Comments in another thread reminded me how handy it used to be to have
Bisquick in the cupboard. I've read that Bisquick Lite is a new
formulation that has no trans fats. Has anyone tried it? How do the
results -- biscuits, pancakes -- compare to the original? -aem

My biggest complaint with Bisquick wasn't the fat content, it was the
salt content. I found everything I ever made with it was too salty.

Never heard of this stuff before it was brought up here. Had to google.
It's not a brand that I have seen here. However, IMHO, anything "Lite"
doesn't usually taste as good as the "original". Just my two cents.

I've been buying it for a few years now, and don't notice any
difference at all. I'd be hard-pressed to say this or that biscuit
came from Bisquick Lite or regular Bisquick.

I've only tried the lite version once. I found the biscuits dryer and more
crumbly.

We have a box in the cupboard. I'll thaw out some breakfast sausage
for tomorrow's dinner, and make biscuits and gravy for the Crashman.
I'll let you know what I think of the biscuits.

Covered in gravy, nobody will ever know. I can't tell, even with just
butter on them.

I'm hopeful. I'd like to hear her results, too. -aem

It's gonna be tomorrow night now. We have those chicken tenders to
grill tonight. I'll definitely let everyone know how they turn out.
Mine will mostly be just buttered. Crash is the sausage gravy guy in
the family.

Yes that is what I use and I can't tell the difference.

I finally got around to making biscuits and gravy, and I'm here to
report that the biscuits made with Bisquick Lite were just as good as
those we've made with the original mix. Neither of us felt that there
were any problems at all.

Thanks for the report. I went to the store yesterday and there was no
regular Bisquick and no Bisquick Lite on the shelves. There was
something called "Heart Smart Bisquick" which proclaimed zero trans fat
and low fat in big type on the box. Maybe this is a new name they've
settled on. Without an old-style Bisquick box to compare to I can't be
sure, but it looks to me as if they've just substituted canola oil for
shortening. At any rate I bought it and have some sausage thawing. I
am ususally very reluctant to try modified versions of old favorite
products, so I appreciate the reassurances. -aem

You'll let us know how it goes, right?

I usually make my own baking mix. I wonder if there is a recipe for the
light type?
