Happy Halloween! We took an opportunity to try the new Gluten-Free Bisquick to make some pumpkin-shaped pancakes this weekend.
I had seen the new Bisquick Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix
Instead we had fun making a variety of fun shapes with the Tovolo Pancake Pen
The Bisquick is certainly different from the usual mix we use, as you would expect just by looking at the ingredients [Rice Flour, Sugar, Leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, monocalcium phosphate), Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Xanthan Gum. May Contain Soy Ingredients.]. The Bisquick is sweeter and has a finer texture. My kids were so excited about the shapes, they didn’t even seem to notice a difference in taste. The one drawback of the Bisquick pancakes is that it didn’t seem to brown very easily. We increased the temperature on our electric skillet to 400° F and it still took a while for it to turn golden brown. My husband did find that using butter to grease the skillet helped with the taste and browning.
Would I buy the product? Probably on occasion. Bisquick is easy to use and tastes good. My only hesitation is the price. I might overlook the price if I felt that it had better nutritional quality or better taste than other options. No matter what, it’s nice to know there are numerous options for gluten-free baking mixes. I’ll probably buy some more so I can try some of the recipes they have on the Bisquick Gluten Free website. I found a couple that would be nice for the holidays: Mushroom-Pecan appetizers and Russian Tea Cakes for dessert.
Giveaway. So how about you? Have you tried the new Bisquick Gluten Free? Would you like to try it? Bisquick has offered to give away the same sample prize pack I received to one eligible CeliacFamily.com reader (legal residents of the US who are 18 years or older). The prize pack includes a 16 oz. box of Bisquick Gluten Free, a Pancake Pen, a cast iron Swedish pancake pan, and a silicone spatula.
How to Enter.
- Leave a comment letting me know what you’d like to try making with the gluten-free Bisquick. Check out the recipes on their website, if you need ideas.
- You can receive bonus entries for letting your friends know about the giveaway on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog. Just be sure to come back and leave an additional comment below letting us know where you mentioned it.
- Make sure when you’re leaving a comment, that you put your email address in the appropriate box so that I can contact you if you win.
The giveaway will run from now until Nov. 10, 2010; 10 pm EST. The winner will be chosen using Random.org. The winner should respond within 48 hours after being contacted by email. If I’m unable to contact the winner, another winner will be chosen. We’d love for the winner to receive the prize before Thanksgiving, so it can be used to make breakfast for guests, appetizers, or biscuits for Thanksgiving dinner.
Find more product reviews of Bisquick Gluten Free online:
- Linda at The Gluten-Free Homemaker tried out the pancakes on the cast iron skillet.
- Kim at Gluten Free Is Life made delicious-looking Blueberry Scones with the Bisquick, yogurt and blueberries.

I haven’t seen this in stores yet, but I would use it in my old Bisquick recipes–like Broccoli Pie–where it’s used to thicken up the texture.

I have used it and made some biscuits. If I get it again I would definitely make biscuits again, not sure what else. Very interested in the pancake pen, sounds fun!
November 1st, 2010 at 9:16 am
I was so happy to see this post today. When I did my food shopping yesterday, I looked for the GF Bisquick, but couldn’t find it at the market. When I was a little girl, my mother made these funny-looking (but delicious) biscuits with Bisquick. My brother and I came to know and love these “boulder” biscuits. That is what these drop biscuits became known as (because of their rough appearance). I would love to be able to make “boulder” biscuits for my family!
November 1st, 2010 at 1:24 pm
I have tried Bisquick but haven’t been able to purchase more since I really can’t afford it. I would love to win a prize pack of Bisquick.
November 1st, 2010 at 1:51 pm
I would love to use the new Bisquick to make some fresh from the oven GF biscuits and lots of GF sausage balls!

November 1st, 2010 at 6:37 pm
What a great solution for the grandparents who want to cook GF for the kids, but never have all the ingredients on hand! – Thanks for the post!
November 1st, 2010 at 7:14 pm
I haven’t seen the GF Bisquick in any of the markets that I frequent, but I would love to try the pancakes, waffles, biscuits, etc.!!! I haven’t been able to re-create a fluffly GF pancake, so that would be a great starting point!
November 1st, 2010 at 7:40 pm

I used to use regular Bisquick to make Cheddar Garlic biscuits (a knock-off of Red Lobster’s biscuits). I miss making those, so that would probably be the first thing I’d try!
I had sent for the free sample, but we never got our coupon… our post office “loses” free coupons on us regularly. So I’d really like to try this!
