What is ‘baking mix’ that is called for in the Pear Spoon Bread?
I am not 100% certain, but I think baking mix would be a product similar to Bisquick, or Pamela’s Gluten Free Baking Mix.
We used Jiffy Baking Mix and is located on the baking aisle. Be aware, however, that this is NOT Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (which is probably the best-known Jiffy product). It’s possible that other brands/types might work…..
Bisquick will work, too.
