Ingredients

▢ ¼ cup dairy free butter
▢ ⅓ cup all purpose flour (plain flour)
▢ ½ tsp black pepper (finely milled (if using coarsely milled, you’ll likely need more))
▢ ½ tsp salt
▢ ⅛ tsp garlic powder
▢ ⅛ tsp onion granules
▢ 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (substitute: cashew, oat or soy milk, or vegetable stock for a less creamy gravy)

Equipment

1 Medium Saucepan
1 Whisk

Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
1/4 cup dairy free butter
Whisk in the flour to make a ‘roux’ (a paste), whilst the saucepan is still on the heat. Allow the flour to ‘cook’ for 1 minute, whilst stirring.
1/3 cup all purpose flour (plain flour)
Whisk in the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion granules.
1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp onion granules
Keep the pan on the heat and add the milk a bit at a time (approx 1/2 a cup or 100ml at a time), whisking constantly.
Note: It’s important to whisk continuously because if you stop, lumps can start to form in the gravy.
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
Once all of the milk has been combined, gently simmer the gravy for around 5 minutes until thickened, whisking continuously.
Note: If after 5 minutes of cooking, the gravy isn’t as thick as you would like it, keep cooking it for another couple of minutes and it should keep thickening. Please note though that it will thicken as it cools.
Taste and adjust seasoning as required.
