BUTTER SAUCE FOR PASTA, SEAFOOD, ETC.

Steps:

• 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!
