Ingredients

  • Necessary Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 -4 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • Seasoning Ingredients
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 pinches cayenne
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Method

  • Let both butter and margarine soften.
  • Using hand mixer, blend butter and margarine together with flour until well incorporated.(I generally do this blending in a glass bowl which I can then place on top of a pan of simmering water for the next steps).
  • Melt the butter/flour mixture in a double boiler over med. low heat(or glass bowl over simmering pan) until just melted.
  • As butter/flour mixture is melting, add it the evaporated milk, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. All of these ingredients are according to your taste - you can use real garlic and heavy cream, white pepper, whatever you prefer or have on hand. You can add up to 4 tablespoons of evaporated milk without making the sauce too thin. Lastly, add in as much paremsan cheese as you would like, my preference is about 2 tablespoons.
  • Pour over noodles or whatever and enjoy!
