I remember that book so well! My mother passed it on to me and then I lost it in one of my moves. Whenever my mother went to a church meeting she always made the Bisquik coffee cake. Man was that the best. Impossible pies were in our dinner rotation. Thx for the memories!
I am old school and was a only child so learned how to make small stuff. Then married into a large family and cooked for them. Then divorced didn’t remarry but had a new family with the love of my life unfortunately he passed so I’m back to smaller cooking . You’re the best and I hope you have great things coming in your life after this surgery🙏❤️❤️
I have a Bisquick recipe that I make all the time for lunch. It's written in my grandmother's handwriting (she's been gone for 30 years now) and she called it squash pie. It's essentially Bisquick, onion, eggs, chopped zucchini, parmesan cheese and a few spices. I've been making it for years! I also like to use the recipe on the box for dumplings to add to a pot of beef stew. So good!
@@kathywright15 Sometimes I just add broth to a pot (about 2 inches) and make dumplings to serve as a side dish with chicken or beef. Fabulous side dish! Or, topped with chicken pot pie filling!! It did NOT work paired with fish.
I lived in Poland for 10 years and couldn't get Bisquick, so I made my own with a copycat recipe and kept it in a ziplock bag in the fridge. It worked so well that now that I am back in the USA, I still make my own.
@@MacieRivera 6 cups flour, 3 Tablespoons baking powder, 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 9 Tablespoons canola oil. Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix well. Using an electric mixer, slowly stir in oil. Mix until all lumps are gone, about 1 minute. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
Oh man, for the first time in my life I see that they have named it Bisquick because it’s short for a quick biscuit! Sometimes my brain works super slowly.
Ok, here's mine. I waitressed for a couple hundred years, writing RB for roast beef (dinner, sandwich, etc) for the cook. Suddenly one day... epiphany!! Arby!! LOLOL, still laughing at myself for that one.
Thanks Anna🎉 Always being on a tight budget I never have baking mix or bisquick on hand as well as flour . Do thetes a substitute for bisquick. 1 cup flour 1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder 1/4 tsp. Salt 1 Tbsp oil or melted butter Mix until resembles fine crumbs. Can keep it in freezer to have on hand.❤
I purchased this cookbook when I was first married in 1972 and cooked from it for years. I don’t use Bisquick since I changed my cooking and dietary habits but I do remember the easy recipes. I have fond memories of the peach cobbler recipe! Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
I'm biscuit and pie crust challenged! Even with Bisquick, I can't make biscuits. But if your favorite hockey team ever needs replacement hockey pucks, give me a call! LOL!
I grew up with Bisquick but didn’t use it much after being on my own. I now live in France where you can’t find Bisquick. Like some here, I make my own. I use butter, so it stays in my fridge. I make the cheeseburger impossible pie and it’s become a favorite. This cookbook looks fun!
The Bisquick coffee cake is next level, I can make a pan on Saturday morning and it's gone before work Monday morning. I make double streusel and put half in the middle of the cake. So good warm.
I always keep Bisquick on hand. It's my most favorite way to make biscuits. And it's so handy to have in the cupboard. It's the only baking mix I really like the flavor of. 🥰🍃🍂🍁💗✝
Oh hey! What fun to get a shout out! I'm so tickled that you used one of the "check-marked" recipes. We've had really good peaches here, too, so I think I'll grab some and give it a try.
I have been watching this video with my copy open on my lap! My grown children still remember making Zebra bread (page 40) outside on the grill. I don't use Bisquick as often as I once did. I'll have to get some again, Fun video! Thank you!
My mom has had that book my whole life! It is well loved. It messes up my book shelf though, so it's always on top. I think she got her dumpling recipe from that book. She boils chicken with onion and then she adds some of that broth to Bisquick and places big spoonfuls into the simmering pot and let's it go about 10 minutes. They are fluffy little clouds of goodness and she can't make enough, we always want more. It's a great book, so many amazing meals. If you've got Bisquick, you won't go hungry.
Here’s an idea for future video, a lot of cook books have a “master mix” recipe, a homemade Bisquick mix. Make a master mix then a few suggested recipes using the master mix.
