This recipe came about because I went to use my Bisquick and it had bugs in it, and I had to throw it out. I decided I would make my own version and not use my usual recipe. This is the one I came up with. I added additional baking powder, because I wanted them to be extra thick and fluffy. Omit the additional Baking powder & they will not rise as high. They turned out a light golden brown and tasted so light and tasty. The vanilla bean paste added a lot of flavor. The left overs reheat very well in the microwave, we loved them. They tasted as good as they did the first day I made them.
