[recipe re-post] White Sauce Mix ~ per request

[Guest guest]

i just finished reading my digest from yesterday's posts and

i can't remember who asked for this [sorry], but someone

wanted ideas for a white sauce without butter. Here is a wonderful

mix recipe that i use for making a white sauce. While it is not

dairy-free, i am wondering if it could not be adjusted to be dairy

free by using the readily available soy milk dry powder and then

cutting in a vegan margarine ~ like Earth Balance brand ~ into

the recipe to make the sauce very similar to the dairy version.

i can't think of any reason why this would not work well given

the chemistry of this recipe. Hope it is helpful.

 

White Sauce Mix

 

2 cups instant nonfat dry milk ~ sub vegan soy milk powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp salt

1 cup butter or margarine ~ use vegan margarine

 

Combine dry milk, flour and salt. Mix well.

W ith a pastry blender, cut in butter or margarine

until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Put in a large

airtight container. Label and date contents. Store in

refrigerator. Use within 2 months. Makes 1 quart

white sauce mix.

 

Basic White Sauce

 

1/2 cup White Sauce Mix

1 cup cool water

Pepper, herbs and spices, if desired

 

In a small saucepan, combine white sauce mix and water. For

a thinner sauce, decrease white sauce mix to 1/4 cup. For a thicker

sauce, increase white sauce mix to 3/4 cup. Cook over low heat

until smooth, stirring constantly. Season with pepper, herbs and

spices, if desired. Makes about 1 1/2 cups sauce.
