  • Notes 


    • One of Charles E. Harnsberger's sons was credited with the invention of Bisquick, pancake batter which he later sold the rights to.
      -----
      This is the Betty Crocker explanation of the history of Bisquick:
      In 1930, a General Mills sales executive was traveling by train late at night. In the dining car, he was served a plate of delicious, oven-hot biscuits moments after he sat down. He was amazed at the cook's ability to produce fresh biscuits in such a short time. The chef's timesaving secret? He had blended lard, flour, baking powder and salt in advance, and stored the mixture in an ice chest. From this, the executive recognized the potential of a premixed baking mix, and he took the idea to the head chemist of General Mills. The result is Bisquick, the country's premiere convenience baking mix.