First things I learned to make as a kid were Bisquick pancake. We made the cinnamon coffee cake, the pizza dough, the sausage rolls,dumplings, and of course, biscuits.
Hi Anna! The peach pudding looks amazing. I remember when the impossible pie trend started in the late 70s. Making impossible vegetable quiche was so popular where I lived! We had Bisquick at home and I used it for the quiche, making coffee cakes, and sometimes for other recipes, but almost never for pancakes (which I think is the primary use for most people). I hope you continue to feel better day by day after your surgery. Thanks for the video!
I absolutely understand your love for that gorgreous toaster oven! I am also in love with mine. It is small and cute and if you are not cooking for a small army, it is the greatest kitchen equipment! Why would I heat up the big oven for cooking literally one meal for one person? I highly recommend everyone to get one small toaster oven, especially young single adults! ❤
I have many of the Bisquick Impossible Pie cookbooks. They came out with quite a few of those. They cover everything from appetizers to main courses to desserts. I love them!
I just put some peaches, two different ways, in the freezer today for a winter treat. I still have some and may make this peach pudding. I do love my Bisquick cookbooks and have used them forever, but have never tried this recipe. Glad to see you are looking so well!
At 73, I no longer 'cook' or 'bake' much of anything I can't put in the microwave, but I grew up eating/fixing Bisquick pancakes & don't like the taste of anything other than that!
In the 70's my mom would make a huge chicken pot pie with chicken & frozen mixed vegetables with bisquick drop biscuit crust on top in her big white corning casserole with blue cornflower design. I loved it (hated the veg)!
I grew up in the mid 70’s and never seen any of these. However, the big things back then that I remember was the following, Skillet dishes like beef macaroni and fresh bread and butter with salad. Also baked cream chicken and Rice-A-Roni with veg, salisbury steaks, Meatloaf with mashed and veg, Hamburger helper with salad and bread, Pot roast mashed potatoes and veg, Fish sticks peas and butter potatoes. Tomato soup and grilled cheese, Tacos, Chicken pot pie, Spaghetti, Soup and salad bars were HUGE, Sunday brunch eat out after church was a big thing. Jello was a big thing as well as Sara Lee cakes and box cakes. Cup A Soup came into the 70’s as a snack. La Choy chicken chow mein , Tuna noodle casserole, Ham steak with baked beans and salad, TV dinners, Cheese fondue , We went from jiffy pop popcorn to hot air popcorn and then came the microwave. Stuffed celery , We had great candy bars that are no longer like Summit Bars, Angel food cake was big, I remember during the holiday’s cheese balls were big as well as backed crab and cream cheese dip.
I have to say I absolutely agree with you on the pepperoni square thingies. I would just add the egg raw or just omit it completely. I think it would make a good drop biscuit better than like a casserole
YUM!! the pot pie and peach pudding looked soooooo good! Peaches are crazy good right now like you mentioned, I’m eating like 3 a day as long as the season lasts! I LOVE hearing about the bisquick banner! Thank you, Anna! I hope you’re being kind to yourself! ✌️😌✨
I own about 10 Bisquick cook books in various shapes and sizes, and in the early 70s, I belonged to the Bisquick recipe-of-the-month club! My co-workers would tease me about buying it in the 25 pound sack, and for a few blinks, I thought they were telling the truth & I quickly asked "WHERE?" before I caught on they were only pulling my leg. Sigh! I recently gave away a few of the hardback books, & will soon donate a few of the thin paper versions to a vintage store, as I hardly do any cooking anymore.
Great job with the Bisquik. I have both of the yellow books I and II and love them. The first recipe I would have added a bit of extra moisture to make it come together better, you have to remember back in the 70's we were not exact on our measurements and things just got done. The egg is probably for extra protein and something to add in for good measure. lol Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day
Plus Betty Crocker has changed the formula of modern Bisquick, so the Bisquick that went into the old recipes is different from today’s Bisquick. I think they took some of the fat out for some reason. The old biscuit recipe for example calls for just Bisquick and milk, the new one calls for Bisquick, milk, and a tablespoon of oil. When I make Biscuits with the old recipe now they come out dry and crumbly. 😢 I wish I knew how to convert the older recipes for the newer Bisquick…
Thank you for the video! My mom & I used to make a Bisquick pizza crust when I was growing up & have make your own pizza nights on the weekends sometimes. Such great memories!
