For those of you who don't approve of the wasteful packaging, there is a simple solution. Buy the boxed Bisquik Baking Mix, the box mix and the jug mix are basically the same, and the recipe for the pancakes are printed on the box. *(SEE BELOW) If you want the convenience of the jug, just take a few moments and measure out the required amount of mix that you need and store in an old mason jar, mayonaise jar or a plastic bowl (make sure the plastic bowl's lid has a tight seal) and store in the pantry until your ready to use it. When you are ready simpy add the required amount of milk and either shake well or stir and your ready to fry. As for the thickness of the pancakes, simply add or decrease the milk a little bit until you have a pancake thickness you're happy with. If you prefer substitute Jiffy Mix for Bisquik it taste just as good.

*This is the actual recipe from Betty Crocker's Bisquick web site:
