Magic Mix

2 1/3 C. Non instant Powdered Milk
1 C. All Purpose Flour
1 C. Real Margarine (not spread) or Butter, at room temperature

Combine dry milk, flour and margarine/butter into a large bowl and mix with electric mixer until it looks like corn meal. Keep mix tightly covered in the refrigerator, it will stay good up to 2 months.

If you do not have butter or margarine you can also use the following recipe to get a similar mix that can be substituted for most magic mix recipes:

4 c instant nonfat dry milk
1 c flour
1/2 c vegetable oil

Same instructions.

Homemade Onion Soup Mix

This can be made up in larger batches and stored in the pantry to use when you need it. Just like Lipton oinion soup - great for flavoring sauces, rice, and more.

4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules or 2 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
8 teaspoons dried onion
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Blend ingredients together and store in a ziploc container.

White Sauce Mix

This is a handy mix that can be made up and kept in the fridge up to 6 months to make cooking a meal quicker.

4 c. instant dry milk
4 c. powdered butter, sifted
2 t. salt
4 c. flour
1 t. white pepper
Mix ingredients together, store in covered container, label and date. Use within 6 months. (unbleached white flour makes a slightly thinner sauce; increase sauce mix in recipes).

To reconstitute and use:

Thin White Sauce
1 c. warm water
1/3 c. white sauce mix

Medium White Sauce
1 c. warm water
½ c. white sauce mix

Thick White Sauce
1 c. warm water
