Vegan Béchamel aka White Sauce

Step 1

Heat frying pan on medium/low heat, and melt vegan butter.

Step 2

Take the heat to low and add rice flour. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the "batter" is boiling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of milk and cornstarch. Add it to the pan and stir until combined.

Step 4

Add the next 1/2 cup of milk and stir until combined. You must go in small batches to ensure you get a smooth sauce. Go until you run out of milk. (Troubleshooting tips in the Notes section below.)

Step 5

Add salt, nutmeg, and white pepper when the sauce has thickened. Stir to combine.
