Bisquick help please.

First, what is it?If we don't have it in NZ, what can I replace it with?

Found a recipe for Bacon Biscuits (scones) with Orange-Honey Butter which sounds really yummy, but really, these American recipes are so not helpful with some of their ingredients.

Also what is cornmeal and what can I replace it with if we don't have cornmeal here?

Thanks.

Sometimes they only way to get these items you see in recipes are online. Some of the ingredients they use in recipes I see online I have never heard of.

Bisquick is a ready mix for scones that I have only ever seen once in NZ. Just make a scone dough

Yes, just make a scone dough and add the cornmeal.It will work fine.You'll find cornmeal usually in the bulk bins.

Cornmeal can be bought ground either fine or coarse.I prefer the gritty texture of coarse-ground cornmeal for muffins and cornbread.

It's in packets on the supermarket shelves too.'Sun Valley' brand is a good one - labelled 'Polenta' which is really the word for cornmeal porridge.
