1 cup dairy free milk
¼ tsp fine salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
⅛ tsp white pepper
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

1
Melt the dairy free butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until fully liquid and just beginning to foam.
2
Add the flour all at once and whisk constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture forms a smooth, pale paste and smells faintly nutty — this cooks out the raw flour taste.
