Very old Bisquick recipe
Heather
08/24/06
40 years or so ago I had a recipe for a quick coffee cake using Bisquick. I remember jam or preserves was spooned onto the batter and would bake into it. There was also brown sugar on the top. Does this ring a bell with anybody?

This may be the old classic Bisquick cherry swirl coffee cake:

BISQUICK - CHERRY SWIRL COFFEE CAKE

4 c. Bisquick mix
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
3 eggs
1 (21 oz.) can cherry or apricot or blueberry pie filling

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease jelly roll pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch or 2 squares pans, 9 x 9 x 1 inch.

Mix all ingredients except pie filling and glaze; beat vigorously for 30 seconds. Spread 2/3 of the batter (about 2 1/2 cups) in jelly roll pan or 1/3 of the batter (about 1 1/4 cups) in each square pan. Spread pie filling over batter (filling may not cover batter completely). Drop remaining batter by tablespoonful onto pie filling.

Bake until light brown, 20-25 minutes. Drizzle with glaze while warm. Serve warm or cool. 18 servings.

GLAZE:

1 c. powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp. milk

Beat sugar and milk until smooth and of desired consistency.

OR make the batter, omit the pie filling and handle with jam/preserves this way:

1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup peach, strawberry, or pineapple preserves

Topping:
2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Spoon both preserves over the batter, then swirl through the batter with a knife. Mix topping ingredients with fork or fingers until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes, until done. Cut into squares and serve while still warm.

Years ago I had a small recipe book that came inside of a Bisquick box. My children esp liked cinnimon peachy whirly gigs. They were small cinnimon rolls baked with canned peaches with the syrup thickened with cornstarch. My daughter wants to make them for her children and I cant find the recipe.

Knead 8 to 10 times. Roll dough into 9" square; spread with 2 TBSP softened butter. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over square. Roll up; seal well by pinching edge of dough into roll.

You can also use canned pears, quartered. I like nutmeg with the pears.

Hi, Jan, you posted this on 8/30 on another thread. There are literally dozens of this type recipe to be found with the google search I recommended; you will have to do the sort through-and-look effort yourself, as I can't tell from the description which one you are looking for.

How about this microwave quickie?

Caramel-Pecan Coffee Cake
Serves: 2

Prep: 5 min
Microwave: 7 min
Stand: 1 min

How would you like to have a fresh-baked coffee cake, dripping with brown sugar caramel and pecans, on the table in less than 15 minutes? Here's the secret: use your microwave! It really is possible-and it's incredibly delicious too!

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup Original Bisquick®
1/4 cup cold water

1. Place butter in 1-quart casserole. Microwave uncovered on High (100%) until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, pecans, corn syrup and cinnamon; spread evenly in casserole. Microwave
uncovered until bubbly, 45 to 60 seconds. Tilt casserole so brown sugar mixture runs to side; place 6-ounce juice glass in center of casserole (the glass prevents a doughy center- make sure it is microwave safe).
2. Mix Bisquick and water until soft dough forms. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto brown sugar mixture. Place casserole on inverted plate in microwave oven. Microwave uncovered on Medium-high
(70%) 2 minutes; rotate casserole 1/2 turn. Microwave uncovered until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes longer.
3. Remove glass. Immediately invert on heatproof serving plate; let casserole stand 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over coffee cake. Serve warm.

I am looking for a similiar recipe book back in 1980 publication by BETTY CROCKER and titled CREATIVE RECIPES WITH BISQUICK.
A friend shared it with me, but of course, I
have to return it to her.
I enjoy baking with bisquick recipes and sharing them with neighbors and at the senior sites we attend.

Bisquick had a recipe that came in a promotional pamphlet inside the box. It tasted good but lost the recipe. Some of the ingredients I remember were shrimp, crab, bean sprouts, bisquick, flour, french cut beans, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, baking powder/soda. When deep fried, it puff up.

I am looking for a strawberry cobbler recipe that my mom made in the 1960's. The crust was made from Bisquick, a can of beer and other ingredients. It seems like the batter was fairly runny and was poured over the fruit instead of dropped by the spoonful. Friends have suggested that my mom was just drinking beer while she cooked, but I remember the distinct flavor of the crust.
ellen
09/07/09
You have rude friends!
There are a bunch of Bisquick beer bread/ beer muffin/ beer biscuit recipes from that era, any of which could be dropped/poured over the fruit of choice. The addition of the beer gave the batter a yeasty, more "home made" flavor, it was thought. Here is a very simple one:

BEER BREAD

2 c. Bisquick
3 tbsp. sugar
1 c. beer (your choice)

In a mixing bowl, blend the Bisquick and sugar, then add the beer. Stir until well blended. Spoon the batter into a loaf pan or into individual muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Some folks use 3 cups of bisquick and add an egg.

Years ago when i was in middle school (this would have been about mid eighties) and i remember my mother making a Bisquik recipe for these tart-like things that were like sweet biscuits, and she would drop jelly in the middle of them before cooking. Please help since this was easily my favorite breakfast growing up and i would love to make it for my family.
Thank you,

Thank-you so very much!!I have been looking all over for the Betty Crocker peachy whirly gigs recipe. I even contacted the Betty Crocker company and they sent me a recipe that wasn't even close. I made this frequently when my kids were small, and it was a favorite. About a year ago my daughter asked me to make it again and I couldn't find the recipe. Thanks to you I can now surprise her on her upcoming birthday with this delicious dessert.
Thanks again.

Trying to find old Bisquick coffee cake recipe. Have seen many old ones that look great but my Mother used to make one that you heated up the streusel (butter, brown sugar, etc.) and then put it all over the cake after it was removed from the oven. Any ideas?
ellen
07/23/10
I will look, but this may be a no-show. Was there anything special about the cake layer? There was a vogue for a Bisquick oatmeal cake where you put the topping on and ran it back under the broiler in the late 60's and early 70's.
John
07/23/10
Thanks for getting back to me. Nothing special about the cake layer. The recipe said to poke holes into the cake after it was removed from the oven and drizzled all over the top. Definitely not Oatmeal. Had to be on the box in the mid-late 80's. I think streusel was just melted butter, brown sugar.

My aunt made a blueberry pudding cake or cobbler from a Bisquick recipe in the late 1950s and early 1960s. I lost the recipe several years ago and would love to have it again! It was more solid; not runny and I served it warm with ice cream.
ellen
07/26/10
It may have been made with fresh or frozen blueberries, not blueberry pie filling. This off -site recipe might suit:

www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,2371,153178-239206,00.html

A variation drops blueberry pie filling on top of the batter, juicier but not as juicy as the fruit on the bottom ones.
