I have those bisquits in a tube and I have Krusteaz pancake mix. Which would work better as a substitute? I usually call my Mom but she's away on vacation. Thanks in advance.
Peace,
Laurie

biscutis in a tube make great dumplings, just cut them or pinch them into very small pieces as they take a long time to cook and puff up a lot

I assume you will be de-boning the chicken before adding it to the dumplings? If so, you can make a broth or stock with the leftover bones. If you have a small pressure cooker, you can do it really fast. If not, it will take at LEAST an hour (broth). Three is better (stock). I like a simple stock, I don't use celery because I don't want my stock to taste like soup. Lots of garlic, a carrot, some leek tops if you have them in the fridge or a half an onion (for just one chicken carcass) or a bunch of green onions, salt, pepper, a cup of white wine. Just let it simmer for a few hours and pour it through a sieve, voila, chicken stock. If you are using a pressure cooker, add the wine after you've pressure cooked the stock--pressure cookers make stock kind of flat, you'll need the wine to perk it back up. The canned chicken broth will be fine for dumplings. I don't like chicken and dumplings but my husband does. I made him chicken and dumplings with Bisquick and he loved it. I think I took the recipe right off the box!

The Krusteaz would be the closest to a direct substitute for Bizquick ... I'd recommend you use that. The biscuits in a tube would probably work as well, but there is enough difference that the change would be noticed ... it's tough to predict whether the change would be an improvement or something bad. It might be fun to try one as an experiment though.

Use the biscuits in a tube. Open the can, cut each biscuit in quarters and drop it in your pot and cook the for about 15-20 minutes. Or you can make it from scratch, I use this recipe ALL the time for biscuits because they are simple and delicous.....
2C. flour
1TB. baking powder
1ts. salt
1/4 LB (or one stick) really cold butter
3/4C. half and half
Mix dry ingredients in a mixer with the paddle attachment. Cut the butter in until they are the size of peas then add the half and half and mix. Roll out on a floured surface. You can then break off pieces and drop them in your pot.
They are really delicous.

Canned biscuits would be the better option out of those too. You might do a quick search for some of the recipes though, since making them from scratch is REALLY easy.

1 cup flour
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
Combine all ingredients and use as a substitution for Bisquick (Baking Mix).

Do you have a cookbook? Look up dumplings. They are as easy to make as mixing up your bisquick.

Sandra Lee used the canned biscuits on her show a month or so ago
