Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Dry milk powder
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Dry onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground thyme
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dry milk powder, and cornstarch. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the dry onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, ground black pepper, dried parsley, and ground thyme. Mix well until all seasonings are fully incorporated into the dry mix.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or jar for storage. Label the container with the contents and storage instructions.
To use as a soup base: Mix 1/3 cup of the dry mix with 1 cup of cold water. Whisk together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Add additional seasonings or ingredients as desired.
To use for sauce: Mix 1/4 cup of the dry mix with 1 cup of hot liquid (milk, broth, or water). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
Store the dry mix in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Shake or stir the mix before each use to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
