Whole wheat pastry flour is a *long* way from Bisquick.

I don't think you can. Bisquick is a comercial dry mix of a general purpose pancake/biscut/quick
bread ingredients. All you add is things like eggs, milk, (whatever). And I believe that whole wheat
flour (on its own) doesn't make good pancakes/biscuts/quick breads. You need some of the higher
gluten flour.

Yes, you need to add leavening and some type of fat. There are various "recipes" for this on the
web, but none that I've seen call for whole wheat flour or for pastry flour. I would think some
adjustment for this might be necessary. Generally, when substituting cake flour or pastry flour for
regular plain flour, 2 tablespoons of addition flour are added for each cup of measured flour. In
the following recipe from Cooks.Com, that would be an additional 18 tablespoons of pastry flour. I'm
not sure of the effect of it being whole wheat.

Actually, you can. This is from "Whole Foods for the Whole Family", the La Leche League cookbook. I
used to use 1 and 1/2 c. dry milk, and butter in mine, but you can play around with the milk powder
and oil to get what you want.

LLL Baking Mix:

8 c. flour (whole wheat, whole wheat pastry, or Cornell Mix) 5 T. baking powder 1 T. salt 1 to 2 c.
dry milk powder 1 1/2 c oil, butter (softened) or fat

Combine dry ingredients well in a large bowl. Cut in oil or butter with your fingers to make fine
crumbs. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. Makes 11 c. , and may be doubled.
