Basic White Sauce (to use to make various cream of _____ soups)
More-with-Less Cookbook, Doris Janzen Longracre
Medium-thick compares to undiluted condensed soups and makes approximately the same amount contained in one 10 ounce can.
For a Thin Sauce
Melt 1 T butter in a heavy saucepan. Blend in 1 T sweet rice flour and 1/4 t. salt cooking and stirring until bubbly. Using wire whisk to prevent lumps, stir in 1 cup of milk, stock or combination of both. Cook just until smooth and thickened. Makes slightly over 1 cup.
For a Medium Sauce
Melt 2 T butter in a heavy saucepan. Blend in 2 T sweet rice flour and 1/4 t. salt cooking and stirring until bubbly. Using wire whisk to prevent lumps, stir in 1 cup of milk, stock or combination of both. Cook just until smooth and thickened. Makes slightly over 1 cup.
For a Medium-thick Sauce
Melt 3 T butter in a heavy saucepan. Blend in 3 T sweet rice flour and 1/4 t. salt cooking and stirring until bubbly. Using wire whisk to prevent lumps, stir in 1 cup of milk, stock or combination of both. Cook just until smooth and thickened. Makes slightly over 1 cup.
For a Thick Sauce
Melt 4 T butter in a heavy saucepan. Blend in 4 T sweet rice flour and 1/4 t. salt cooking and stirring until bubbly. Using wire whisk to prevent lumps, stir in 1 cup of milk, stock or combination of both. Cook just until smooth and thickened. Makes slightly over 1 cup.
Options:
Cheese Sauce: Add 1/2 cup grated 'nippy' cheese and 1/4 t. dry mustard.
Mushroom Sauce: Saute 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms nad 1 T finely chopped onion in butter before adding flour.
Celery Sauce: Saute 1/2 cup chopped celery and 1 T finely chopped onion in butter before adding flour.
Chicken Sauce: Use chicken broth or bouillon as half the liquid. Add 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning or sage, and diced cooked chicken if available.
Vary flavor with the following:
curry powder
garlic, onion or celery salt
grated nutmeg
lemon juice
Worcestershire sacue
chili powder
chopped or blended vegetables
chopped parsley

I'm not sure how it would freeze. I would make a batch, freeze it and see how it defrosts before making a huge batch.
It goes together so quickly I probably wouldn't even bother to make and freeze. I'm betting before a batch is defrosted I could probably make a fresh batch.
good luck. |
