White Sauce Mix

Recipe By : Frugal Cooking author Marenda Babcock
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces And Marinades

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups Instant Powdered Milk
2 cups Flour
4 teaspoons Salt
2 cups Margarine -- (4 sticks)

This batch makes about 12 -one cup servings. Each one cup serving costs 16 cent
s. This batch will fit very snugly in a 3# empty shortening can. 1 keep this st
ored in the refrigerator because I don't use this as quickly as some of my mixe
s that I make and it does have margarine in it. I keep this recipe taped to the
can. Then I cover the recipe on the can with clear contact paper making it eas
y to wipe off . For each one cup serving of white sauce mix. 1/2 c. White Sauce
Mix 1 c. cool water Heat to boiling

If using natural flavorings, beef, chicken or turkey, take drippings including
fat and put in cup or bowl and put in freezer until fat rises to the top and ha
rdens. Remove from freezer and discard fat that has floated to the top. (To spe
ed up the fat hardening process add an ice cube to the drippings before putting
in the freezer.) Some of the drippings may then be added to the above white sa
uce. These drippings can be very strong in flavor. I would add only 1 tablespoo
n at a time until you get the desired
flavor. If you don't have any natural drippings available then use the followi
ng substitutes. For each one cup serving above add 1/2 teaspoon of chicken or b
eef soup base. Be careful because these can be very high in salt. To make a bee
f gravy that is darker in color you may need to add a teaspoon of kitchen bouqu
et. And while I'm at it, perhaps I should give you the potatoe soup recipe that
will use white sauce mix :)
