I was wondering what the difference would be if I used Jiffy baking
mix in an Impossible Pie recipe instead of Bisquick? I don't know the
formulation differences and I'd hate to go out and buy a box of
another brand of baking mix if what I have (Jiffy) will work as well.

Thanks,
Heidi

I think you will be okay using the Jiffy. To me if the recipe calls for
a baking mix I don't think what brand you have would matter. The only
thing that would be different would be the consistency and how it may
turn out.

For me I always have Bisquick on hand, because I am normally making
pancakes and biscuits with it. If I had a recipe calling for Jiffy
baking mix then I would be like you questioning the difference, but I
would use what I had on hand.

Good Luck.

I'd compare a couple of other recipes that use the products, Heidi.
there's probaby a biscuit recipe and a pancake recipe on each product.
If they're the same or mighty close, I'd do it. FWIW.

It works just fine. Jiffy tastes a little different, Bisquick has a ton
more sodium than Jiffy and I'm not sure what else, but for technical
purposes you can swap the two. I've used them interchangeably for
decades and not noticed appreciable differences in baking -- other than
the salty taste Bisquick has.

I don't happen to use Jiffy, but I often use Pioneer Baking Mix
instead of Bisquick. I can't tell the difference in the end result.

Uh, but isn't that what the OP is worried about?!

They are virtually identical products.
I use Jiffy all the time. They are interchangeable.

Jiffy will work.


Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Last night I went home and looked at the recipe. It only called for
1/2 cup of Bisquick and I thought I could spare that much for an
experiment. I made the Impossible Buttermilk Pie recipe and it seems
to have come out just fine. Or at least, I'm satisified with the
result. Thanks for all the help!

I started using Jiffy this year, after using Bisquick for over 230
years. I can't tell any difference, except in the price.

However, I also downloaded a few home recipes for making my own baking
mix -- flour, lard, and a touch of baking powder. That also works
just fine in my recipes - biscuits, etc., simple things. Do a search
on Bisquick substitute here and on the major recipes websites. You'll
find several, all very similar to each other.
