The best part is you probably already have the simple ingredients in your pantry and fridge too.

Sharing the recipe, the mum wrote on Memories with Dishes that the creation was: "Easy, inexpensive and extremely delicious. Don't LOSE this recipe"

The recipe is simple enough, combining butter, flour, pepper, garlic powder, a beef stock cube, a chicken stock cube and some water.

Those who are feeling fancy can add a little dried sage, but it's not essential.
