Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cup
  • Measuring Utensils
  • Iron Skillet (Or Other Skillet Alternative)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Almond Milk Or Non-Dairy Milk Of Choice
  • ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ Vegan Butter Or Margarine
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 2 Teaspoon Sage Dried
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Thyme Dried
  • Salt Measured To Personal Preference
  • Pepper Measured To Personal Preference

Instructions
 

  • On medium-high heat, get the skillet ready on the burner.
  • Add the vegan margarine or butter into the skillet as it heats up. The goal is to have the margarine, or butter, cover the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the margarine, or butter, has melted and successfully covered the bottom of the skillet, add in the flour. Whisk the flour so that it mixes with the fat (the butter/margarine). Cook at low heat for about 1 minute.
  • After 1 minute at low heat, remove the skillet from the burner. Slowly add in the almond milk, whisking to mix as you add the milk in.
  • Once you’ve mixed in all of the almond milk, add the salt and whisk to fully combine, place the skillet back on the burner at medium-high heat.
  • Continuously stir the gravy as it transfers to a simmer. The gravy will thicken, so make sure to whisk out the lumps that may form at the bottom and sides of the skillet. Do this until there are either no or only a few lumps in the gravy as it thickens.
  • The gravy should continue to thicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes, Once the time is up, turn off the burner.
  • At this point, add in the dry ingredients--salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, and thyme. Mix until evenly combined into the gravy.
  • Enjoy your White Gravy with mashed potatoes, vegan turkey cutlets, or a batch of homemade biscuits!

Notes

  1. Stirring constantly is essential for a nice, thick gravy. When the gravy is not stirred frequently, clumps can form and the gravy can end up scorching from sticking to the skillet too long. 
  2. The salt needs to be added when the almond milk (or other non-dairy milk) is added to the mixture. If the salt is not added during this step, the gravy will come out tasting rather bland as the salt needs to cook with the gravy to fully blend and flavor the gravy. 
  3. When there is too much flour in a gravy mixture, the gravy will come out thick and look rather pasty.
  4. When there is too little fat in a gravy mixture, the gravy will not thicken properly.
