Easy Mix White Sauce 100g

A white sauce in powder form is a convenient, dehydrated mix of ingredients like flour, milk powder, starch, and seasonings (nutmeg, onion, etc.) that quickly turns into a creamy Béchamel sauce (white sauce) by whisking with hot water or milk, perfect for pasta bakes, gratins, soups, and casseroles. It saves time, reduces waste, and provides a lump-free, consistent base for many dishes.
