Notes

One night in 1930, a General Mills salesman by the name of Carl Smith was in the dining car of a train headed to San Fransisco. He asked the chef for something quick and easy, that wouldn't be too much trouble, and what arrived on his plate inspired what we know today as Bisquick.

Smith was served a plate of biscuits hot from the oven almost immediately, which was most unexpected. Baffled at the speed at which his meal was served, he asked the chef how he was able to make the biscuits so fast, and the chef revealed his secret. He used a pre-mixed blend of lard, baking powder, flour and salt that he stored in an ice box. When he mixed that the blend with water or milk, it created a batter he could then bake and serve in a matter of minutes.

Smith recognized the potential of this mixed baking product, and brought the idea back to General Mills upon his return. After the food scientists there tickered with the formula and got it just right, Bisquick was born and sold in stores in 1931. It has since changed the way people bake forever.
