Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a whisk for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes a bubbly paste called a roux.
Slowly pour the milk into the roux, about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, until all the milk is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Continue to cook the gravy over medium heat, stirring often, until it thickens. This should take about 8-10 minutes. If the gravy thickens too much, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Once thickened, add the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using). Stir these seasonings well into the gravy.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove the gravy from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving. This will help it thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve the gluten-free white gravy immediately over your choice of biscuits, mashed potatoes, or meat dishes.
