How to Make Sauce Mix

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth, creating a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens to the consistency of cornmeal.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  6. To use: Whisk 1/2 cup of the sauce mix with 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warmed through and smooth.
  7. Add your desired cheese (e.g., 1/2 cup shredded cheddar), herbs (e.g., 1 tablespoon chopped parsley), and spices for your chosen dish.
