Ingredients
Directions
Mix 1 Tbsp corn starch and 1 cup milk until smooth
Add 2 Tbsp margarine, ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper.
Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute. Use for creamed vegetables, meat, poultry, fish or casseroles. Makes 1 cup.
TIPS:
1 Tbsp cornstarch = 2 Tbsp flour. Corn starch has twice the thickening power of flour. When a gravy, sauce, soup or stew recipe calls for flour, use half as much corn starch to thicken.
To thicken hot liquids, first mix corn starch with a little cold water until smooth. Gradually stir into hot liquid until blended. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and boil one minute.
