Mix recipes

[rideaway]

I am looking for recipes to use that are similar to the bisquick type mixes for biscuits, pancakes, etc. The ones I have found on-line don't have the recipes attached to know how much mix to water or milk, etc.

I work and need something quick sometimes when I get home, but can't afford to buy the premade mixes in our local store.

Thanks!
