"I keep this mix handy in my fridge so when I'm in a hurry, there is less measuring and fewer ingredients to get out," reports Joan Baskin, Black creek, British Columbia. "I've never had a lump white sauce using this recipe."

Ingredients

  • 2 cups instant nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup cold butter
  • ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup water

Directions

  1. Combine dry milk, flour and salt; mix well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Yield: Number of batches varies depending on thickness of sauce (4-2/3 cups total).
  2. To prepare white sauce: For a thin white sauce, combine 1/3 cup mix and 1 cup water in a saucepan. For a medium white sauce, use 1/2 cup mix. For a thick white sauce, use 3/4 cup of mix. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