I always love your videos, but this one is especially near and dear! My mom cooked from this particular book ALL THE TIME. Just last year, we did a family dinner with a number of the Bisquick Impossible Pies! It was a winner!
I had a bf whose mom was Sicilian. She put boiled eggs in all kinds of strange places. It was weird eating a baked dish with slices of hard boiled eggs in the middle. I've always assumed it was a regional thing. :)
I have my mother-in-law’s recipe for a Bisquick chocolate chip bar cookie. Quick and easy, dries out pretty quickly but seldom stays around for long anyway!
😊we. Have lots of dairies in California! We can always get our dairy products any way we like them! Back in the day, it was easy to stop by the dairies!
I found that cookbook on a trip i took last christmas. I love to collect vintage cookbooks and this one caught my eye because of the size and then of course the title. I love it because it has such easy ideas to use up Bisquick, simple things I just normally wouldn't think of. Love your channel, love your content.
These are great Recipes Anna!! I really wanna try that Peachy Pudding Bake, that looks so yummy!! Bisquick is always something I have on hand, so I welcome these recipes. Thanks for sharing!
You’re right. The impossible pies started in the late 70s and I was always making them. I would get the recipes from women’s magazines. I was just in my 20s and married. I would tell my mom I’m making an impossible cherry pie or an impossible meat pie whatever it was and she asked me Why are all your pies impossible???😂😅. Great memories. ❤
Thanks Anna! I really enjoy all your videos❤(I think I’ve seen just about every one by now). I love your choice of recipes to try (except the tuna ones) and I especially like that they are typically easy and most of all, comforting. I am surprised when I’m almost certain that something is going to suck, yet turns out pretty good lol. You’ve got me buying more vintage books now and I adore them! 😊
Pastry Chef here! And you might find it interesting to know adding chopped up hard boiled egg is an Italian baking thing - though I usually see it kneaded into a cookie dough, so it was interesting seeing it pop up here.
I have that cookbook and have used it SO much over the 50 years I have had it-I think it was a premium with sending in the coupons one would find on General Mills products. I know make my own "Bisquick" using coconut oil instead of shortening.
Hi Anna! Bisquick was a staple in our house when I was a kid. My mom would use it for both sweet and savory dishes. Thank you for featuring a few recipes! Turkey/chicken potpie, YUM! Peachie pudding bake, double YUM!! As always, you are awesome! ❤
I have this cookbook, too, along with several other Bisquick cookbooks including the one dedicated to Impossible Pies. Do you remember the sausage balls that were made with Bisquick, raw sausage and cheddar cheese? We used to make them all the time for parties. I think you could substitute chopped pepperoni for the sausage and they would be delicious. My beef with Bisquick is they've changed the recipe so much over the years that's it's not as good as it used to be. I've saved the boxes over the years for the recipes so I can see how the ingredients have changed.
My mom (married in 1962) made those sausage balls too! And it was one of the recipes she passed along to me when I moved out on my own in the late ‘80s. I made those a couple of times as a party dish. (Then I developed fancy gourmet tastes and my menus changed.)
You’re the first person I’ve seen who mentioned the recipe changing- that would explain a lot I think, I have a 60s bisquick cookbook and I’ve been underwhelmed by the recipes. I wonder if they were better with the formula from the time
Bisquick (and also the similar Jiffy pancake and baking mix) was always in my mother’s cupboard, she made Bisquick’s chicken pot pie which used to be on the back of the box, with the batter like pour over crust, which was made in a pie plate, (1cup Bisquick, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1 egg). The first things I learned to bake were muffins using the Bisquick recipe which you could adapt by adding fruit, spices, etc and the velvet crumb cake.
When my parents were dating, my maternal grandmother would make Bisquick Pizza. Every time my dad dropped her off she would offer him food. And he would ask for a Bisquick pizza.
I think for the pepperoni appetizer I would chop the egg up much finer. I think it would hold together better. I’m going to give it a go and see. I like a challenge. 😊 I also think the turkey pot pie looks delicious and like you, I would add in some more veggies…probably peas and diced carrots. Thanks for the inspiration!
