Jiffy vs Bisquick

I think you will be okay using the Jiffy. To me if the recipe calls for a baking mix I don't think
what brand you have would matter. The only thing that would be different would be the consistency
and how it may turn out.

For me I always have Bisquick on hand, because I am normally making pancakes and biscuits with it.
If I had a recipe calling for Jiffy baking mix then I would be like you questioning the difference,
but I would use what I had on hand.

Good Luck. Wendy

I was wondering what the difference would be if I used Jiffy baking mix in an Impossible Pie
recipe instead of Bisquick? I don't know the formulation differences and I'd hate to go out and
buy a box of another brand of baking mix if what I have (Jiffy) will work as well.

Thanks, Heidi

I'd compare a couple of other recipes that use the products, Heidi. there's probaby a biscuit
recipe and a pancake recipe on each product. If they're the same or mighty close, I'd do it. FWIW.

It works just fine. Jiffy tastes a little different, Bisquick has a ton more sodium than Jiffy and
I'm not sure what else, but for technical purposes you can swap the two. I've used them
interchangeably for decades and not noticed appreciable differences in baking -- other than the
salty taste Bisquick has.

I don't happen to use Jiffy, but I often use Pioneer Baking Mix instead of Bisquick. I can't tell
the difference in the end result.

Jiffy will work.

Uh, but isn't that what the OP is worried about?!

They are virtually identical products. I use Jiffy all the time. They are interchangeable.

Last night I went home and looked at the recipe. It only called for
1/2 cup of Bisquick and I thought I could spare that much for an experiment. I made the Impossible
Buttermilk Pie recipe and it seems to have come out just fine. Or at least, I'm satisified with
the result. Thanks for all the help!

I started using Jiffy this year, after using Bisquick for over 230 years. I can't tell any
difference, except in the price.

However, I also downloaded a few home recipes for making my own baking mix -- flour, lard, and a
touch of baking powder. That also works just fine in my recipes - biscuits, etc., simple things. Do
a search on Bisquick substitute here and on the major recipes websites. You'll find several, all
very similar to each other.
