Quick and Easy Pizza Crust (Bisquick Pizza Crust)


If you are ever like me, you are sometimes hard on time. And in my family everyone loves pizza and during the summer everyone wants yummy food for lunch. They always ask me for pizza for lunch. And instead going through the trouble of making a complicated time consuming crust for lunch, I usually use this extra easy crust instead for an easy lunch or what ever calls for a crust. It is easy and doesn't require a lot of preparation or time to make. So it fits in perfectly for lunch. 

I have made dessert pizza with this dough and to add a little sweetness to this dough, I just add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough. And when I am in a pinch, I make mini pizzas for the kids to make and decorate on their on for a fun hands on lunch time.







Quick and Easy Crust (Bisquick Pizza Crust)
based on recipe from Tablespoon.com

1 1/2 cups Bisquick

1/3- 2/3 cups hot water
1/4 cup flour to roll dough

Mix Bisquick and hot water together well in a medium sized bowl. Roll dough into desire size and shape. (I can get one 12-inch crust or 3-4 mini crusts)


I know this recipe has helped me in a pinch and I hope it does the same for you. Have an amazing rest of your day and thanks for reading. Enjoy!

 Peace, love, bake on.

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Everyone loves pancakes, right? I do and so does my family. We have them quite regularly because they are a family favorite and also because they are rather simple to make. I had been grasping at straws because while I liked the convenience of a boxed pancake mix there was something missing in flavor. I don't what it was but I found what was missing in this, now loved, pancake recipe. They make perfect fluffy buttermilk pancakes. And of course I want to share this amazing recipe with you. 
This recipe is originally a copycat IHOP pancake recipe. And it comes pretty close. 



Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

from Mostly Homemade Mom


1 1/4 cup flour 
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cup buttermilk (I used regular milk with 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon vinegar as a substitute)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup sugar

Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add egg and buttermilk and mix until well incorporated. Stir in melted butter and sugar. Grease griddle and cook pancakes over medium heat, flipping once bubbles appear on surface of batter. Serve with softened butter and warmed syrup. And enjoy!

                            Peace, love, and cook on.
