How to Replace Milk With Water in Bisquick

Bisquick is an all-purpose, powdered baking and pancake mix. Made from enriched wheat flour, 1/3 cup of Bisquick contains 160 calories, 4.5 g of fat, 26 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of protein and 1 g of fiber. Preparing the Bisquick mixture with water instead of milk will not alter the taste of your pancakes or biscuits, but may make them slightly drier.