Those pepperoni squares, I'd even go so far as to suggest adding a 1/2C of shredded mozzarella - and then do the drop biscuit idea. Yeah, I'm leaning toward a Pepperoni style "Cheddar Bay biscuit" kinda thing. As far as the egg thing, maybe it was there to mimic cheese? IDK...weird The Pot Pie: Yeah, I'd prefer more veggies in mine as well. Even if using Turkey, I'd still want more veggies. Oh! And you can get skinless/boneless turkey breasts sold as "Turkey Tenderloin" You get two breasts per package. They're great for all sorts of recipes! And yeah, I have individual Au Gratin dishes I use for individual pot pies as well. Love them!
“Rustic” is my favorite term to use in the kitchen because it means I can be lazy with most parts (chopping, spreading, whatever) and get away with it lol I’ve been eating peaches with my lunch for the last few weeks, probably my most looked forward to part of my work day lol Love the video, I’ll have to pick up some bisquik and make that dessert
That “Ham Upside Down Casserole” you briefly mentioned is good👍 My mom used to make it out of leftovers after holidays 😢 Great video; the Pot Pie and Peach Cobbler both looked really nice (pot pie definitely needs some veggies though) 😊
Mamy years ago I saw my local weatherman who was Italian cooking a family favorite of his on tv. It was a casserole made of Marconi, Red Sauce, Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Swiss, and Diced Hardboiled Eggs. So I've seen this combo before.
I have that same Bisquick recipe book. The only recipe my husband refused to eat was the peanut butter and jelly coffee cake, The stuffing biscuits also make great dumplings for chicken stew.
In the 70's when I was a teen and there wasn't anything sweet in the house, I'd make the cinnamon cake recipe that was on the Bisquick box. 😊
Omgosh, I used to do the same thing! Same age at the same time😅
I'm omitting the egg from the pepperoni squares. That's very bizarre to me.
I made the Velvet Crumb cake!!:))
I made that when we didn't have much as a young married couple
I loved that too 😊
I remember that book so well! My mother passed it on to me and then I lost it in one of my moves. Whenever my mother went to a church meeting she always made the Bisquik coffee cake. Man was that the best. Impossible pies were in our dinner rotation. Thx for the memories!
Love how you use vintage pyrex dishes with patterns that were popular on the era your recipes were written
My uncle Arthur discovered Bisquick in the 90s. He enjoyed it so much he mailed all 11 adult nieces and nephews 3 big boxes. 😂😂 Thanks, Art!!
Aww…you’ve reminded me of my Uncle Art too!
I love your “it’s ok” attitude about cooking. It is so refreshing.
Honestly Anna is the most chill TH-cam chef and we love that for her, so relaxing 😊
"Cooking the Books" is one of my top favorite channels to watch, I just love all the vintage recipes (and your take on them). Thanks for sharing.

Any chance that you can drop your recipe for the copycat...?

I grew up eating the Bisquik impossible cheeseburger pie. I thought it was very gourmet!
Impossible cheeseburger pie was my favorite!

I am surprised when I’m almost certain that something is going to suck, yet turns out pretty good lol. You’ve got me buying more vintage books now and I adore them! 😊
Pastry Chef here! And you might find it interesting to know adding chopped up hard boiled egg is an Italian baking thing - though I usually see it kneaded into a cookie dough, so it was interesting seeing it pop up here.
I have that cookbook and have used it SO much over the 50 years I have had it-I think it was a premium with sending in the coupons one would find on General Mills products. I know make my own "Bisquick" using coconut oil instead of shortening.
I have 3 different Bisquick cookbooks and I just love them.
Hi Anna! Bisquick was a staple in our house when I was a kid. My mom would use it for both sweet and savory dishes. Thank you for featuring a few recipes! Turkey/chicken potpie, YUM! Peachie pudding bake, double YUM!! As always, you are awesome! ❤
Just made the peaches for a late night snack, yummy! 😋
I just used Bisquick for the first time last month making a blueberry cobbler 😊 great video!
I use bisquick often for cobbler topper. Love your show!
That pot pie looks scrumptious!
