White sauce mix

[Guest guest]

This is a recipe I find useful in many dishes. I got it from a non-vegetarian

cookbook called 'Make-A-Mix'. I highly recommend the book as it has many

time saving and money saving ideas for making your own mixes and sauce

packets.

 

White Sauce Mix

 

2 cups instant non-fat dry milk

I cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

I cup butter or margarine

 

Directions: Combine dry milk, flour, and salt. Mix well. With a pastry cutter,

cut in butter or marg until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in large

airtight container. Label and date with contents. Keep in refrigerator. Use

within 2 months. Makes 1 quart White Sauce Mix.

 

Basic White Sauce

 

1/2 cup WSM

I cup cool water

pepper, herbs, and spices if desired

 

In a small sauce pan, combine WSM and water. Cook over low heat stirring

until smooth and creamy.

 

~This is an excellent base for thickening soups or making a cheese sauce. I

will post one or two of my favorite tried recipes that I use this in during the

next week. Since the weather is cooling off and autumn is closing in, I know I

will be making more soups and stews.~
