WHY? you ask.

When General Mills introduced a gluten-free Bisquick a few years ago, I ran out and bought a box.


The box was a mere 16 ounces for around $4.50 and … AND it didn’t contain shortening.

And it doesn’t save time. I could NOT BELIEVE that they sold a box of bisquick sans shortening. I mean, c’mon!
