To answer the guy's question about amounts. Rule of thumb is 1-1-1. 1 Tbsp fat, 1 Tbsp flour, 1 cup liquid. You can adjust as needed for thicker or thinner sauce/gravy.
Just add a one to one ratio of flour to butter 2 tablespoons of flour and butter will work for 2 -3 cups of milk just keep on heating up until you get to what thickness you want just remember it will get thicker as it cools
We don't use hard boiled eggs in our family recipe. Just butter, flour, milk, tuna, toast, and frozen peas with salt and pepper to taste. We use white albacore tuna if you're wondering, usually two cans for a family of up two to four people.
Wolvgrin If you use tuna in water you can drain the tuna water into the milk for more tuna flavor. I also add a little cheese at the end of making the white sauce.
Remember this from elementary school living in Aroostook County here in Maine. The cafeteria ladies served it over a scoop of mashed potatoes and called it Tuna Pea Wiggle. It was one of my favorite meals that they served in grade school. It was served eith a stick of orange commodity cheese, mile-high yeast rolls that I swear were made by angels and a pint of white milk.
Lol I really do things like you do but here’s the thing you add equal amounts of butter as flour and for every table spoons of flour you add one cup of liquid. Also cook your roux longer gets rid of flour paste taste. But I don’t measure anymore either I just think someone new to cooking might need help! Love this dish cheap and feeds the family!
🐬 Creamed Tuna on Toast Roux: 2 Tbsp Butter & 1 Tbsp Flour with 1 cup milk 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese 10 oz tuna 1/2 tsp dill weed 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 slices of toasted rye bread
My mother used to make this except she always put some chopped onion in it.She's been gone dozen years and that's how long since I've had this. I think I'll make some tonight.
My mom did a variation on this with carrots too, try it with the carrots.. kicks it up a notch! Also someone told me to try it on rye bread, also a notch-kicker-upper.
The problem with this is that you don't get specific on ingredients. The guy operating the camera asks you how much of butter or milk and you say it depends on "how much you want to make" which makes no sense to someone who doesn't know how to cook. That's not instructional.
Hello yea my mom use to make it for me too I’m the 80s I can’t remember she use to buy a packet instead of putting flour and all that work lol used to have over boiled white potatoes and over toast peas n carrots and tuna where added I love it now that world has changed to crap they don’t sell packets anymore so I don’t know the name my mom used ?? And it’s male if me mad people can t leave things alone it’s sad the 70s n 80s best living
Shes going to snap at him in any moment, there is a sense of she wears the pants in this relationship. I lost count how many times she cuts him off. Shes got a boy on the side
Don't forget the hard-boiled eggs....thank goodness the camera guy was there to ask questions or nobody would know anything about this recipe. Do we ever learn what kind of tuna to use and how many cans??? I love creamed tuna on toast and at least this looks like it...
You've got to cook the flour taste out of that roux or the white sauce is going to taste like raw flour. Yuck. Add the flour to the butter, put it on med low heat and stir it carefully until it browns a bit. You'll be able to smell it when it's right. I hate peas, so I like to add maybe capers, sliced mushrooms, minced parsley, maybe some minced white onion... jazz it up a bit.
@JoJo Winfield, the reason your sauce tastes too much like flour is because it's still raw-- you didn't cook the butter/flour mixture long enough. The best cooks always taste the food throughout preparation, making corrections as needed. 😉
JoJo Winfield the person who made this video didnt cook his flour long enough either....so not ur fault....try again just let the roux cook a few minutes
When are women gonna learn long nails do not look good? 😖 Makes it hard to watch videos that show hands when so many people are sporting nails like that these days.
