Quick Bisquick Noodles

Here is my trusty Bisquick noodles recipe, a simple homemade pasta made with just a few basic pantry ingredients. These noodles are tender, satisfying, and perfect for soups or serving with your favorite sauce.

These Bisquick noodles have become my go-to when I need a quick pasta fix but don’t want to run to the store. My kids love helping me roll out the dough, and there’s something so satisfying about making noodles from scratch. Plus, they taste way better than the boxed stuff!

What Kind of Baking Mix Should I Use?

While Bisquick is the classic choice for this recipe, you can actually use any all-purpose baking mix you have on hand. The original Bisquick works great because it contains the perfect blend of flour, shortening, salt, and leavening agents that help create tender noodles. If you’re using a store brand or different baking mix, just make sure it’s a complete mix (meaning it already contains shortening and leaveners). Some people prefer to use Heart Smart Bisquick for a lower-fat option, which will work just fine but might produce slightly less tender noodles. Just avoid pancake mixes, as they typically contain added sugar and other ingredients that could affect your final result.

Options for Substitutions

This simple noodle recipe can be adapted with a few substitutions if needed:

• Baking mix: If you don’t have Bisquick on hand, you can make your own by mixing 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1½ tablespoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 8 tablespoons cold butter (cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly).
• Eggs: While eggs are pretty crucial for this recipe, you can try using 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt per egg. Keep in mind this will change the texture and the noodles might be less firm.
• Water: You can use milk instead of water for slightly richer noodles. If the dough seems too dry with any of these substitutions, add liquid one teaspoon at a time until you reach the right consistency.

Watch Out for These Mistakes While Cooking

The biggest challenge when making Bisquick noodles is rolling the dough too thick, which can result in heavy, doughy noodles instead of the light, tender texture you’re after – aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for the best results.

Working with too much flour during rolling can make your noodles tough, so dust your surface lightly and use just enough to prevent sticking.

When cooking the noodles, avoid overcrowding the pot as they need room to move freely – use plenty of boiling water and stir gently at the beginning to prevent them from sticking together.

Test for doneness at around 3-4 minutes by taking a noodle out and tasting it – they should be tender but still have a slight bite, and remember that they’ll continue cooking slightly even after draining.

What to Serve With Bisquick Noodles?

These homemade noodles are perfect for serving with hearty, saucy dishes that let them soak up all the good flavors. Try them with a rich beef stew or chicken pot pie filling – the noodles will soak up all those tasty juices. Since these noodles are on the heartier side, they also work great with simple butter and herbs, or tossed in a basic marinara sauce. If you’re making them for a weeknight dinner, try adding some roasted vegetables on the side to round out the meal.

Storage Instructions

Keep Fresh: Once your Bisquick noodles are cooked and cooled, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To prevent them from sticking together, toss them with a tiny bit of oil before storing.

Make Ahead: You can make the noodle dough up to 1 day ahead and keep it wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling and cutting.

Serve Again: When you’re ready to enjoy your leftover noodles, just drop them in boiling water for 30 seconds to heat through, or add them directly to your hot soup or sauce. They’ll taste just as good as when you first made them!

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups baking mix (like Bisquick, for quick noodles)
• 2 tbsp water

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

Begin by cracking four eggs into a bowl.

Add two tablespoons of water and beat the eggs until well combined.

This will serve as the liquid base for your dough.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients to Form Dough

In a separate bowl, place three cups of Bisquick and create a well in the center of the dry mix.

Pour the beaten egg mixture into the well and gently stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms.

Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the dough tough.

Step 3: Roll Out and Shape the Dough

Lightly dust a flat surface with Bisquick to prevent sticking.

Place the formed dough onto the surface and roll it out to your desired thickness using a rolling pin.

Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking later on.

Step 4: Cut and Dry the Dough

Use a knife or a pasta cutter to slice the rolled dough into strips, approximately one-half inch wide.

Ensure even cuts for consistent noodle sizes.

Allow the cut strips to dry for at least six hours before cooking.

This drying time is essential for texture and prevents the noodles from sticking together when cooked.
