Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: laurelk

Ingredients

1/3 cup flour (see below)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast

1/4 cup oil

2 cups water

1 Tbsp soy sauce (optional)

to taste salt and pepper

Directions

Combine all ingredients in small sauce pan, heat on medium, and whisk to keep from clumping… It’s really easy and forgiving.

Notes

I tend to make it as an after thought and get busy with all the other pans on the stove. I’ve used it as a gravy, sauce and even as “cheese” in some dishes.

Substitutions

I’ve made it with rice, oat and wheat flour. I don’t use soy sauce, but add salt. sometimes I put in some garlic or herbs too. I also tend to put MORE yeast in.

Omit soy sauce and add additional salt if avoiding soy.

Select a flour/thickener that is safe for your needs.

Nutritional yeast is better purchased pre-packaged than from the bulk bins to avoid cross contamination.

Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
