- Then use a whisk to blend in the flour. Cook this for about 5 minutes, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Lower the heat and whisk in the evaporated milk, chicken broth, salt, pepper, mustard, onion powder, and garlic.
- Raise the heat back to medium and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. It should be slightly thickened.

Steps:
- Put 6 tablespoons butter and the mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with the paddle attachment until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