Thanks for the fun bisquik video!! I wasn’t sure about the chopped egg part 😅either
I have this cookbook, too, along with several other Bisquick cookbooks including the one dedicated to Impossible Pies. Do you remember the sausage balls that were made with Bisquick, raw sausage and cheddar cheese? We used to make them all the time for parties. I think you could substitute chopped pepperoni for the sausage and they would be delicious. My beef with Bisquick is they've changed the recipe so much over the years that's it's not as good as it used to be. I've saved the boxes over the years for the recipes so I can see how the ingredients have changed.
My mom (married in 1962) made those sausage balls too! And it was one of the recipes she passed along to me when I moved out on my own in the late ‘80s. I made those a couple of times as a party dish. (Then I developed fancy gourmet tastes and my menus changed.)
You’re the first person I’ve seen who mentioned the recipe changing- that would explain a lot I think, I have a 60s bisquick cookbook and I’ve been underwhelmed by the recipes. I wonder if they were better with the formula from the time
That peach dessert looked amazing.
Bisquick (and also the similar Jiffy pancake and baking mix) was always in my mother’s cupboard, she made Bisquick’s chicken pot pie which used to be on the back of the box, with the batter like pour over crust, which was made in a pie plate, (1cup Bisquick, 1/2
cup milk, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1
egg). The first things I learned to bake were muffins using the Bisquick recipe which you could adapt by adding fruit, spices, etc and the velvet crumb cake.
When my parents were dating, my maternal grandmother would make Bisquick Pizza. Every time my dad dropped her off she would offer him food. And he would ask for a Bisquick pizza.
I not only recognize that Spice of Life casserole dish, I have one!
I think for the pepperoni appetizer I would chop the egg up much finer. I think it would hold together better. I’m going to give it a go and see. I like a challenge. 😊 I also think the turkey pot pie looks delicious and like you, I would add in some more veggies…probably peas and diced carrots. Thanks for the inspiration!
Those pepperoni squares, I'd even go so far as to suggest adding a 1/2C of shredded mozzarella - and then do the drop biscuit idea. Yeah, I'm leaning toward a Pepperoni style "Cheddar Bay biscuit" kinda thing. As far as the egg thing, maybe it was there to mimic cheese? IDK...weird
The Pot Pie: Yeah, I'd prefer more veggies in mine as well. Even if using Turkey, I'd still want more veggies. Oh! And you can get skinless/boneless turkey breasts sold as "Turkey Tenderloin" You get two breasts per package. They're great for all sorts of recipes!
And yeah, I have individual Au Gratin dishes I use for individual pot pies as well. Love them!
“Rustic” is my favorite term to use in the kitchen because it means I can be lazy with most parts (chopping, spreading, whatever) and get away with it lol
I’ve been eating peaches with my lunch for the last few weeks, probably my most looked forward to part of my work day lol
Love the video, I’ll have to pick up some bisquik and make that dessert
That “Ham Upside Down Casserole” you briefly mentioned is good👍 My mom used to make it out of leftovers after holidays 😢
Great video; the Pot Pie and Peach Cobbler both looked really nice (pot pie definitely needs some veggies though) 😊
Love your channel. Thanks for he memories … I used the Bisquick cookback in the 1980s when I began cooking.
Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching. ❤️
Love ❤ You!!! My favorite is the impossible taco pie ❤
Mamy years ago I saw my local weatherman who was Italian cooking a family favorite of his on tv. It was a casserole made of Marconi, Red Sauce, Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Swiss, and Diced Hardboiled Eggs. So I've seen this combo before.
One of my family’s favorite was Molly’s Pizza Sandwich. It is a casserole. I got the recipe from a small Bisquick pamphlet in the 70’s.
I have that same Bisquick recipe book. The only recipe my husband refused to eat was the peanut butter and jelly coffee cake, The stuffing biscuits also make great dumplings for chicken stew.
I have this cookbook and have done quite a few of the recipes.
I have this same book. I received it as a gift from my bridal shower in 1977.
Gotta love Bisquick. My mom made Impossible cheeseburger pie a lot when I was a kid (in the 80s). I make it for my family semi regularly too.
I still have my Bisquick cookbook and it is very good. We now have to be Gluten Free in our home, but the recipes work well with the GF Bisquick mix.
I used to love Bisquick. Used to make a lot of different Impossible Pie recipes.
