If you don't have any Bisquick on hand but are really craving these delicious sausage balls, you can mix up a few dry ingredients to substitute the package mix. For a batch of homemade Bisquick, you will need 6 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a cup of butter OR vegetable shortening. Mix the dry ingredients in a food processor until blended, then pulse in the fat (butter or shortening) until it resembles a cornmeal texture. Store mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
