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)
Directions
Step 1
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).
Step 2
Stir the mixture well with a whisk or spoon to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Transfer the cream sauce mix into an airtight container or jar. Label and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Use the prepared cream sauce immediately in your recipes or allow it to cool before refrigerating.
