Buttered White Sauce Mix
This is similar to making a roux, but you can store the dry part in fridge for easy quick uses. Can double or triple this recipe....
​
1 c. dry nonfat milk powder
1/2 c. unbleached flour
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. sea salt
**1 stick (1/2 c.) cold butter, cut into 8 slices
​
​
Mix dry milk, flour, salt. Using 2 knives, or your fingers, cut butter into the dry mix until crumbly like coarse corn meal. Store in a tightly covered container. Keeps in fridge 2 to 4 months.
​
​
To make 1 cup white sauce: 1/2 c. mix + 1 c. cool water in saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whip until it starts to thicken, then cook/stir one minute to make certain the flour is properly cooked/done.
​
​
Condensed soup (equals one can purchased): 2/3 c. mix + 1 c. and 2 T. water
​
​
Alfredo sauce (equals one bottle purchased): Stir together 3/4 c. mix + 2 T. dry milk powder. Add 1 and 3/4 c. water. Cook as above, take off heat, add parmesan cheese (for the dry parmesan: try 1/3 to 1/2 cup, or to taste) (for fresh parmesan, try 1 c. grated, or to taste)
