[recipe] White Sauce Mix

[Guest guest]

As promised, here is the tried and true white sauce mix

recipe that i just love. It is so good for using as a base for

any kind of cream of veggie soup. It also makes a nice

pan-gravy for vegetarian sausage and biscuits!

Now i have not tried this using soy milk powder yet, but

if any of you kind vegans do please share with me your

results as i'd love to know if it works well.
