🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

2. Once the butter is fully melted, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour. Whisk constantly to form a smooth paste (this is your roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, but avoid browning.

3. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

4. Once the broth is incorporated, slowly whisk in the milk. Keep stirring until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Stir in the soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

6. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. For a thicker consistency, let it cook a bit longer; for a thinner gravy, add a splash of milk or vegetable broth.

8. Serve the gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy your comforting, vegetarian biscuits and gravy!
