was
a designer style type of store.

Although their counter was clean enough to eat from, I don't think they
regarded Crisco as a baking product.

(laugh!) Yes, Jake, I got that. I've heard of Crisco parties, too.
No baking involved.
