Total Time
15 min
Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil (I like to use olive oil) 60ml or about 3 tbsp
- Plain flour 60g or just over 2oz
- Unsweetened, unflavoured almond milk or hazelnut milk is also good 400ml 2/3 of a pint
- Nutritional Yeast 60g or just over 2oz
- Mustard powder 1 tsp
- Garlic Powder 1/4 tsp
- Onion Powder 1/4 tsp
- Salt 1/4 tsp
- Pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan on a medium heat and add the plain flour
- Stir until the mixture makes smooth paste which doesn't stick to the pan
- Cook the mixture for at least 2 minutes
- Add about a quarter of the almond milk and allow to boil without stirring
- Stir the mixture until it is smooth, then beat fast (I do use a small hand whisk here if required)
- Keep adding the almond milk a little at a time, beating vigorously until you have a smooth white sauce.
- Turn down the heat to low and add the remaining ingredients
- Beat slowly for about a minute until smooth and silky
Notes
- Pour over cooked macaroni or cauliflower and bake.
