Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Powdered milk
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered milk, cornstarch, chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried parsley flakes, and salt (if using).
Stir the mixture well with a whisk or spoon to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the cream sauce mix into an airtight container or jar. Label and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
To prepare the cream sauce: Combine 1/3 cup of the mix with 1 cup of liquid (such as water, milk, or broth) in a medium saucepan. Whisk until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and comes to a gentle simmer. This will take about 4–5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Use the prepared cream sauce immediately in your recipes or allow it to cool before refrigerating.
