Jeff Pellarin says
The ingredients list and the recipe direction are at odds; one says baking soda, one says baking powder (they are not the same thing). So, which is it?
Kelsey says
Sorry my error, off to fix.
pam wattigney says
can you substitute butter for the shortening?
Kelsey says
I am not sure it would work, I mean there is a chance if you want to try it.
Marcy says
Can I use almond flour in place of regular when making bisquick?
Kelsey says
I am not 100% sure if it would work or not. I would think it could, with just a slightly different texture and flavor. If you try it let me know.
