• *****************************************
• WHITE SAUCE * ingredients
• 1/4 c. Milk *
• 2 tsp Flour *

Instructions

• Traditionally, White sauce is made with a butter roux, but for simplicity and this small amount , we will use this. In a small sauce pan, (my husbands favorite is the Stir Fry Pan listed below.) mix the milk and flour well using a Wire Whip. (he uses a Wire Whip with Stainless Steel Balls on the end, also listed below.)



• Cook on medium low for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with the whip. It will become thick. Remove from heat.



• Using a suitable mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the crab and Panko crumbs.



• Open the crab and drain well, do not rinse. Fold the crab and panko with wet mixture, cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
  



• Portion to size, and light coat 2 flat sides with flour.



• Saute' on medium low in butter for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
