1/4 cup of the following dry mixture:
1 cup flour
1 cup instant nonfat dry milk

1 cup half-and-half (or whole milk)
2 tbsp butter
1/2 - 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Stir in 2 tbsp spicy brown mustard when you add the milk. Great over pork chops.
Add 1/2 clove of pressed garlic to the mixture after you add the milk. Great over anything!
