List of Ingredients
White Sauce MIx
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
16 tablespoons cold butter
Onion Sauce Cubes
4 tablespoons onion powder
Recipe
Sauce Mix: Combine flour, salt and pepper in an 8 x 8-inch square pan.
Working quickly, use your hands to cut the butter well into the flour
leaving no lumps. Do not use a food processor blender to do this. Use
a rubber spatula to press mixture evenly in the pan. Freeze,
uncovered, until solid. Remove the pan from the freezer and let its
contents soften for a minute or two. Cut the frozen mixture into 8
equal rectangles.
Remove 1 rectangle and cut it into 16 small cubes or pieces. The cubes
don't have to be neat or exactly 16, just as long as they are small.
Wrap the 16 or so cubes in a flat packet of aluminum foil. Repeat for
the remaining 7 rectangles. Place the packets in a small plastic bag;
label the bag and return to freezer.
Onion Sauce Cubes: Follow above directions but add onion powder to the
flour mixture before making the same cube mixture.
To use: Bring 1 cup milk to scalding; add the contents of 1 packet of
cubes; cook and stir over low heat until thickened.
Variations on White Sauce Mix:
Mushroom: Saute 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms in a small amount of
butter; add to the thickened sauce.
A La King Sauce: To thickened sauce, add 2 tablespoons finely minced
and sauteed green pepper and 1 small minced pimento.
Newburg Sauce: Use 3/4 cup milk mixed with 1/4 cup dry sherry, 1
teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes.
Curry: Mix 2 teaspoons (or more to taste) curry powder into thickened
sauce.
