Chicken and Dumplings

* Exported from MasterCook *

White Sauce

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup butter/ margarine or canola oil
3/4 cup flour (up to 1/2 whole wheat is fine)
6 cups milk
2 tablespoons chicken or beef bouillon granules or 6 bouillon cubes

Assembly Instruction: Use a large heavy bottomed saucepan or stock pot, melt the butter or margarine over low heat. Add the flour and stir until the mixture is smooth then cook until it begins to bubble. Do not let it brown! Gradually add the milk.

When the sauce is thickened- be patient a double batch will take 30 minutes-stir in the bouillon granules or cubes. Don't make any more than 2 batches at once.

NOTES: I add sautéed onions and/ or mushrooms to the sauce depending on what recipe I am using it with. For the enchilada recipe I add a generous amount of mushrooms and onions.
