Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve been searching for years for this recipe, cos i’m Dutch and live in the Netherlands where Bisquick is an unknown item. And since i make a lot of american baked goods cos i love them so much, i needed the bisquick. I’m a happy woman now and i’ll cherish this recipe for the rest of my (baking)life.
Thanks again and till next time,
Marja.
