About this episode

This episode explores the history and versatility of Bisquick, featuring a comparison of two unique pie recipes.

Bisquick, a baking mix sold by General Mills under its Betty Crocker brand, hit store shelves in 1931. While it was first promoted as a fast and easy way to make biscuits, it wasn't long before it was being used to make any number of baked good and recipes, like pancakes, cookies, and impossible pies.
