You do know that General Mills made Betty up, right? And that they
also own bisquick?

I don't think it is *just* the convenience. I have tried to make
the perfect cheddar garlic drop biscuits with several recipes. So
far the best-- by far-- is [roughly] the one on the box of Bisquick.
We also use it for waffles & a couple other recipes.

There is something about the texture/flavor of Bisquick that I haven't
been able to replicate.

I haven't had it in a long time-- but if you post your recipe I
promise I'll try it both ways.<g>
