Poly Flour is a mixed Flour recipe I have used for many years. It was one of my tricks for various food items. From producing soft bread products, to unbelievable crunch in deep fried foods. You are going to want this Ingredient on standby in your kitchen. It’s Easy as 1-2-3 and truly is versatile.

This is my version of a Homemade Bisquick Flour. It’s easy too! Just combine and mix.

Bisquick Ingredients

Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Vegetable Oil (palm, canola, high oleic soybean, and/or sunflower oil), Corn Starch, Dextrose, Leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), Salt, Sugar, Monoglycerides.

In this blend the Cornstarch is left out, because the Poly Flour is also used in places where cornstarch is not desired, such as in dough, to an extent. For Biscuits, I found that adding in cornstarch results in better Biscuits and more inline with Tim Hortons Style Tea Biscuits. It’s a substitute way of making cake flour with All Purpose Flour by cutting it with cornstarch.

Cornstarch can be added afterward for recipes that would benefit from it.
